The  powertrain  control  module  (PCM)  sets  a  monitor  to  “Ready” or 
“Complete”  after an  appropriate  drive  cycle has  been  performed.  The 
drive  cycle  that  enables a  monitor and  sets  readiness  codes to  “ready” 
varies  for  each  individual  monitor. Once  a  monitor is  set  as  “Ready” or 
“Complete”, it  will  remain  in  this  state.  A  number  of  factors, including 
erasing  of diagnostic  trouble  codes (DTCs)  with  a scan  tool or  a 
disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors being set to “not 
ready”.  Since  the  three  continuous  monitors  are  constantly evaluating, 
they will be  reported as “Ready” all  of  the time. If  testing of a particular 
supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the  monitor 
status will be reported as  “Not Complete” or “Not Ready.” 

In  order  for  the  OBD  monitor system to  become  ready,  the  vehicle 
should  be  driven under  a  variety of  normal  operating conditions. These 
operating  conditions  may  include  a  mix  of  highway  driving and  stop 
and  go,  city type  driving,  and  at  least  one  overnight-off period.  For 
specific  information on  getting  your  vehicle’s  OBD  monitor  system 
ready, please consult your vehicle owner’s manual. 

 

2.6   OBD II Terminology

 

Powertrain  Control  Module  (PCM)  - 

OBDII  terminology  for  the on-

board computer that controls engine and drivetrain. 

Malfunction  Indicator  Light  (MIL)  - 

Malfunction  Indicator  Light 

(Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the 
instrument panel. It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that 
there  is  a  problem  with  one  or  more  of  vehicle's systems  and  may 
cause emissions to exceed federal standards. If the MIL illuminates with 
a  steady  light,  it  indicates that  a  problem  has been  detected and  the 
vehicle  should  be  serviced  as  soon  as  possible.  Under  certain 
conditions, the dashboard light will blink or flash. This indicates a severe 
problem  and  flashing  is  intended  to  discourage vehicle  operation.  The 
vehicle  on-board  diagnostic  system  cannot turn  the  MIL  off  until  the 
necessary repairs are completed or the condition no longer exists. 

DTC

--Diagnostic  Trouble  Codes  (DTC)  that  identify  which  section of 

the emission control system has malfunctioned. 

Enabling  criteria 

-  (Also  termed  Enabling  Conditions).  These  are  the 

vehicle-specific  events or conditions  that  must  occur within  the engine 
before  the  various  monitors  will  set,  or  run. Some  monitors require  the 
vehicle  to  follow  a  prescribed  “drive  cycle”  routine  as part  of  the 
enabling  criteria.  Drive  cycles  vary  among  vehicles  and for  each 
monitor in any particular vehicle.
