GENERAL INFORMATION
OBD2 Readiness monitors
An important part of a vehicle’s OBD2 system is the Readiness Monitors, which are
indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated
by the OBD2 system. They are running periodic tests on specific systems and
components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits.
Currently, there are eleven OBD2 Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) defined by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported by
all vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle depends on the motor
vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.
• Continuous monitors – Some of the vehicle components or systems are
continuously tested by the vehicle’s OBD2 system, while others are tested
only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The continuously monitored
components listed below are always ready:
1. Misfire
2. Fuel System
3. Comprehensive Components (CCM)
Once the vehicle is running, the OBD2 system is continuously checking the above
components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire, and
monitoring fuel demands.
• Non-continuous monitors – Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions
and 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 System
5. O2 Sensor Heater 6. Secondary air
7. Heated Catalyst 8. A/C system

GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.)
OBD2 Monitor readiness status
OBD2 systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s PCM’s monitor system
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 OBD2 system. The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow inspectors
to determine if the vehicle’s OBD2 system has tested all the components and/or
systems.
The power-train 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
noncontinuous 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 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.
Audio tone
The audio tone could be configured according to the I/M Readiness Status. This
function is invaluable when working in bright areas where LED illumination alone is
not sufficient.
It is recommended to set the audio tone to Beep ON. For detailed setup
information, please refer to Key Beep Set in Menu Setup.
Note: The following audio tone description only works in Scan Tool mode.
Different audio tone with different LEDs will indicates different I/M Readiness
Status.
LED Audio Tone Beep Interval
Green LED Beep Off
Yellow LED Two short beeps 0.5 seconds
Red LED Two short beeps 0.5 seconds

GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.)
OBD2 Definitions
• Power-train control module (PCM) – OBD2 terminology for the on-board
computer that controls engine and drive train.
• 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 can not turn the MIL off until 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. They 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.
• OBD2 Drive cycle – A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides
conditions required to set all the readiness monitors applicable to the vehicle to
the “ready” condition. The purpose of completing an OBD2 drive cycle is to force
the vehicle to run its onboard diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle needs to
be performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCM’s memory or after the
battery has been disconnected. Running through a vehicle’s complete drive cycle
will set the readiness monitors so that future faults can be detected. Drive cycles
vary depending on the vehicle and the monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle
specific drive cycle, consult the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
• Freeze frame data – When an emissions related fault occurs, the OBD2
system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle operating
parameters to help in identifying the problem. This set of values is referred to as
Freeze Frame Data and may include important engine parameters such as engine
RPM, vehicle speed, air flow, engine load, fuel pressure, fuel trim value, engine
coolant temperature, ignition timing advance, or closed loop status.

MENU (cont.)
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC)
OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board
computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These
codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a
guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle. OBD2 Diagnostic
Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a
letter, identifies which control system sets the code. The other four characters, all
numbers, provide additional information on where the DTC originated and the
operating conditions that caused it to set. See below example (fig. 2) to illustrate
the structure of digits:
1. System
B = Body
C = Chassis
P = Power train

“hard codes” or “permanent codes”. These codes cause the control module to
illuminate the malfunction indicator light (MIL) when emission-related fault occurs.
Pending Codes are also referred to as “maturing codes” or “continuous monitor
codes”. They indicate problems that the control module has detected during the
current or last driving cycle but are not considered serious yet. Pending Codes will
not turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). If the fault does not occur within
a certain number of warm-up cycles, the code clears from memory.

Stored DTC codes- Are generated by
the current hardware failure. The current fault code(s) for the hardware failure
are generated by a continuous fault and can only be cleared if the hardware is
repaired.
Pending DTC codes- They indicate problems that the control module has
detected during the current or last driving cycle but are not considered serious
yet. Pending Codes will not turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) unless
the same problem is detected again. If the fault does not occur within a certain
number of warm-up cycles, the code clears from memory.
Permanent DTC codes- These codes cause the control module to illuminate the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) when emission-related fault occurs. These DTCs
cannot be cleared until it is confirmed that the problem is fixed.
3. View the DTCs and their definitions on the
TFT colour screen (1) (fig. 17). Press Enter/
Exit button (5) to return to previous screen.
Note: The control module number, sequence
of the DTCs, total number of codes detected
and type of codes (Generic or Manufacturer
specific, Stored or Pending codes) will be
observed on the upper right hand corner of
the display.
4. If more than one DTCs is found press the
Scroll button (7) to check all the codes.

OPERATION (cont.)
Diagnostic menu - Erase codes: This module can be used to clear DTCs in the
system. Erasing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes may allow the automotive scan
tool to delete not only the codes from the vehicle’s on-board computer, but also
“Freeze Frame” data and manufacturer specific enhanced data. Furthermore, the
I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all vehicle monitors is reset to Not Ready or Not
Complete status.
Note: Erasing codes does not mean that trouble codes in ECU have been
eliminated completely. As long as there is fault with the vehicle, the trouble codes
keeps on presenting. Ignition on engine off. Do not start the engine.
1. Use the Scroll button (7) to select Erase Codes and press Enter/Exit button (5) to
confirm (fig. 18).
2. If you do not want to proceed with erasing codes, use the Scroll button (7) to
select NO to exit (fig. 19). A message of "Command Cancelled!" appears. Wait
a few seconds or press any button to return to Diagnostic Menu.
WARNING! Do not erase the codes before the system has been checked
completely by a technician.
