momentary tap of the COAST switch. Multiple
taps of the COAST switch will decrease your
vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each tap.
For example, if you are currently set at 65 mph
(104 km/h) and tap the COAST switch 5 times
your vehicle speed will decrease and set at
60 mph (96 km/h).

significantly drop speed when driving uphill,
especially with a heavy load. If the speed drops
more than 8 to 14 mph (15 - 25 km/h) the
automatic speed control will, by design, be
canceled. You may have to temporarily resume
manual speed control while driving up a steep
grade in order to maintain the speed you desire.

Circuit Breakers
[ER03100( M)01/96]
If you need to check a circuit breaker that is on
the fuse panel, locate the circuit breaker
according to the instructions on the charts given
earlier in this chapter.
*
[ER03150( ALL)01/96]
Since you need diagnostic equipment to check
whether a circuit breaker works and such
equipment comes with instructions, we do not
discuss how to check circuit breakers.
*
[ER03200( ALL)01/96]
However, you should know that the circuit
breakers will reset themselves and allow the
electrical parts to work again once the overload
on the circuit is removed. If the circuit breakers
continue to cut off electricity, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked.
*
[ER03250( ALL)01/96]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
Testing
*
[MC39825( ALL)01/96]
In some localities it may become a legal
requirement to pass an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the
vehicle's powertrain system or its battery has
just been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to
a not ready for I/M testing condition. To
prepare for I/M testing, the law specifies a
ªneed for additional mixed city and highway
driving to complete the checkº of the OBD II
system. As soon as all of the OBD II system
checks are successfully completed, the OBD II
system is set to the ready condition. The amount
of driving required to reach the ready condition
varies with individual driving patterns. To
complete this requirement in the minimum
amount of time, refer to the OBD II Drive Cycle
defined below. If the vehicle owner cannot or
does not want to do the additional driving
required by law, a service center can perform
this drive cycle as it would any other type of
repair work.
*
[MC39850( ALL)01/96]
OBD II Drive Cycle
*
[MC39875( ALL)01/96]
The engine must be warmed up and at
operating temperature before proceeding with
the drive modes of the following OBD II Drive
Cycle.

1. Start the engine. Drive or idle (in neutral)
the vehicle for 4 minutes.

2. Idle the vehicle in drive (neutral for manual
transmission) for 40 seconds.
