WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.
- 1 - Ensure you perform the I/M system check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating status to YES.
- 2 - EVAP system test runs immediately following the idle period.
- 3 - This step is to identify a first failure of a type "B" DTC. A DTC only appears on I/M system status display when DTC becomes a MIL illuminating DTC. This occurs on the second failure of a type "B" DTC. A first failure of a type "B" DTC will not allow the I/M system status to update to YES. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- 4 - This step is to help identify any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test in the event the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in the service information under conditions for running the DTC.
- 5 - 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.
