Dodge 2009 Nitro - Manual (Page 374)

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.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use of genuine MOPAR
௡ parts for normal/scheduled
maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to en-
sure the designed performance. Damage or failures
caused by the use of non-MOPAR
௡ parts for maintenance
and repairs will not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
DEALER SERVICE

nel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service

any procedure yourself.

systems can result in civil penalties being assessed

motor vehicle. Only do service work for which you
have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If
you have any doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a competent me-
chanic.
