EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass
an inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system.
Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.
For states, which have an I/M (Inspection and
Maintenance) requirement, this check verifies the
MIL is functioning and is not on when the engine
is running, and that the OBD system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD system will be ready. The OBD
system maynotbe ready if your vehicle was recently
serviced, if you recently had a dead battery, or a battery
replacement. If the OBD system should be determined
not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.

²Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or 6 months, whichever

uled oil change is performed by someone other than your

²Check the windshield washer solvent and add if
required.
