Using the Code Reader

I/M READINESS TESTING

If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a Trip
Drive Cycle, ALWAYS have a second person help you.
One person should drive the vehicle while the other per-
son observes the Monitor icons on the Code Reader for
Monitor RUN status. Trying to drive and observe the
Code Reader at the same time is dangerous, and could
cause a serious traffic accident.

4. When a Monitor's Trip Drive Cycle is performed properly, the

Monitor icon on the Code Reader’s LCD display changes from
"flashing" to "solid,” indicating that the Monitor has run and finished
its diagnostic testing.

If, after the Monitor has run, the MIL on the vehicle's dash is not
lit, and no stored or pending codes associated with that particu-
lar Monitor are present in the vehicle's computer, the repair was
successful.

If, after the Monitor has run, the MIL on the vehicle's dash lights
and/or a DTC associated with that Monitor is present in the vehi-
cle's computer, the repair was unsuccessful. Refer to the vehi-
cle's service manual and recheck repair procedures.
