If no, go to next step.
- Review any service bulletins for software updates that may prevent I/M readiness. Perform any reprogramming or repairs indicated by the service bulletins. Was a repair service required? If yes, go to INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE . If no, go next step.
- Using scan tool, observe the I/M system Status display. Is more than one test indicating a NO status? If yes, go to INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE . If no, go to appropriate INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM SET procedure for the indicated system.
