WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute I/M readiness diagnostics for the Evaporative (EVAP) emission system. The test may be used to set the I/M System Status indicators to YES. Service Bay Tests are included on the scan tool for some systems depending upon vehicle make and model. The test is designed to allow the EVAP Diagnostic Tests to run in service bay conditions. Ensure that the vehicle meets the requirements listed in Conditions for Running before performing either EVAP System Test. Failure to meet the necessary requirements may produce inaccurate test results.
