Make sure to fuel the vehicle
with quality fuel. Poor fuel
quality causes the engine not to
run as efficiently as designed
and may cause: stalling
after start-up, stalling when the
vehicle is changed into gear,
mis ring, hesitation on
acceleration, or stumbling on
acceleration. These conditions
might go away once the engine is
warmed up.
If one or more of these conditions
occurs, change the fuel brand
used. It will require at least
one full tank of the proper fuel to
turn the light off.
SeeGasoline Octane on
page 5-5.
If none of the above have made the
light turn off, your dealer/retailer
can check the vehicle. The
dealer/retailer has the proper test
equipment and diagnostic tools to x
any mechanical or electrical
problems that might have
developed.Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs
Some state/provincial and local
governments have or might begin
programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on the vehicle.
Failure to pass this inspection could
prevent getting a vehicle
registration.
Here are some things to know to
help the vehicle pass an inspection:
The vehicle will not pass this
inspection if the check engine
light is on with the engine
running, or if the key is in the
ON/RUN and the light is not on.
The vehicle will not pass
this inspection if the OBD II
(on-board diagnostic) system
determines that critical emission
control systems have not
been completely diagnosed by
the system. The vehicle would be
considered not ready for
inspection. This can happen if
the battery has recently been
replaced or if the battery has rundown. The diagnostic system is
designed to evaluate critical
emission control systems during
normal driving. This can take
several days of routine driving. If
this has been done and the
vehicle still does not pass the
inspection for lack of OBD II
system readiness, your
dealer/retailer can prepare the
vehicle for inspection.

pressure is low. The engine can
