FOLDING WINDSHIELD

CAUTION!

Lowering of the windshield is NOT recommended in
vehicles equipped with a Power Sliding Top. Damage
will occur to the top as well as the header seal.

The fold-down windshield on your vehicle is a structural
element that can provide some protection in some acci-
dents. The windshield also provides some protection
against weather, road debris and intrusion of small
branches and other objects.

Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down, as you lose the protection this structural element
can provide.

If required for certain off-road uses, the windshield can
be folded down. However, the protection afforded by the
windshield is then lost. If you fold down the windshield,
drive slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the
speed of the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h),
with low range operation preferred if you are driving
off-road with the windshield folded down.

Raise the windshield as soon as the task that required
its removal is completed and before you return to
on-road driving. Both you and your passengers should
wear seat belts at all times, on-road and off-road,
regardless of whether the windshield is raised or folded
down.

WARNING!

Carefully follow these warnings to help protect
against personal injury:

•

Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the wind-
shield down.

•

Do not drive your vehicle unless the windshield is
securely fastened, either up or down.

•

Eye protection, such as goggles, should be worn at
all times when the windshield is down.

•

Be sure that you carefully follow the instructions
for raising the windshield. Make sure that the fold-
ing windshield, windshield wipers, side bars, and
all associated hardware and fasteners are cor-
rectly and tightly assembled before driving your
vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may
prevent your vehicle from providing you and your
passengers’ protection in some accidents.

•

If you remove the doors, store them outside the
vehicle. In the event of an accident, a loose door
may cause personal injury.

CARGO AREA FEATURES

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks And Loops

The cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area floor,
should be used to safely secure loads when the vehicle
is moving.

WARNING!

•

Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child
seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a
tie-down could pull loose and allow the child seat
to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use
only the anchors provided for child seat tethers.

•

To help protect against personal injury, passengers
should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for load carrying pur-
poses only, not for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.

The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle han-
dling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

•

Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits
described on the label attached to the left door or
left door center pillar.

•

Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as
possible.

•

Place as much cargo as possible in front of the
rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the
vehicle to sway.

•

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of
the seatback. This could impair visibility or become
a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or
accident.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

NOTE:

Roof rack applications are for Hard Top models

ONLY

The load carried on the roof, when equipped with a lug-
gage rack, must not exceed 100 lb (45 kg), this
includes the weight of the crossbars, and it should be
uniformly distributed over the cargo area.

Crossbars should always be used whenever cargo is
placed on the roof rack. Check the straps frequently to
be sure that the load remains securely attached.

NOTE:

Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized dealer
through Mopar® parts.

External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on
the luggage rack, does not exceed the maximum
vehicle load capacity.

WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Anything improperly secured to the roof rack,
crossbars, or the roof itself can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting in collisions,
personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof
rack cautions when carrying anything on your roof or
roof rack.

5/22/2023 9:02:21 AM

CAUTION!

•

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity.
Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible
and appropriately secure the load and any protec-
tive layer placed between the load and the roof
surface.

•

Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
should be secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.

•

Place a blanket or other protection between the
surface of the roof and the load.

•

Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby
truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift. It is rec-
ommended to not carry large flat loads, such as
wood panels or surfboards, which may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

•

Load should always be secured to crossbars first,
with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple-
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratchet-
ing mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the
straps frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.

ELECTRIC MODE TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE

If Electric Drive mode is unavailable, the reason will
display for five seconds at start up. If your check engine
light comes on, see an authorized dealer immediately.

See the following information for the most common
reasons that the Electric mode would be unavailable:

Operator Choices that can inhibit Electric mode

•

Transmission in Manual Shift mode - Shift to Drive
to use Electric mode.

•

Heavily depressed accelerator pedal position,
requesting high power demand - Beyond the limits
of the electric drivetrain, will cause engine to run,
enabling the powertrain to produce its full combined
power available in Hybrid mode.

•

Sustained high speed operation in Electric mode -
Using the engine is more efficient for high speeds
than Electric drive.

•

Transfer case and drive mode selection - eSave
mode almost always runs the engine. Hybrid mode,
in 4WD Low, will also run the engine.

•

Electric range is depleted - You need to recharge to
enjoy Electric mode, or you can continue normally in
Hybrid.

•

Hood open (or a hood switch fault) - This is to pre-
vent unexpected engine starts with the hood open.

