Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.
- 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.
- 1 - This step is to run the HO2S Heater Tests. Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria.
- 2 - This step is to run the Catalyst Test. The Catalyst Test runs during the specified cruise period.
- 3 - This step is to run the Catalyst Test. The Catalyst Test runs during the specified cruise period.
- 4 - This step is to run the EGR Tests. The EGR Tests are run during a gradual deceleration with a closed throttle. The vehicle speed is required in order to maintain a high, steady MAP signal. If the vehicle is not equipped with an EGR System, this step is not necessary and the testing can continue at step 5.
- 5 - This step is to run the Oxygen Sensor Tests. These tests run during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
- 6 - This step is to run the EVAP Tests. These tests run during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
- 8 - 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.
