The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the 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. 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  .
  3. 4

    This step helps identify any unique or any unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test in the event the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in the service information under Conditions for Running DTC.
  4. 5

    The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic test has run, not the outcome of the test. If any Emission Related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
