What is the drive cycle for a 2000 Kia Sportage?

Answer 1

Kia shares engineering designs with several mfg. Because of this, they do not publish drive trace info. Us ethe following options when setting Kia readiness: Early models (use Mazda drive trace): Pre-reqs: -clear codes, fuel fill between 15 and 85 %, all accessories off, cold start (prefer 8 hour cold soak engine between 68 and 86 deg. F) -start vehicle and idle for 5 min -rev engine in neutral or park to 2300-2700 rpm for 15 sec -rev engine in neutral or park to 3800-4200 rpm for 15 sec -idle engine for 20 sec with cooling fan stopped -accelerate to 52-55 mph, maintain speed in high gear for 1 1/2 min -deccelerate to 15 mph, drive for 13 min at speeds ranging from 15-35 mph -maintain a steady 25 mph for 5o sec Late models: use Hyundai drive trace -cold start (undefined by mfg), fuel fill between 15 and 85%, codes cleared, elevation below 8,000 ft -Note start time. you will need it later. Drive 2 min at 35 mph -stop and idle car 1 min -drive at 45 mph for 10 min, keeping rpms between 2000-2400 -deccelerate to 35 mph. selecting second gear, accelerate engine to 4000 rpm, and lift off throttle for 10 sec -repeat last step four more times -drive at 55 mph until 16 min have passed since starting drive trace. If time since start exceeds 20 min, evaporative monitor will not run. -Stop and idle car 4 mintip in throttle every min to change idle state. There is a universal drive cycle that requires checking car repeatedly with obd II readiness tool, so you may want to leave that to your mechanic.
