For a combustion engine this means starting of the engine. In real world usage the engine might only run in idle or may not reach a complete engine start (defined in SAE standards) before being turned off. Normally, actual driving on a road will follow. For emissions testing on the dyno, the term “driving cycle” is used: definition “(41) ‘type I test’ means the applicable driving cycle used for emission approvals”, driving cycle refers here to the applicable WMTC speed-time trace as test cycle. For OBD purposes, “driving cycle” has a different meaning and specifies a test cycle where all the conditions necessary for a diagnostic monitor to perform and find a malfunction are met: definition “(42) ‘driving cycle’ means a test cycle consisting of engine key-on, driving mode where a malfunction would be detected if present, and engine key-off”. For different diagnostics the driving mode necessary for malfunction detection and therefore the driving cycle may be different, i.e. it is not one generic speed-time trace. “Driving cycle” for OBD also refers to real world driving where “test cycle” means “driving event”. The “key cycle” is not defined in the regulation but as a demo test description. Its is meant for demonstrating circuit continuity and certain rationality diagnostics in a simple way by just turning the engine on and running idle, without the need for a dyno test. Interpretation: start is “key on/engine on” (i.e. with engine running in idle), as “key on/engine off” would not be consistent with “driving cycle” and MIL “bulb check” requirements. The definition of “driving cycle” includes the “key cycle”. EPPR OBD CG 26.9.2018 2wh (L-category vehicle) OBD cycles Copyright © 2018 CLEPA. All rights reserved. www.clepa.eu OBD CYCLES • • • • • 2/3 For the OBD demo, the standard test cycle is the WMTC. An alternative demo cycle may be used if it can be demonstrated that the WMTC is too restrictive and the alternative demo cycle covers real world driving. This includes the option to use only running in idle if no OTL verification is necessary: either using the “key cycle” demo test or for circuit continuity “demonstrate these failure modes using driving conditions in which the component is used and the monitoring conditions are encountered” *. EU regulations allow the completion of OBD tasks after “engine key off”: ‘3.2.3. Identification of deterioration or malfunctions may also be done outside a driving cycle (e.g. after engine shutdown)’* IUPR requires a counter for the “ignition cycle”, which is not defined in the EU regulations, but in SAE J1979: “Ignition Cycle Counter displays the count of the number of times that the engine has been started.” This refers to the completed engine start, i.e. if the vehicle meets the engine start criterion (the point when the engine reaches a speed 150 rpm below the normal, warmed-up idle speed). An ignition cycle is any driving event with a completed combustion engine start. After a confirmed malfunction (with “MIL on”) has been “healed” during three consecutive driving events without malfunction detection (“driving cycles”) the MIL may be switched off but the confirmed DTC stays in OBD memory. It may only be erased after 40 “warm up cycles” without malfunction detection. "Warm-up cycle category 3 vehicle** " means sufficient vehicle operation such that the coolant temperature rises by at least 22 ºC from engine start-up to at least 70°C If this condition is insufficient to determine the warm up cycle, with the permission of the approval authority, alternative criteria and/or alternative signal(s) or information (e.g. spark plug seat temperature, engine oil temperature, vehicle operation time, accumulative engine revolution, travel distance, etc.) may be adopted. In any case, all signal(s) and information used for determination need to be monitored by the ECU and shall be made available by data stream. ** Reg. 2018/295 amending Reg. 44/2014 & 134/2014, from R83/05 1st amendment dated 5.02.2016 ** GTR 18 ECE Trans 180a 18e Copyright © 2018 CLEPA.

There might be driving events where the “warm up cycle” criteria are met but not the “driving cycle” criteria for a specific malfunction. In this case a malfunction could not be detected but nevertheless the counter for the number of warm up cycles is increased. Purpose: keep the information that a malfunction had been confirmed (with “MIL on”) only for a limited time in OBD memory after healing with “MIL off”.

