Honda Drive Cycle - What is this?
Is anybody familiar with a "drive cycle?"
I live in New York, and wasn't able to pass the emissions test. I recently had the battery replaced. As such, the car's computer didn't provide any reading for the three tests associated with emissions. Some research seems to indicate I must complete a "drive-cycle" before the computer will register emissions information.
The test station suggested I drive about 75 miles, and then come back. At this point, I'm driving with a 10 day time-extension on the emissions test, so I want to have everything OK before getting a re-test.
Happy New Year to everybody out there who is always so helpful.

OK - thanks.

Check out this thread. There's some specific things that have to happen during the driving cycles, so it's not always as simple as driving xxx miles. Your 1996 probably has a little simpler requirements, but just so you get an idea what's going on.
