Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Complete System Set Procedure

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Complete System Set Procedure is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute all of the I/M readiness diagnostics, and to complete the trips for those particular diagnostics. When all diagnostic tests are completed, the I/M System Status indicators are set to YES. Perform this test when more than one or all of the I/M System Status indicators are set to NO.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING

Cold Start
- The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa.
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F).
- The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F).
- The difference between the IAT and the ECT is 8°C (14°F) or less.
- The battery voltage is between 10-18 volts.
- The fuel level is between 15-85 percent.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Rough road conditions may prevent some of the tests from running. Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may prevent tests such as for the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater and the evaporative emission (EVAP) system from initiating. If a step is interrupted before completion, perform the remaining portion of the set procedures. Any portion of the set procedure that requires the engine at operating temperature may be repeated. This allows most of the diagnostics to run and the remaining tests can be performed using the individual System Set Procedures.

The scan tool can be used in order to monitor each of the I/M System Status indicators during the I/M Complete System Set Procedure. When all of the indicators for a test step have updated to YES, testing can move on to the next step even if the remaining portion of the test is not complete. For example, step 3 is designed to run the EVAP, secondary air injection (AIR), and HO2S tests. The procedure instructs the technician to operate the vehicle in the enable conditions for 6 minutes. If all 3 tests have updated to YES within 4 minutes, you do not need to continue with the enable conditions and testing can advance to the next step.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-5:

Step 6:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step is to run the HO2S heater tests and initiate the EVAP System Test. Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria.
3. This step is to run the EVAP, the AIR and the oxygen sensor tests. The EVAP test begins once the engine coolant reaches a calibrated temperature. The AIR test, if equipped, begins shortly after Closed Loop and the indicated speed is achieved. The oxygen sensor tests begin once the engine is at operating temperature, in Closed Loop Fuel Control, and a calibrated amount of time has elapsed.
4. This step is to run the Catalyst Tests. This test runs during the idle period immediately following a cruise period that meets a minimum calibrated RPM and time period.