Thermal Protection that can inhibit Electric mode

•

Engine, transmission or engine starting belt too
cold - Some systems require warm up to function
properly if the outside temperature is below 32°F
(15°F in Electric Drive mode).

•

Electric cabin heating capacity limits (or electric
cabin heater fault) - Unlike Battery Electric Vehicles
(BEV's), the PHEV Wrangler can warm the cabin
more efficiently with engine heat when operating
below 15°F outside temperature.

•

HV battery, motors or contactors over temperature -
This is a temporary hardware protection feature.
Vehicle performance will resume once protection is
no longer required. If the vehicle performance is
accompanied with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp

(MIL)

, have the vehicle serviced at an autho-

rized dealership.

Component Protection that can inhibit Electric mode

•

HV battery undervoltage - Sustained EV operation at
high speed, especially with aftermarket wheels and
tires, can induce this.

•

Other electric propulsion system faults indicated by
a MIL - Please bring the vehicle to your dealership
for service.

•

Fuel And Oil Refresh mode - See the following
section.

Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode

Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for extended
periods of time without running the gas engine, the fuel
within the vehicle’s fuel tank can become stale or the
engine oil’s lubricating properties can be reduced. To
prevent engine and/or fuel system damage due to stale
fuel, as well as maintaining internal engine lubrication,
this vehicle is equipped with a Fuel and Oil Refresh
mode.

The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel and Oil
Refresh mode to minimize potential for stale fuel, and
to ensure lubrication of internal engine components.
When operating in this mode, the gas engine will run to
provide vehicle propulsion (electric only operation is
inhibited). A message will be displayed in the instru-
ment cluster whenever Fuel and Oil Refresh mode is
active.

The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh mode when fuel and lubrication conditions
have been satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil
Refresh mode, due to fuel which has been in the fuel
tank for a long period of time (becoming stale fuel), the

engine will run whenever the vehicle is operational (no
electric only operation) until the low fuel level warning is
activated. It is also possible to exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh mode sooner by adding a minimum of four gal-
lons (15 Liters) of new fuel to the vehicle’s fuel tank.

NOTE:

If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh mode to main-
tain engine lubrication, adding fuel will not exit the
mode sooner.

If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh mode to main-
tain engine lubrication properties, the engine may run
for a period of up to 2.5 hours when fully warm when-
ever the vehicle is operational (no electric only opera-
tion). If the vehicle is shut down before conditions to
exit the refresh mode have been satisfied, the engine
may run for additional time on subsequent trips. Oil
refresh may take significantly longer in freezing
temperatures.

NOTE:

•

Frequent short trips at low ambient temperature
conditions where the engine does not reach normal
operating temperatures are more likely to trigger the
lubrication based mode.

•

Electric drive mode will be temporarily unavailable
while the Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode (FORM) is
active. Do not attempt to return to Electric Mode
until the FORM cycle is complete.

CAUTION!

If the instrument cluster instructs you to change the
engine oil, do not reset the service indicator without
changing the oil. Engine damage may result.

DISPLAY AND MESSAGES

The instrument cluster display is located in the center
portion of the cluster and consist of multiple sections:

•

Main Screen — The inner ring of the display will illu-
minate in black under normal conditions, yellow for
noncritical warnings and red for critical warnings

•

Submenu Dots — Whenever there are submenus
available, the position within the submenus is
shown here

•

Reconfigurable Telltales/Information

•

Gear Selector Status (PRND)

•

Driver Interactive Display (Compass, Temp, Range to
Empty, Trip A, Trip B, Average Fuel Economy, Current
Fuel Economy and Time)

•

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Status — If Equipped

The instrument cluster display will normally display the
main menu or the screens of a selected feature of the
main menu. The main display area also displays pop-up
messages and warning or information messages. These
pop-up messages fall into several categories:

•

Five Second Stored Messages

When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for
five seconds and then returns to the previous
screen. Most of the messages of this type are then
stored (as long as the condition that activated it
remains active) and can be reviewed from the “Mes-
sages” main menu item. Examples of this message
type are “Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out” and
“Low Tire Pressure”.

•

Unstored Messages

This message type is displayed indefinitely or until
the condition that activated the message is cleared.
Examples of this message type are “Turn Signal On”
(if a turn signal is left on) and “Lights On” (if driver
leaves the vehicle with the lights on).

