engine system components require the vehicle to be operated under specific
conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-continuous
monitors and are listed below:
1) EGR System
2) O2 Sensors
3) Catalyst
4) Evaporative
5) O2 Sensor Heater
6) Secondary air Injec
7) Heated Catalyst

OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the
has completed testing on each component. Components that have been tested will be
reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have been tested by the OBD II
system. The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow inspectors to determine
if the vehicle’s OBD II system has tested all the components and/or systems.
T
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 code
reader 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.”

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
