*
[IS13525(R)03/96]
Some vehicles are equipped with an engine speed (RPM)
limiting device contained within the powertrain control module
(PCM). The purpose of this device is to maintain peak engine
speed (RPM) below a specified limit. This feature is only
evident on automatic transmission vehicles when shifting
manually (1, 2, D) and on all manual transmission units. (Engine
speed limits may vary based on engine displacement.)
*
[IS13550(R)03/96]
If you are experiencing an ªengine cut-outº condition at high
speeds, it may be the result of this limiting device. It is a
normal condition and can be avoided by reducing
vehicle/engine speed.

The following charts tell you which fuses protect each electrical
part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows, all the parts of your
vehicle that use that circuit will not work.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Testing
*
[MC42470(R)04/96]
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 your check engine light is on, reference the
check engine light description under theWarning Lights and
Gaugessection. Your vehicle may not pass an I/M test with the
check engine light on. 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,
additional city and highway driving is necessary to complete the
check of the OBD II system.
*
[MC43000(R)05/96]
The driving modes required to reach the ready condition consist
of a minimum of 30 minutes of city and highway driving as
described below:
[MC43100(R)03/96]
n
20 minutes of driving in stop and go city-type traffic with at
least four (4) idle periods.
*
[MC43200(R)03/96]
n
10 minutes of driving on an expressway or highway
[MC43300(R)03/96]
Before completing the above driving modes, the engine must be
warmed up and operating temperature. Once started, the vehicle
must not be turned off during the above driving modes. If the
vehicle owner is unable to meet the I/M requirements by using
these driving patterns, an authorized service center can perform
a detailed OBD II Drive Cycle as it would any other type of
repair work.
