MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 263 until you turn OFF the ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station. b. The CHECK ENGINE light will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station. If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready. Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready or not ready, if the CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated during normal vehicle operation, you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the CHECK ENGINE light is on with the engine running. REPLACEMENT PARTS Use of genuine Mopar௡ parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to ensure the designed performance. Damage or failures caused by the use of non-Mopar௡ parts for maintenance and repairs will not be covered by the warranty offered by DaimlerChrysler Corporation. AUTHORIZED DEALER SERVICE Your authorized dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner. Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these manuals before attempting any procedure yourself. 7
