Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.

  1. 1  - Perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.
  2. 2  - The catalyst test during the idle period immediately following the cruise period.
  3. 3  - This step identifies a first failure of a type "B" DTC. A DTC only appears on the I/M System Status display when the DTC becomes a MIL illuminating DTC. This occurs on the second failure of a type "B" DTC. A first failure of a type "B" DTC will not allow the I/M System Status to update to YES. Go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
  4. 4  - This step identifies any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test in the event the universal set procedure does not.
  5. 5  - The I/M System Status only verifies whether 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.
