Barometric pressure	≥ 75.1 kPa (563 mmHg, 22.2 inHg)
Lambda value (left and right)	≥ 0.85 and < 1.151
Vehicle speed	0 km/h (0 MPH)
Engine coolant temperature	≥ 60 °C (140 °F)
Elapsed time after starting the engine	≥ 10 s
Accelerator pedal position	While idling
Elapsed time after gear position change (P ←> D or N ←> D)	> 5 s
Cold start diagnosis	Not in operation
Main feedback	In operation
Idle speed control feedback	In operation

3. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Perform the diagnosis continuously at idling after warming up engine.

4. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
