Poor Vehicle Maintenance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Reno, 2008 Suzuki Forenza, 2007 Suzuki Reno, and 2007 Suzuki Forenza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The sensitivity of OBD II diagnostics will cause the MIL to turn ON if the vehicle is not maintained properly. Restricted air filters, fuel filters and crankcase deposits due to lack of oil changes or improper oil viscosity can trigger actual vehicle faults that were not previously monitored prior to OBD II. Poor vehicle maintenance can not be classified as a "non-vehicle fault," but with the sensitivity of OBD II diagnostics, vehicle maintenance schedules must be more closely followed.
