malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then goes off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.

prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.

codes are not set, you may be requested to return at
a later date to complete the test.
If the testing facility determines the readiness codes
