These are codes whose storing conditions have been met during the last drive cycle,
but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC is stored.
The purpose of displaying pending codes is to assist the service technician after a
vehicle repair when diagnostic information is cleared, by reporting test results after a
single driving cycle.
a) If a test fails during the driving cycle, the DTC associated is reported. If the pending
fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically
cleared from memory.
