problem #1

Escape XLT 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,994 miles

My SUV is not comply the following test which mention in the owner manual.

Service engine soon: The service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the on position to check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for inspection/maintenance (I/M) testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will stay on until the engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no malfunctions are present. However, if after 15 seconds the service engine soon light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See the Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

from the beginning I am complaining this fault but dealer is saying it is normal and whatever book say it is not for your SUV.

Should I believe this answer?
