Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2013 GMC Yukon XL, 2013 GMC Yukon, 2013 Chevrolet Suburban, 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche, and 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The I/M System Status display provides an indication of when the control module has completed the required tests. This does not necessarily mean that the test has passed, only that a decision was made. If the diagnostic fails, a DTC will indicate the failure. If a failure indication is present for a DTC associated with one of the I/M regulated systems, it may prevent other required tests from running. For example, a DTC for the control circuit of the EVAP purge solenoid may not be listed in the Inspection/Maintenance System DTC Table because it is a continuous test. If this DTC is set, the Active Tests for the EVAP system may not run.

The I/M System Status information may be useful for a technician to determine if diagnostics have run when verifying repairs.
