Inspection/Maitenance (I/M) Complete System Set Procedure

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the I/M Complete System Set Procedure is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute all of the I/M readiness diagnostics, and complete the drive cycles for those particular diagnostics. When all diagnostic tests are completed, the I/M System Status indicators are set to YES. Perform this procedure when more than one of the I/M System Status indicators are set to NO.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING

Cold Start
- The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 74 kPa.
- The startup engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F).
- The startup intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F).
- The difference between the startup IAT and the startup ECT is 8°C (14.4°F) or less.
- The battery voltage is between 9-18 volts.
- The fuel level is between 15 and 85 percent.
- The fuel level does not increase more than 9 percent during this drive cycle.
- The engine run time is at least 10 minutes.
- The vehicle has been driven at least 5 km (3.15 miles) this drive cycle.
- The estimated ambient temperature at the end of this drive cycle is between 2-32°C (36-89°F).
- The shutdown engine coolant temperature (ECT) is at least 70°C (158°F).
- The ignition is turned OFF for at least 1 hour after this drive cycle.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1 - 2:




Steps 3 - 4:




Steps 5 - 6:




The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step is to run the HO2S Heater diagnostics and initiate the EVAP System diagnostic.
3. This step is to run the EVAP, AIR and the Oxygen Sensor diagnostics. 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 diagnostics 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 Catalyst diagnostics and the Engine Off Natural Vacuum (EONV) portion of the EVAP diagnostics. The Catalyst diagnostics run during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period. The EONV portion of the EVAP diagnostics runs with the engine OFF.
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.
