3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20
seconds.

codes are not set, you may be requested to return at
a later date to complete the test.
If the testing facility determines the readiness codes