All rights reserved. www.clepa.eu Default Modes in EU 2wh regulations The EU regulations * use the term “default mode” for two different purposes 1. (permanent) default mode of operation for emission related components/systems: ‒ indicates that due to a detected malfunction a default or substitute value is being used – must be shown in OBD summary table ‒ if this default mode is permanent (i.e. activated in the next driving cycle without the diagnostics being performed again), the MIL must be switched on in the driving cycle where it was activated ‒ same requirements as in EOBD for cars/vans ‒ 2wheeler specific: use for “black MIL” – if malfunction leads to emissions above OTL, but the activated default mode leads to emissions below the OTL, all OBD requirements like fault code storage, tester communication etc. must be fulfilled, but MIL may be kept off. Emissions data must be documented for default and non-default driving modes. 2. (permanent) default mode of operation leading to a significant torque reduction ‒ due to a failure a default mode is activated which significantly reduces torque (by 10% or more) ‒ independent of the effect on emissions, but a malfunction leading to a torque reduction could also be emissions relevant ‒ 2wheeler specific requirement, i.e. nothing comparable in EOBD or CARB OBD • Originally (Reg. 44/2014), all activated default modes must be shown in data stream – this requirement was revoked with Reg. 2018/295 • For regulatory text references see next pages * Regulation 44/2014, Reg. 134/2014 Copyright © 2018 CLEPA.

All rights reserved. www.clepa.eu 13 Default Mode in 2wh GTR 18 – CLEPA proposals CLEPA proposal for definitions • "Default mode" [or “limp-home mode”] refers to a case where the engine management controller switches to a setting that does not require an input from a failed component or system; • "Permanent default mode [or limp-home mode]" refers to a case where the engine management controller permanently switches to a setting that does not require an input from a failed component or system where such a failed component or system would result in an increase in emissions to a level above the OBD threshold limits [given in paragraph XXX of this GTR] or if the OBD system is unable to fulfil the basic monitoring requirements of this GTR or if the failure triggers an operation mode with a significant torque reduction. • Justification: cars/vans EOBD considers only emission related default modes. 2wh OBD additionally considers failures of powertrain components or systems triggering any programmed ‘limp-home’ operating mode which significantly reduces engine torque. The default mode could either be only active during the driving cycle the failure was detected in or it is permanently active. MI activation for the first case is based on debouncing (standard case three driving cycles) by the OBD system, for the second case the MI must be switched on when the permanent default mode is activated. • In GTR 18 “limp-home" is specifically defined as an "operation mode triggered by the control system that restricts fuel quantity, intake air quantity, spark delivery or other powertrain control variables resulting in significant reduction of output torque or engine revolution or vehicle speed“. • Limp-home could either be used to designate specifically the default mode with significant torque reduction (additional wording in GTR text necessary, often replacing or in addition to default mode) or the default mode definition as proposed above includes significant torque reduction. In the latter case limp-home could be completely deleted from the GTR. EPPR OBD CG 26.9.2018 2wh (L-category vehicle) OBD cycles Copyright © 2018 CLEPA.

"Permanent emission default mode" refers to a case where the engine management controller permanently switches to a setting that does not require an input from a failed component or system where such a failed component or system would result in an increase in emissions from the vehicle to a level above the OTL [limits given in paragraph 3.3.2. of this annex]. • 3.5.1. … The MI shall not be used for any purposes other than to indicate emergency start-up or limp-home routines … • 3.5.2. … The MI shall also activate whenever the powertrain control enters a permanent default mode of operation if the OTL [emission thresholds] … are exceeded or if the OBD system is unable to fulfil the basic monitoring requirements laid down in paragraphs 3.3.3. or 3.3.4. • 3.6.1. … If the MI is activated due to deterioration or malfunction or permanent emission default modes of operation, a fault code shall be stored that identifies the type of malfunction. … • 3.2. (data stream) … The signals shall be provided in standard units based on the specifications … . Actual signals shall be clearly identified separately from default value or limp-home signals. • Conclusion: EOBD for LDV requires MI activation for confirmed malfunctions and for pending/confirmed malfunctions if a permanent default mode of operation is activated. Permanent means that in the driving cycle with fault detection and any following driving cycles the diagnostics cannot run anymore due to the permanent default mode of operation. If the default mode is only activated for the driving cycle with fault detection and not active in the next driving cycle so that the diagnostics can run and could find the fault again if present, MI must only be activated with a confirmed malfunction.
