Information
Emissions Testing
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle uses “readiness codes,” as part of its onboard self diagnostic system.
Some states refer to these codes during te sting to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly.
The codes may not be read if you go thro ugh the testing just after the battery has
gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, tu rn the ignition switch to ON
w*1, without starting the
engine. The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then
goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are
not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle te sted before the readiness codes are ready,
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the en gine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touc hing the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in
P. Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there
until the temperature gauge rises to at l east 1/4 of the scale (about 3 minutes).
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
*1: Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button
instead of an ignition switch.
1 Testing of Readiness Codes
The readiness codes are eras ed when the battery is
disconnected, and set again on ly after several days of
driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determ ines that the readiness
codes are not set, you may be requested to return at
a later date to complete the test.
If the testing facility dete rmines the readiness codes
are still not set, see a dealer.
