How to Prepare Your Vehicle for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Testing
*
[MC39825(FM)04/96]
In some localities it may become a legal
requirement to pass an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the
vehicle’s powertrain system or its battery has
just been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to
a not ready for I/M testing condition. To
prepare for I/M testing, the law specifies that
additional city and highway driving is necessary
to complete the check of the OBD II system.
[MC39830(FM)05/96]
The driving modes required to reach the ready
condition consist of a minimum of 30 minutes
city and highway driving as described below:
[MC39835(FM)05/96]
At least 20 minutes driving in stop and go, city
type traffic with at least four idle periods.
[MC39840(FM)05/96]
At least 10 minutes of driving on an expressway
or highway.
[MC39845(FM)05/96]
Before completing the above driving modes, the
engine must be warmed up and at operating
temperature. Once started, the vehicle must not
be turned off during these driving modes.
