As pre-check diagnostic tool
Prior to having a vehicle inspected for state emissions compliance, use this
function to check the readiness status.
1) While the scan tool is connected to the vehicle, select Ready Test from
Main Screen. Drive the car till the scan tool notifies you safely with
color LEDs and audible tone if your vehicle is ready to conduct state
emission test.
2) If the GREEN LED lights and two long beeps are heard, your vehicle is
ready and it should pass emissions testing.
3) If the RED LED lights, your vehicle is not ready and must be repaired
before an emissions test can be performed.
NOTE
1. If you are driving the vehicle to perform a drive cycle ALONE, set the
Status Beep On. The beep signifies that the monitors have run and the
diagnostics testing completed. NEVER drive and operate the scan tool
at the same time!
2. This function displays 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. The vehicle must be driven through a complete drive cycle to
set the monitors to Ready status. Times for reset vary by vehicle.
Please refer to your vehicle’s service manual for drive cycle
information.
3. In this function, only the ESC button is available. The other buttons are
disabled to prevent misoperation.
