Key On Engine Running (KOEO) Self-test

This test checks sensors under actual operating conditions and at normal operating temperature. Any faults must be present at time of test to be detected.

NOTE: If engine will not start, perform Test A.

Deactivate the self-test. Start and run engine at more than 2000 RPM for 2 minutes. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds. Activate self-test. Start engine. Test will proceed with Engine ID code, Dynamic Response code and Engine Running On Demand Service codes. If a 10 or 1 pulse occurs during Dynamic Response code, open throttle wide open momentarily. Record codes and proceed as follows:
