Indicator Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not on when

the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is

ready for testing.

Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II

system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently

serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replace-

ment. If the OBD II system should be determined not

ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.

Your vehicle has a simple ignition key-actuated test,

which you can use prior to going to the test station. To

check if your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready, you must

do the following:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not

crank or start the engine.

2. If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start

this test over.

3. As soon as you turn the ignition switch to the ON

position, you will see the MIL symbol come on as part

of a normal bulb check.

4. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will

happen:

• The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then

return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF

the ignition or start the engine. This means that your

vehicle’s OBD II system is not ready and you should

not proceed to the I/M station.

• The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully

illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the

engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system

is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see your

authorized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was

recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement,
