Maintenance and Specifications -> POWER STEERING FLUID for Your Ford Focus 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2010)

Maintenance and Specifications  
The OBD-II system is designed to check the emission control system  
during normal driving. A complete check may take several days. If the  
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, the following driving cycle consisting  
of mixed city and highway driving may be performed:  
15 minutes of steady driving on an expressway/highway followed by 20  
minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30 second idle periods.  
Allow the vehicle to sit for at least eight hours without starting the  
engine. Then, start the engine and complete the above driving cycle. The  
engine must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started,  
do not turn off the engine until the above driving cycle is complete. If  
the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing, the above driving cycle will  
have to be repeated.
