+On models equipped with air conditioner, checks should
be carried out while the air conditioner is ªOFFº.
+When measuring ªCOº percentage, insert probe more
than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail pipe.
+Turn off headlamps, heater blower, rear window defogger.
+On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, set
lighting switch to the 1st position to light only small
lamps.
+Keep front wheels pointed straight ahead.
+If engine stops immediately after starting or idle condition
is unstable, perform the following to initialize IACV-AAC
valve:
a)Stop engine and wait 9 seconds.
b)Turn ignition ªONº and wait 1 second.
c)Turn ignition ªOFFº and wait 9 seconds.
+Make sure the cooling fan has stopped.
