PREPARATION
1. Make sure the following parts are in good order:
- Battery
- Ignition System
- Engine oil and coolant level
- Fuses
- Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector
- Vacuum hoses
- Air intake system (oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
- Fuel pressure
- Engine compression
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) operation
- Throttle valve
2. On A/C equipped models, checks should be carried out with the system OFF.
3. On A/T equipped models, checks should be done with the transaxle in NEUTRAL.
4. When measuring Carbon Monoxide (CO) percentage, insert probe more than 40 Cm (15.7 in) into tailpipe.
5. Turn off headlamps, heater blower, and rear defogger.
6. Keep front wheels pointed straight ahead.
7. Make the inspection after the radiator fan has stopped.
