Description
The purpose of the I/M Complete System Set Procedure is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute all of the I/M readiness diagnostics, and complete the trips for those particular diagnostics. When all diagnostic tests are completed, the I/M System Status indicators are set to YES. Perform this procedure when more than one of the I/M System Status indicators are set to NO.
Conditions for Running
Cold Start
| • | The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. |
| • | The startup engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F). |
| • | The startup intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F). |
| • | The difference between the startup IAT and the startup ECT is 8°C (14.4°F) or less. |
| • | The battery voltage is between 11-18 volts. |
| • | The fuel level is between 15 and 85 percent. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step is to run the HO2S Heater Tests and initiate the EVAP System Test.
Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria.
-
This step is to run 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.
-
This step is to run the Catalyst Tests. This test runs during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
-
The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not what the outcome of the test was. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |||||
Important: Whenever the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the 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. Is the action complete? | 2 minutes | Go to Step 3 | -- | |||||

5 | Observe the I/M System Status display with a scan tool. Did all of the I/M System Status indicators update to YES? | -- | Go to Step 6 | Go to the I/M System Set Procedure for the systems that have not updated | ||||
Observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display with a scan tool. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? | -- | System OK |
