Inspection/Maintenance Air System Set Procedure: Procedure

  1. Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, see INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK .
    2. WARNING: Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.
  2. Ensure the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running. Turn OFF all of the accessories (e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.). Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes. For the Active Test to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions:
    • Acceleration at part throttle to 45 MPH with this speed maintained for 3 minutes or until the I/M System Status indicator updates to YES.
    • With a scan tool, review the I/M System Status display.

    Did the AIR System Status update to YES? If yes, go to step  5. If no, go to next step.

  4. Refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to determine which DTCs are required to run in order to complete this test. See INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS  table.

Repeat procedure for any additional required DTCs that have not run. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did the AIR System Status update to YES? If yes, go to next step.
