Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test,
which you can use prior to going to the test
station. To check if your vehicle’s OBD II system
is ready, you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,
but do not crank or start the engine.
NOTE:
If you crank or start the engine, you will have
to start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to
the ON position, you will see the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part
of a normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two
things will happen:
•
The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and
then return to being fully illuminated until you
turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This
means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is
not ready and you should not proceed to the
I/M station.
•
The MIL will not flash at all and will remain
fully illuminated until you turn OFF the igni-
tion or start the engine. This means that your
vehicle’s OBD II system is ready and you
can proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready, you should
see your authorized dealer or repair facility. If
your vehicle was recently serviced or had a
battery failure or replacement, you may need to
do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you
normally would in order for your OBD II system
to update. A recheck with the above test routine
may then indicate that the system is now
ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle’s OBD II
system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated
during normal vehicle operation you should
have your vehicle serviced before going to the
I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle
because the MIL is on with the engine running.
