Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an I/M test of

the on-board diagnostics system. If your

indicator is on, refer to the

description in the Warning lights and chimes section of the

Instrument Cluster chapter. Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test with

the

indicator on.

If the vehicle’s powertrain system or its battery has just been serviced,

the on-board diagnostics system is reset to a “not ready for I/M test”

condition. To ready the on-board diagnostics system for I/M testing, a

minimum of 30 minutes of city and highway driving is necessary as

described below:

• First, at least 10 minutes of driving on an expressway or highway.

• Next, at least 20 minutes driving in stop-and-go, city-type traffic with

at least four idle periods.

Allow the vehicle to sit for at least eight hours without starting the

engine. Then, start the engine and complete the above driving cycle. The

engine must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started,

do not turn off the engine until the above driving cycle is complete.

CHECKING AND ADDING POWER STEERING FLUID

Check the power steering fluid.

Refer to the scheduled maintenance

guide for the service interval

schedules. If adding fluid is

necessary, use only MERCON威

ATF.

1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating

temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be

near the center of the normal area between H and C).

2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several

times.

3. Turn the engine off.
