PROGRAMS
In som e localities, it may be a legal requ irem ent to pass
an insp ection of you r vehicle’s emissions control system .
Failu re to pass could prevent vehicle registration.
After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can
determ ine if the fuel filler cap is possibly loose, improp -
erly installed , or damaged . A loose fuel filler cap message
will be displayed in the instru ment cluster. Tighten the
gas cap until a ЉclickingЉ sou nd is heard . This is an
ind ication that the gas cap is prop erly tightened . Press
the odometer reset button to turn the message off. If the
problem persists, the message will appear the next time
the vehicle is started . This might ind icate a damaged cap.
If the problem is detected twice in a row, the system will
turn on the Malfu nction Ind icator Light (MIL). Resolving
the problem will turn the MIL light off.
For states, which have an I/ M (Insp ection and
Maintenance) requ irem ent, this check verifies the
follow ing: the MIL (Malfu nction Ind icator Light)
is functioning and is not on when the engine is running,
and that the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system is read y
for testing.
Norm ally, the OBD system will be read y. The OBD
system may not be read y if you r vehicle was recently
serviced , if you recently had a dead battery, or a battery
rep lacem ent. If the OBD system shou ld be determ ined
not read y for the I/ M test, you r vehicle may fail the test.
