Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure

Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure

Description

The purpose of this procedure is to satisfy the criteria necessary to execute all of the I/M readiness diagnostics. This includes completing the trips for those particular diagnostics. When all diagnostic tests are completed, the I/M System Status indicators are set to YES. Perform this test if more than one of the I/M System Status indicators is set to NO.

Conditions for Running

* The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 72 kPa.
* The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is more than -5°C (23°F).
* The intake air temperature (IAT) at start-up is less than 40°C (104°F).
* The start-up IAT minus the actual IAT are within 3°C (5°F).
* The engine is OFF for more than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met:

- The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F).
- The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F).

* The ignition 1 voltage is between 10-16 volts.
* The fuel level is between 1/4 and 3/4.

Diagnostic Aids

Rough road conditions may prevent some of the tests from running. Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may prevent tests such as heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater and evaporative emission (EVAP) system from initiating. If a step is interrupted before completion, perform the remaining portion of the set procedures. Any portion of the set procedure that requires the engine at operating temperature may be repeated. This allows most of the diagnostics to run and the remaining tests can be performed using the individual System Set Procedures.

If the vehicle has recently run, start this procedure at step 3. This will allow the tests that require the engine at operating temperature to run. Using this method allows shorter cool down periods if the tests requiring a cold start do not initiate.

The scan tool can be used to monitor each of the I/M System Status indicators during the I/M Complete System Set Procedure. When all of the indicators for a test step have updated to YES, testing can move on to the next step even if the remaining portion of the test is not complete. For example, step 3 is designed to run the HO2S test. The procedure instructs the technician to operate the vehicle in the enable conditions for 8-10 minutes. If the test has updated to YES within 4 minutes, it is not necessary to continue with the enable conditions and testing can advance to the next step.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
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. This step is to initiate the HO2S heater tests.
3. This step is to run the oxygen sensor test. 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. This step is to run the EVAP test. This test runs during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
5. This step is to run the EGR test. This test runs during the deceleration period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibration vehicle speed.
6. This step is to run the catalyst test. This test runs during idle immediately following a cruise portion that meets the minimum airflow and duration conditions.
7. Perform the individual system test for any of the systems that do not update to YES.
8. 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.
