(I/M) testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will stay on until the
engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no malfunctions are present.
However, if after 15 seconds the service engine soon light blinks eight
times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See the

diagnostics system (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. SeeOn-board
Diagnostics (OBD-II)in theFuel and Refuelingchapter. If the light is
blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic
converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately by your
authorized dealer.

temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel

causing a fire.
