Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step runs the HO2S Heater Tests and initiate the EVAP System Test. Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria.
  2. 3:  This step runs the EVAP, AIR, and the oxygen sensor (O2S) tests. The EVAP test begins once the engine coolant reaches a calibrated temperature. The AIR test, if equipped, begins shortly after Closed Loop and the indicated speed is achieved. The oxygen sensor tests begin once the engine is at operating temperature, in Closed Loop fuel control, and a calibrated amount of time has elapsed.
  3. 5:  The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not the outcome of the test. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.

Step Action Value(s) Yes No
1 Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? - Go to Step 2  Go to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check 
    IMPORTANT: Whenever the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heaters. After verifying the enable criteria, turn OFF the ignition for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sensors to cool before continuing with the test. Once the engine is started, DO NOT turn the engine OFF for the remaining portion of the set procedure.
  1. Preprogram the scan tool with the vehicle information before the ignition is turned ON.
