Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Sonoma, 2002 GMC Safari, 2002 GMC Jimmy, 2002 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

  1. 1

    Make sure that 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. 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. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .

  4. 4

    This step helps identify any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test if the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in Conditions for Running DTC.

  5. 5

    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.
