Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diag\
nostic system.
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the
emissions testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnec\
ted.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes \
off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes \
are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle emissions tested before the rea\
diness codes
are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1.

Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2.


Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3.


Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°\
C and 3
5°C).
4.

Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5.


Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral (manual transmission). Incre\
ase
the
engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6.

Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7.


Select a nearby
, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the \
highway with
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear (manual transmission). Do not u\
se cruise
control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the a\
ccelerator
pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for
a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for at le\
ast 30
seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8.

Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic\
conditions

allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9.

Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set\
again
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If an emissions testing facility determines that the readiness codes are\
not

set, you
may be requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see \
your dealer.
