Question Drive cycle
What does the service manual say constitutes a "drive cycle" for a 2005 explorer? Thanks.

Re: Drive cycle
Hi
Are you talking about a drive cycle for Pre-Delivery or for OBDII purposes ?

Re: Drive cycle
It's like 10 pages long !! I could scan it for you tomorrow but it's too long to be posted here I think. If you're REALLY REALLY interested I'll e-mail it to you. Say where....

Re: Drive cycle
No worries!!!

ps. If you don't mind my asking, why is it you're interested in OBD II? Not many people even know it exists...!

Re: Drive cycle
I drive for a living and work on my own vehicles. I deliver the US mail on a contract basis on the Crow Indian reservation in MT. I have known about OBD II since it was the law...I have had a few '95 Subarus and they had it. My current vehicles are a 2001 Ranger with 231,000 miles and an '05 Explorer.
A lotof shade tree mechanics are afraid of "computers" but I love it, I just figure it's there to help if I learn to use it to it's full advantage. I have done some hacking and cracking with OBD I but not the second generation...yet!
Thanks. TG[IMG][/IMG]
