Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic test procedure.
- 1
Make sure you perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES. - 2
This step is to initiate the EVAP System Test. - 3
This step runs the EVAP and oxygen sensor tests. The EVAP test begins once engine coolant reaches a calibrated temperature. The Oxygen sensor tests begin once engine is at operating temperature, in Closed Loop fuel control, and a calibrated amount of time has elapsed. - 4
This step runs the Catalyst and HO2S Heater tests. - 5
Perform the individual system test for any of the systems that do not update to YES. - 6
The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not what the outcome of the test was. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
