    Drive cycle in scanner

    Has anyone used the "Drive Cycle" in the Layout section? Any shortcuts or if it is useful? Seems to have many different separate monitor tests. I have, at least for a few years been using Mode 6 to check for sensor, cat function to get an idea how "Used up" something is based on how close to thresholds it is. Just want to see if this is another good tool in the toolbox for monitor setting etc.

    I know it has been a while but has anyone had any success in getting this to work? The Help section is vague to say the least.

    What issue are you having?

    It's a pretty commonly used tool for validating emissions testing.

    How to actually find the drive cycle in the scanner. Don't see it in any of the drop downs. The picture I put in post 2 was one I pulled off the internet.
    Is it a chart? Graph? Gauge?
    Is it a specific downloadable layout? Is it one of the default layouts? For the life of me I just can't seem to find it.

    Ah looks like 4.13 or later. Any chance the layout if uploaded could be used on earlier versions?

    You can install the beta and have Windows use the legacy editor as default and the beta scanner as default.

    I will do that. I think I should have a later version of 4 somewhere. Just hesitant to go 5 as I don't want the firmware update.

    Does it require a firmware update for the latest beta if you're only scanning with the beta but editing/flashing with the old release version?
