Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure

    IMPORTANT: Whenever the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heaters. After verifying the enable criteria, turn OFF the ignition for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sensors to cool before continuing with the test. Once the engine is started, do NOT turn the engine OFF for the remaining portion of the set procedure.
  1. Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above.
    • If the evaporative emission (EVAP) I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable.
    • If the EVAP Service Bay Test is NOT available, it may take up to 6 drive cycles, with up to 17 hours between drive cycles, for the EVAP I/M System Status indicator to transition to YES.
    • If the O2S Heater System Status indicator displays NO, ensure that the ignition has been turned OFF for at least 10 hours.
  2. Turn OFF all accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc.
  3. Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.
  4. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF for 1 minute.
  5. Start and idle the engine for 2 minutes and until 65°C (149°F) is achieved.
  6. Run the engine for 8 minutes within the following conditions:
    • MAF parameter between 4-30 g/s
    • Engine speed steady between 1,000-3,000 RPM
  7. Apply and hold brake pedal, and shift to Drive for automatic, or apply clutch pedal for manual and operate the vehicle within the following conditions for 2 minutes:
    • Mass air flow (MAF) signal between 15-30 g/s
    • RPM steady between 1,200-1,500 RPM
    8. IMPORTANT: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal during the idle period. A change in throttle position (TP) Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.
  8. Release the accelerator pedal and allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes.
    9. CAUTION: Refer to Road Test Caution .
  9. Release the parking brake and drive vehicle at 24 km/h (15 mph) or slower for 2 minutes.
  10. Continue to drive the vehicle for at least 5.5 miles between 45 km/h-112 km/h (28-70 mph) with the vehicle reaching at least 80 km/h (50 mph).
  11. Safely stop the vehicle, apply the parking brake and shift to Park for automatic, or Neutral and release clutch pedal for manual.
    12. IMPORTANT: Do NOT disturb the vehicle or turn ON the ignition until told to do so. Disturbing the vehicle may invalidate this portion of the test.
  12. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 minutes.
  13. Observe the I/M System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.
    • If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO turn OFF the ignition for 17 hours, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 10-13 six more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table  to identify the DTCs that did not run.
    • If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table  for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.
