GENERAL INFORMATION
An Emission Systems Required Maintenance Chart for each truck model is listed on the following pages. The Emission Systems Required Maintenance Chart lists the items required to maintain the vehicle emission systems at levels determined by the Federal Government (Environmental Protection Agency). Refer to the appropriate Sections of the Engine Shop Manual and the Engine/Emission Diagnosis Manual for the Maintenance Procedures, which are related to the item listed on the maintenance schedule. Use these procedures to perform the required emission system maintenance items listed on the maintenance charts.
FIG. 1 - Typical Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal-Light Truck:
Maintenance service adjustments must conform to specifications contained in the Engine/Emissions Diagnosis Manual, to those listed in the Truck Performance Specifications Book or shown on the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal which is located on or near the engine (Fig. 1) or the emissions systems may become inoperative.
If an engine is equipped with a "Dura-Spark" ignition system and any high tension ignition wire was detached from a spark plug, the distributor cap or the coil to perform a maintenance operation, Silicone Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A, (ESA-MIC171-A) or
equivalent) must be applied to the boot before re-connection. Using a small clean screw driver, apply a thin layer of Silicone Dielectric Compound on the entire interior surface of the boot.
As a safety precaution, before starting the engine to perform maintenance, make sure the transmission selector is in Park (Automatic Transmission) or Neutral (Manual Transmission), the parking brake set and the wheels blocked.
