Hi.

I have a 1997 LC 80. I disconnected the battery to set up my double battery system and now I have to do my emissions test..

Plugged a scanner and EGR System shows INC.

I have driven 80 miles since I connected the battery.

Have done the "EGR Drive Cycle" driving 3 times.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Some people have told me I need to drive 100 to 150 miles...

EGR MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
All models 1996-2002
Pre-Conditioning Requirements:

  • MIL must be off.
  • Altitude is below 7801 feet (2400 m).
  • IAT (Intake Air Temperature) must be above 13E F (-10E C).
  • 1996-2000 Land Cruiser / LX 450 ECT must be below 104E F (40E C).
  • Diving Procedure
  1. Connect Scan tool in order to observe data stream and monitor status.
  2. If IAT is less than 50E F (10EC) at engine start-up, idle engine for 10 minutes.

    Notes: Do not exceed 30% TPS. Maintain smooth throttle inputs, avoiding sudden accelerations.
    Exception: 1996-2000 Land Cruiser & LX 450- Begin driving immediately.
  3. Drive the vehicle at a steady speed between 43 & 56 mph (70-90 km/h) for three to five minutes.
  4. Stop the vehicle and idle the engine for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Repeat steps 1-3 once.
Notes: Readiness may not switch to complete if a pending code was set during the drive trace. Toyotas do report pending codes (using an enhanced scan tool). Pending codes are not considered a failure, and typically must be duplicated in order to set a DTC & MIL.
