Test Description

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

1. 2
   
   This step is to run the HO2S Heater Tests and initiate the EVAP System Test.
2. 3
   
   This step runs the EVAP, AIR and the Oxygen Sensor Tests. The EVAP Test begins once the engine coolant reaches a calibrated temperature. The AIR Test, if equipped, begins shortly after Closed Loop and the indicated speed is achieved. The Oxygen Sensor Tests begin once the engine is at operating temperature, in Closed Loop fuel control, and a calibrated amount of time has elapsed.
3. 4
   
   This step runs the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Tests. The EGR Tests are run during a gradual deceleration with a closed throttle. The vehicle speed is required in order to maintain a high, steady MAP signal.
4. 5
   
   This step runs the Catalyst Tests. This test runs during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
5. 7
   
   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.