•

Unstored Messages Until RUN

These messages deal primarily with the Remote
Start feature. This message type is displayed until
the ignition is in the RUN state. Examples of this
message type are “Remote Start Canceled - Door
Ajar” and “Press Brake Pedal and Push Button to
Start”.

•

Five Second Unstored Messages

When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for
five seconds and then returns to the previous
screen. An example of this message type is
“Automatic High Beams On”.

BATTERY SAVER ON/BATTERY
SAVER MODE MESSAGE —
ELECTRICAL LOAD REDUCTION
ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED

This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sen-
sor (IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electri-
cal system and status of the vehicle battery.

In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure,
or the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, elec-
trical load reduction actions will take place to extend
the driving time and distance of the vehicle. This is
done by reducing power to or turning off non-essential
electrical loads.

Load reduction is only active when the engine is run-
ning. It will display a message if there is a risk of battery
depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due
to lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the
current drive cycle.

When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery
Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the
instrument cluster display.

These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low
state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge
at a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.

5/22/2023 9:02:21 AM

NOTE:

•

The charging system is independent from load
reduction. The charging system performs a diagnos-
tic on the charging system continuously.

•

If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indi-
cate a problem with the charging system

page 134.

The following are electrical loads that may be switched
off (if equipped), and vehicle functions which can be
affected by load reduction:

•

Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel

•

Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors

•

HVAC System

•

150W Power Inverter System

•

Audio and Telematics System

Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of
the following conditions:

•

The charging system cannot deliver enough electri-
cal power to the vehicle system because the electri-
cal loads are larger than the capability of the charg-
ing system. The charging system is still functioning
properly.

•

Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g.
HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights,
overloaded power outlets +12 Volt, 150W, USB
ports) during certain driving conditions (city driving,
towing, frequent stopping).

•

Installing options like additional lights, upfitter elec-
trical accessories, audio systems, alarms and simi-
lar devices.

•

Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long
parking periods).

•

The vehicle was parked for an extended period of
time (weeks, months).

•

The battery was recently replaced and was not
charged completely.

•

The battery was discharged by an electrical load left
on when the vehicle was parked.

•

The battery was used for an extended period with
the engine not running to supply radio, lights, char-
gers, +12 Volt portable appliances like vacuum
cleaners, game consoles and similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction action
message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery
Saver Mode”)

During a trip:

•

Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:

○

Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)

○

Check what may be plugged in to power outlets
+12 Volt, 150W, USB ports

○

Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)

○

Check the audio settings (volume)

After a trip:

•

Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed
(additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories,
audio systems, alarms) and review specifications if
any (load and Ignition Off Draw currents).

•

Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving
time and parking time).

•

The vehicle should have service performed if the
message is still present during consecutive trips
and the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern
did not help to identify the cause.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the instru-
ment panel together with a dedicated message and/or
acoustic signal when applicable. These indications are
indicative and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which
you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a
failure indication. All active telltales will display first if
applicable. The system check menu may appear differ-
ent based upon equipment options and current vehicle
status. Some telltales are optional and may not appear.

RED WARNING LIGHTS

Air Bag Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a
fault with the air bag, and will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/

ON/RUN position. This light will illuminate with a single
chime when a fault with the air bag has been detected,
it will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light is not
on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid level and
parking brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the parking

brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System
reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has
been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark
on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible
brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-
Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until
the condition has been corrected. If the problem is
related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run
when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation
may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking
capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the
hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake
system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which
will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering
maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The
vehicle should have service performed, and the brake
fluid level checked.

If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is danger-
ous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will
take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a colli-
sion. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the
Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS
Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked
by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to
the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for
approximately two seconds. The light should then turn
off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault
is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the
light inspected by an authorized dealer.

The light also will turn on when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is applied.
It does not show the degree of brake application.

Battery Charge Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate when the
battery is not charging properly. If it stays on
while the engine is running, there may be a
malfunction with the charging system. Con-

tact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

This indicates a possible problem with the electrical
system or a related component.

Door Open Warning Light

This indicator will illuminate when a door is
ajar/open and not fully closed.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a single chime.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) Fault

Warning Light

This warning light will turn on when there's a
fault with the EPS system

page 167.

WARNING!

Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning

Light

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a
problem with the ETC system. If a problem is
detected while the vehicle is running, the light
will either stay on or flash depending on the

nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle
is safely and completely stopped and the transmission is
placed in the PARK (P) position. The light should turn off.
If the light remains on with the vehicle running, your
vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as possible.

