2.3.1 I/M Readiness
Purpose of the I/M Readiness test is to display current information on emissions-related
systems. These systems are required by OBD II regulation to be monitored for emissions
testing. OBD II I/M Readiness Monitors are strategies designed to test operations of emission
related systems or components. The computer module uses these monitors to check for
correct operations of system and components as well as out of range values. The computer
module may perform a special test on a system or component to complete the monitor. It
may be required to operate vehicle under certain conditions in order to perform an accurate
test. If computer module loses power, or codes are erased, monitors may be cleared.
The scan tool displays the state of vehicle OBD II Monitors.
To enter I/M Readiness viewing mode, select I/M Readiness from OBD II Function List
and press ENTER.
A list of On-Board system readiness tests and
their status will be displayed. Use vehicle service
manuals for more information on emission-
related monitors and their status.
Below are examples of completed versus not
