Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 1:  Ensure that you perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.
  2. 3:  This step identifies a first failure of a type B DTC. A DTC only appears on the I/M System Status display when the DTC becomes a MIL illuminating DTC. This occurs on the second failure of a type B DTC. A first failure of a type B DTC will not allow the I/M System Status to update to YES. Refer to Diagnostic Aids.
  3. 4:  This step helps identify any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test in the event the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in the service information under Conditions for Running the DTC.
  4. 5:  The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic test has run, not the outcome of the test. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
