If the vehicle’s powertrain systemor its battery has just been serviced,
the on-board diagnostics systemis reset to a “not ready for I/M test”
condition. To ready the on-board diagnostics systemfor I/M testing, a
minimum of 30 minutes of city and highway driving is necessary as
described below:
•
First, at least 10 minutes of driving on an expressway or highway.
•
Next, at least 20 minutes driving in stop-and-go, city-type traffic with
at least four idle periods.
Allow the vehicle to sit for at least eight hours without starting the
engine. Then, start the engine and complete the above driving cycle. The
engine must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started,
do not turn off the engine until the above driving cycle is complete.
CHECKING AND ADDING POWER STEERING FLUID
Check the power steering fluid. Refer to the scheduled maintenance
guide for the service interval schedules. If adding fluid is necessary, use
only MERCON
威
ATF.
1. Start the engine and let it run
until it reaches normal operating
temperature (the engine coolant
temperature gauge indicator will be
near the center of the normal area
between H and C).
2. While the engine idles, turn the
steering wheel left and right several
times.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between the MIN
and MAX lines. Do not add fluid if the level is in this range.

the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines. Be
sure to put the cap back on the reservoir.
