The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic procedures.
- 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 - Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria.
- 3 - This step is to identify 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. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- 4 - This step is to identify 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.
