Fuel and Refueling Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Testing Some state/provincial and local governments may have Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. If the service engine soon indicator is on or the bulb does not work, you may need to have the vehicle serviced. See On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II). Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if the service engine soon indicator is on or not working properly (bulb is burned out), or if the OBD-II system has determined that some of the emission control systems have not been properly checked. In this case, your vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. If the vehicle's engine or transmission has just been serviced, or the battery has recently run down or been replaced, the OBD-II system may indicate that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M testing, turn the ignition key to the on position for 15 seconds without cranking the engine. If the service engine soon indicator blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if the service engine soon indicator stays on solid, it means that the vehicle is ready for I/M testing. The OBD-II system monitors the emission control system during normal driving. A complete check may take several days. If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, you may need to perform the following driving cycle consisting of mixed city and highway driving: Drive on an expressway or highway for a steady 15 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30-second 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. If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing, you will have to repeat the above driving cycle. 138 MKS (), enUSA

Readiness for

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)

Testing

Some state/provincial and local

governments may have

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to

inspect the emission control equipment on

your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection

could prevent you from getting a vehicle

registration.

If the service engine soon indicator

is on or the bulb does not work, you

may need to have the vehicle

serviced. See On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II).

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if the

service engine soon indicator is on or not

working properly (bulb is burned out), or if

the OBD-II system has determined that some

of the emission control systems have not

been properly checked. In this case, your

vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.

If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has just

been serviced, or the battery has recently run

down or been replaced, the OBD-II system

may indicate that the vehicle is not ready for

I/M testing. To determine if the vehicle is

ready for I/M testing, turn the ignition key to

the on position for 15 seconds without

cranking the engine. If the service engine soon

indicator blinks eight times, it means that the

vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if the

service engine soon indicator stays on solid,

it means that the vehicle is ready for I/M

testing.

The OBD-II system monitors the emission

control system during normal driving. A

complete check may take several days. If the

vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, you may

need to perform the following driving cycle

consisting of mixed city and highway driving:

Drive on an expressway or highway for a

steady 15 minutes, followed by 20 minutes

of stop-and-go driving with at least four

30-second 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. If the vehicle is still not

ready for I/M testing, you will have to repeat

the above driving cycle.
