Warm-Up Cycle
2001 Chevrolet Lumina V6-3.1L VIN JSECTION Warm-Up Cycle
The PCM uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics, and to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from start-up. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature. The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a malfunction.
