Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure

  1. Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above.
  2. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable.
  3. Turn OFF all accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.
  4. Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.
  5. Start and idle the engine for 2 min.
  6. Refer to ROAD TEST WARNING .

    Close the hood, release the parking brake and accelerate at part throttle to 72-80 km/h (45-50 mph). Keep this speed until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8-10 min.

  7. Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.
  8. Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.
  9. Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter decel fuel cut-off.
  10. NOTE: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.

    Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.

  11. Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.
  12. Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.
  13. If the I/M-system's status indicators for EVAP shows NO, turn off the ignition and make sure that the car meets the conditions for cold start. Repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the I/M-system's status indicators for EVAP show YES. If the indicator still shows NO, see INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST DTC TABLE  to identify which DTC was not run.
  14. If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST DTC TABLE  for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.
  15. NOTE: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.

    Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present.

  16. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Engine Management And Fuel System, V6 DTC Index  and refer to INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK .
  17. Observe the Engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present.
  18. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Engine Management And Fuel System, V6 DTC Index . After repairs, perform the INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE  to verify no further DTCs are set.
