BLCKTEC 430: When to Perform a Complete Drive Cycle
Purpose
To provide you with steps on how to identify if you need to perform a Drive Cycle while using the BLCKTEC 430.
Introduction
When there are Drive Cycle Monitors that indicate a Failing or Incomplete result when scanned with the BLCKTEC 430, a complete drive cycle must be completed. The following vehicle systems are considered as the Drive Cycle Monitor that is checked during a scan to perform a Complete Drive Cycle:
- MIS - Misfire Monitor
- FUE - Fuel System Monitor
- CCM - Comprehensive Component Monitor
- EVA - Evap System Monitor
- 02S - Oxygen Sensor Monitor
- HTR - Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
- EGR - EGR System Monitor
- CAT - Catalyst Monitor
These monitors are not directly shown, but you will know if there are errors within these monitors if a failing result shows after you perform a scan.
To know if you need to perform a drive cycle, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Select Whole System.
|
After pairing the RepairSolutions2 app and the BLCKTEC 430, select 'Whole System' to open a by-module drop-down list of individual monitor options. |
Step 2 - Wait until the app reads the data from your vehicle.
|
The app will read data from your vehicle, including the odometer. |
Step 3 - Select 'Generate Report.'
|
After your vehicle's odometer is read by the app, select 'Generate Report.' |
|
While generating the report, ensure your vehicle is turned to the 'ON' position, and your mobile phone is close to your BLCKTEC 430. |
Note: your vehicle’s odometer mileage should automatically be recorded in the Odometer field.
Step 4 - View the 'Report Page.'
|
The 'Report Page' will appear after the mobile app is done generating reports. Do the following according to the scan results:

Note: If trouble codes are still present after a drive cycle, you need to troubleshoot the issue to have a PASS result after a scan.
