2. YELLOW LED - Determine from the Code Retrieval Procedure
(page 17) which of the two possible conditions is causing the
yellow LED to light.
If a "PENDING" Diagnostic Trouble
Code is causing the yellow LED to
light, it is possible that the vehicle will
be allowed to be tested for emissions
and certified. Currently, most areas
(states / countries) will allow an
Emissions Test (Smog Check) to be
performed if the only code in the
vehicle's computer is a "PENDING"
Diagnostic Trouble Code.
If no running Monitors are causing the
yellow LED to light, then the issue of
the vehicle being ready for an
Emissions Test (Smog Check)
depends on the emissions regulations
and laws of your local area.
- Some areas require that all Monitors indicate a "Has Run"
status before they allow an Emissions Test (Smog Check) to
be performed. Other areas only require that some, but not
all, Monitors have run their self-diagnostic testing before an
Emissions Test (Smog Check) may be performed.
From the code retrieval procedure, determine the status of
each Monitor (a solid Monitor icon shows Monitor "Has Run"
status, a flashing Monitor icon indicates "Has Not Run"
status). Take this information to an emissions professional to
determine (based on your test results) if your vehicle is ready
for an Emissions Test (Smog Check).
3. RED LED - Indicates there is a problem with one or more of the
vehicle's systems. A vehicle displaying
a red LED is definitely not ready for an
Emissions Test (Smog Check). The red
LED is also an indication that there are
Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) present
(displayed on the Code Reader's
screen). The Multifunction Indicator
(Check Engine) Lamp on the vehicle's
instrument panel will light steady on.
The problem that is causing the red LED to light must be repaired
before an Emissions Test (Smog Check) can be performed. It is
also suggested that the vehicle be inspected/repaired before
driving the vehicle further.
If the Red LED was obtained, there is a definite problem present in
the system(s). In these cases, you have the following options.
OBD 2
Using Code Reader
I/M READINESS TESTING
