Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
To meet government regulations and pro-mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module thatcontrols OBD functions stores various data(especially a
bout the exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable isdisconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunctionindicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine
light”) is ON.
