PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass
an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.
For states that require an Inspection and Mainte-
nance (I/M), this check verifies the “Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not
on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II
system is ready for testing.

ONLY the correct type thermostat. Other designs may
result in unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze)

components should be inspected periodically. Refer to
“Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance
intervals.

Master Cylinder — Brake Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder immediately
if the brake system warning light indicates system fail-
ure.
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder when per-
forming underhood services.
Clean the top of the master cylinder area before removing
the cap. If necessary, add fluid to bring the fluid level up

voir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may
cause leaking in the system.
