Engine Control System Obdii - Maserati GranTurismo Coupe Owner's Manual

Engine control system OBDII

This system continuously monitors the
components of the vehicle related to
emissions; it also warns the user about
the deterioration condition of the
components themselves, by means of
the warning light U on the
instrument panel.
The objective is the following:
– keep engine systems operating
efficiently
– indicate when a problem causes an
increase in emissions exceeding the
threshold established by federal
regulations
– indicate the need for replacement of
5
deteriorated components.
In addition, the system includes a
diagnostics connector that can be
interfaced with suitable instruments.
124 Use of the engine

turned to the MAR position, if the
warning light does not switch on or if
it switches on while driving, contact
your Authorized Maserati Dealer as
soon as possible.
WARNING: After the problem has been
eliminated, your Authorized Maserati
Dealer personnel is required to
perform tests of the system and if
