2013 LINCOLN MKZ obd-II

Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system warning
light or the temperature warning light,
fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke or
loss of engine power could indicate
that the emission control system is
not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged
exhaust system may allow exhaust to
enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or
improperly operating exhaust system
inspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized
changes to your vehicle or engine. By
law, vehicle owners and anyone who
manufactures, repairs, services, sells,
leases, trades vehicles, or supervises
a fleet of vehicles are not permitted
to intentionally remove an emission
control device or prevent it from
working. Information about your
vehicle
’s emission system is on the
Vehicle Emission Control Information
Decal located on or near the engine.

Please consult your warranty
information for complete details. On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
computer that monitors the engine
’s
emission control system. This system
is commonly known as the on-board
diagnostics system (OBD-II). The
OBD-II system protects the
environment by ensuring that your
vehicle continues to meet government
emission standards. The OBD-II
system also assists your authorized
dealer in properly servicing your
vehicle. When the service engine
soon indicator illuminates,
the OBD-II system has
detected a malfunction. Temporary
malfunctions may cause the service
engine soon indicator to illuminate.
Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel —the
engine may misfire or run poorly.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel —the engine may misfire or run
poorly.
3. The fuel fill inlet may not have been properly closed. See
Refueling (page 158).
4. Driving through deep water —the
electrical system may be wet.

Fuel and Refueling

These temporary malfunctions can
be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with good quality fuel, properly closing
the fuel fill inlet or letting the electrical
system dry out. After three driving
cycles without these or any other
temporary malfunctions present, the
service engine soon indicator should
stay off the next time the engine is
started. A driving cycle consists of a
cold engine startup followed by mixed
city/highway driving. No additional
vehicle service is required.
If the service engine soon indicator
remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.
Although some malfunctions
detected by the OBD-II may not have
symptoms that are apparent,
continued driving with the service
engine soon indicator on can result in
increased emissions, lower fuel
economy, reduced engine and
transmission smoothness, and lead
to more costly repairs.
Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
Testing
Some state/provincial and local
governments may have
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle.
Failure to pass this inspection could
prevent you from getting a vehicle
registration. If the service engine soon
indicator is on or the bulb
does not work, the vehicle
may need to be serviced. See
On-Board Diagnostics.
Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test
if the service engine soon indicator is
on or not working properly (bulb is
burned out), or if the OBD-II system
has determined that some of the
emission control systems have not
been properly checked. In this case,
the vehicle is considered not ready for
I/M testing.
If the vehicle ’s engine or transmission
has just been serviced, or the battery
has recently run down or been
replaced, the OBD-II system may
indicate that the vehicle is not ready
for I/M testing. To determine if the
vehicle is ready for I/M testing, turn
the ignition key to the on position for
15 seconds without cranking the
engine. If the service engine soon
indicator blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing; if the service engine soon
indicator stays on solid, it means that
the vehicle is ready for I/M testing.
The OBD-II system is designed to
check the emission control system
during normal driving. A complete
check may take several days. If the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, the
following driving cycle consisting of
mixed city and highway driving may
be performed:
