IMPORTANT: If you are driving the vehicle to perform a drive
cycle ALONE, please set the Status Beep On (See 3.7 System Setup).
By listening to the beep, you will learn when the monitors have run
and completed the diagnostic testing. NEVER try to drive and
operate the scan tool at the same time!
This function retrieves the real time data of emission-related
monitoring systems readiness status. Once the scan tool has
finished other operations, for example, clearing trouble codes, the
I/M Readiness Monitor Status program resets status of all the
monitors to “INC” condition. In order to set these monitors to a
Ready status, the vehicle must be driven through a complete drive
cycle. Times for reset vary depending on vehicle. Please refer to
your vehicle’s service manual for drive cycle information.
NOTE: When using this function, only the
ENTER/Exit
button is
available. The other buttons are disabled to prevent misoperation.
