Cadillac catera 2001 User Manual

Some state/provincial and local governments have 
or may begin programs to inspect the emission 
control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass 
this inspection could prevent you from getting a 
vehicle registration.

Here are some things you need to know in order to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:

Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the 
CHECK ENGINE light is on or not working properly.

Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the 
OBD (on

-

board diagnostic) system determines that

critical emission control systems have not been
completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would
be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen
if you have recently replaced your battery or if your
battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed
to evaluate critical emission control systems during
normal driving. This may take several days of routine
driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does
not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system
readiness, see your dealer or qualified service center to
prepare the vehicle for inspection.

The light and gage tell you if there could be a problem
with the engine oil pressure.

The gage shows the engine oil pressure in pounds 
per square inch (psi). Canadian vehicles show 
pressure in kilopascals (kPa).
