      HINT: 

      When performing a 2 mode test (with the engine idling/running at 2500 rpm), the measurement procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.

      If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.

      1. Check for DTCs.
      2. See the following table for possible causes, then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
