The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
that maintenance and repair be performed by a
dealer’s service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop. Records of regu‐
lar maintenance and repair work should be re‐
tained.
Socket for OBD Onboard
Diagnosis
CAUTION
The socket for Onboard Diagnosis is an
intricate component intended to be used in
conjunction with specialized equipment to
check the vehicle’s primary emissions system.
Improper use of the socket for Onboard Diag‐
nosis, or contact with the socket for Onboard
Diagnosis for other than its intended purpose,
can cause vehicle malfunctions and creates
risks of personal and property damage. Given
the foregoing, the manufacture of your vehicle
strongly recommends that access to the socket
for Onboard Diagnosis be limited to a dealer's
service center or another qualified service cen‐
ter or repair shop or other persons that have
the specialized training and equipment for pur‐
poses of properly utilizing the socket for On‐
board Diagnosis.◀
Primary components in the vehicle emissions
can be checked via the OBD socket using a de‐
vice.
Emissions
The warning lamps light up. The vehicle
is producing higher emissions. Further
driving at a moderate pace is possible.
Have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Under certain circumstances, one of the lamps
flashes or lights up continuously. This indicates
that there is excessive misfiring or a malfunc‐
tion in the engine. In this situation, decrease
the vehicle speed and immediately drive to a
dealer’s service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop. Serious engine
misfiring within a brief period can seriously
damage emission control components, in par‐
ticular the catalytic converter. In addition, the
mechanical engine components may become
damaged.
If the fuel filler cap is not properly tight‐
ened, the OBD system may conclude
that fuel vapor is escaping; this will
cause a display to light up. If the filler cap is
then tightened, the display should go out in a
few days.
