Description

The purpose of the I/M Complete System Set Procedure is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute all of the I/M readiness diagnostics, and 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 below 30°C (86°F).

•	The intake air temperature (IAT) is below 30°C (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 ¼ and ¾.

•	The fuel ethanol content is less than 11 percent.

Diagnostic Aids

Important: Some diagnostic tests may not run if the fuel ethanol content is too high. Refer to the specific "Conditions for Running" for the ethanol percentage for any test that does not run.

Rough road conditions may prevent some of the tests from running. Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may prevent tests such as heated oxygen (HO2S) sensor heater and 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.

If the vehicle has recently run, start this procedure at step 3. This will allow the tests that require the engine at operating temperature to run. Using this method allows shorter cool down periods if the tests requiring a cold start do not initiate.

The scan tool can be used 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, it is not necessary to continue with the enable conditions and testing can advance to the next step.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

Make sure you perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.

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 O2S heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria.

The engine control module considers the engine to be cold if the following conditions are met:

•	The engine coolant temperature (ECT) less than 30°C (86°F)

•	The ECT and IAT are within 8°C (14°F) of each other at start up

This step is to run the EVAP, secondary air injection (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.

This step is to run the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tests. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tests are run during a gradual deceleration with a closed throttle. The vehicle speed is required in order to maintain a high, steady manifold absolute pressure (MAP) signal.

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.

Perform the individual system test for any of the systems that do not update to YES.

The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not what the outcome of the test was. If any emission related diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.

Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check

Important: Whenever the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the HO2S heaters. After verifying the enable criteria, turn OFF the ignition for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sensors to cool before continuing with the test. Once the engine is started, DO NOT turn the engine OFF for the remaining portion of the set procedure.

Preprogram the scan tool with the vehicle information before the ignition is turned ON.
Ensure the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running specified in the supporting text.
Turn OFF all of the accessories, e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.
Set the vehicle parking brake.
Verify the transmission is in Park for automatic transmissions and Neutral for manual transmissions.
Start the engine and allow the engine to idle.
Allow the engine to idle for the specified time.

Is the action complete?

2 minutes

Go to Step 3

Caution: Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.

In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions:

Acceleration at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature. This may be up to 8-10 minutes depending on the start up coolant temperature.
Continued operation under these conditions for an additional 6 minutes.

Is the action complete?

Go to Step 4

In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions:

Vehicle speed reduced to 72 km/h (45 mph) with this speed maintained for one additional minute.
Four decelerations of 25 seconds each from 72 km/h (45 mph) while the following criteria is maintained:

•	The throttle is closed

•	NO brake application on either manual or automatic transmission

•	NO clutch actuation on a manual transmission

•	NO manual downshift

•	The vehicle speed remains above 40 km/h (25 mph)

•	After each deceleration period, vehicle is returned to 72 km/h (45 mph) under part throttle acceleration and speed is maintained for 15 seconds.

Is the action complete?

Go to Step 5

In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions:

Acceleration at part throttle to 75-89 km/h (45-55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 minutes.
Deceleration to 0 km/h (0 mph).
Engine idling for 2 minutes while the following criteria is maintained:

•	Service brake depressed

•	Automatic transmission in drive

•	Manual transmission in neutral with the clutch pedal depressed

Is the action complete?

Go to Step 6

Observe the I/M System Status display with a scan tool.

Did all of the I/M System Status indicators update to YES?

Go to Step 7

Go to the I/M System Set Procedure for the indicated systems

Observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display with a scan tool.

Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set?