NOTE:

This light may turn on if the accelerator and brake ped-
als are pressed at the same time.

If the light continues to flash when the vehicle is running,
immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or
ACC/ON/RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during starting, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning

Light

This warning light warns of an overheated
engine condition. If the engine coolant tem-
perature is too high, this indicator will illumi-
nate and a single chime will sound. If the

temperature reaches the upper limit, a continuous
chime will sound for four minutes or until the engine is
able to cool, whichever comes first.

If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and
stop the vehicle. If the Air Conditioning (A/C) system is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
(N) and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading
does not return to normal, turn the engine off immedi-
ately and call for service

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator

Warning Light (MIL)

The MIL is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic
System called OBD II that monitors engine
and automatic transmission control systems.
This warning light will illuminate when the

ignition is in the ON/RUN position before engine start.
If the bulb does not come on when turning the ignition
switch from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly.

Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,
poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light
stays on through several typical driving styles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.

When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert
serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of
power or severe catalytic converter damage. The
vehicle should be serviced by an authorized dealer as
soon as possible if this occurs.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as previously
referenced, can reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if

(Continued)

WARNING!

you drive slowly or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could
result in death or serious injury to the driver, occu-
pants or others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle control
system. It also could affect fuel economy and drive-
ability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.

Service 4WD Warning Light —

If Equipped

This warning light will illuminate to signal a
fault with the 4WD system. If the light stays

page 159.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a mes-
sage is displayed to indicate that the tire
pressure is lower than the recommended
value and/or that slow pressure loss is

occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.

Should one or more tires be in the condition previously
mentioned, the display will show the indications corre-
sponding to each tire.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as
handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,
avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a tire puncture
occurs, repair immediately using the dedicated tire
repair kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS mal-
function indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equip-
ment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning
have been established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement equip-
ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-
able. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is rec-
ommended that you take your vehicle to an autho-
rized dealer to have your sensor function checked.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated Onboard
Diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and trans-
mission control systems. When these systems are oper-
ating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent perfor-
mance and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions
well within current government regulations.

If any of these systems require service, the OBD II sys-
tem will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
It will also store diagnostic codes and other information
to assist your service technician in making repairs.

5/22/2023 9:02:22 AM

Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not
need towing, see an authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.

CAUTION!

•

Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause fur-
ther damage to the emission control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emissions tests can be
performed.

•

If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is running,

severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(OBD II) CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a connection
port to allow access to information related to the perfor-
mance of your emissions controls. Authorized service
technicians may need to access this information to
assist with the diagnosis and service of your vehicle
and emissions system

page 201.

WARNING!

•

ONLY an authorized service technician should con-
nect equipment to the OBD II connection port in order
to read the VIN, diagnose, or service your vehicle.

•

If unauthorized equipment is connected to the
OBD II connection port, such as a driver-behavior
tracking device, it may:

○

Be possible that vehicle systems, including safety
related systems, could be impaired or a loss of
vehicle control could occur that may result in an
accident involving serious injury or death.

(Continued)

WARNING!

○

Access, or allow others to access, information
stored in your vehicle systems, including per-
sonal information.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass
an inspection of your vehicle's emissions control sys-
tem. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is function-
ing and is not on when the engine is running,

and that the OBD II system is ready for testing.

The OBD II system may

not

be ready if your vehicle was

recently serviced, recently had a depleted battery or a
battery replacement. If the OBD II system should be
determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may
fail the test.

Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test, which you
can use prior to going to the test station. To check if your
vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the
following:

1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position, but do

not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start
this test over.

2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the ON

position, you will see the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) symbol come on as part of a normal bulb
check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things

will happen:

○

The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and
then return to being fully illuminated until you
turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This
means that your vehicle's OBD II system is

not

ready

and you should

not

proceed to the I/M

station.

○

The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully
illuminated until you place the ignition in the off
position or start the engine. This means that
your vehicle's OBD II system is

ready

and you

can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is

not ready,

you should see an

authorized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was
recently serviced or had a battery failure or replace-
ment, you may need to do nothing more than drive your
vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II
system to update. A recheck with the previously men-
tioned test routine may then indicate that the system is

now ready

Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is
ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal
vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced
before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail
your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine
running.
