Several states require that a vehicle pass On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system tests and I/M emission inspection in order to renew license plates. This is accomplished by viewing the I/M System Status display on scan tool. Using a scan tool, the technician can observe the I/M System Status in order to verify that vehicle meets the criteria that complies with the local area requirements.

This procedure satisfies enable criteria necessary to execute all monitor diagnostics, and complete trips for those particular diagnostics. When all diagnostic tests have been completed, I/M System Status indicators are set to YES. Perform this test when more than one or all I/M System Status indicators are set to NO.

Ensure vehicle meets the following conditions before performing procedure

The following DTCs are required to set system status to YES

  1. P0133/P0153, P0140, P1133/P1153 and P1134/P1154 - Oxygen Sensor
  2. P0135, P0141 and P0155 - Oxygen Sensor Heater
  3. P0401, P0404, P0405 and P1404 - EGR
