Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By

law, vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures, repairs, services,

sells, leases, trades vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not

permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent

it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on

the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the

engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and gives some tune up

specifications.

Please consult your Warranty Guide for complete emission warranty

information.

On board diagnostics (OBD-II)

Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’s

emission control system. This system is commonly known as the On

Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II). The OBD-II system protects the

environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet

government emission standards. The OBD-II system also assists your

authorized dealer in properly servicing your vehicle. When the

indicator illuminates, the OBD-II system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause the

indicator to illuminate.

Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—the engine may misfire or run

poorly.

3. The fuel cap may not have been securely tightened. See Fuel filler

cap in this chapter.

4. Driving through deep water – the electrical system may be wet.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with good quality fuel, properly tightening the fuel cap or letting the

electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any

other temporary malfunctions present, the

indicator should stay off

the next time the engine is started. A driving cycle consists of a cold

engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving. No additional

vehicle service is required.

If the

indicator remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first

available opportunity. Although some malfunctions detected by the

OBD-II may not have symptoms that are apparent, continued driving

with the

indicator on can result in increased emissions, lower fuel

economy, reduced engine and transmission smoothness, and lead to more

costly repairs.
