  1. 1Β  - Ensure you perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating status to YES. See INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECKΒ .
  2. 2Β  - This step runs HO2S Heater Tests and initiate the EVAP System Test.
  3. 3Β  - This step is to run the catalyst test. The catalyst test runs during the specified cruise period.
  4. 4Β  - This step is to set up the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) tests. These tests run during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
  5. 5Β  - This step is to run the oxygen sensor tests and EVAP Tests. These tests run during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
  6. 6Β  - Perform individual system test for any systems that do not update to YES.
  7. 7Β  - I/M SYSTEM STATUS only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not the outcome of the test. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
