Diagnostic Procedures

NOTE: Many DTC related repairs will instruct the technician to clear DTC information. This procedure will reset ALL I/M System Status indicators to NO, and require performing the I/M Complete System Set Procedure.
  1. Perform powertrain diagnostic system check - engine controls. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Repair any DTCs or driveability concerns that would prevent I/M System Status tests from completing. Did you find and repair a DTC or driveability concern? If yes, go to step  3. If no, go to next step.
  2. Review any service bulletins for software updates that may prevent I/M readiness. Perform any reprogramming or repairs indicated by the service bulletins. Was a repair service required? If yes, see INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE . If no, go next step.
  3. Using scan tool, observe I/M SYSTEM STATUS display. Is more than one test indicating a NO status? If yes, see INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE . If no, go to appropriate INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM SET procedure for the indicated system.
