WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

  1. 1 -  Make sure 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. 2 -  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.
  3. 3 -  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.
  4. 4 -  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.
  5. 6 -  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.
