6. Ready Test
This function can be used as a convenient readiness
test
tool by automotive technicians to determine if the tested
vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test. By visual and audible
indication, you will learn a vehicle’s monitors readiness.
6.1 General Information
Repairs to the emissions-control systems of a 1996 or newer
vehicle cause the vehicle's computer (ECU) memory to be
cleared. The vehicle must go through a drive cycle to allow
the ECU to perform a series of tests to ensure that the repair
was successful, and before a state mandated Emissions Test
can be conducted. But how will you know when it is ready?
6.2 Ready Test Application
The purpose of this function is to indicate which of the
vehicle's monitors have run and completed their diagnosis
and testing, and which ones have not yet run and completed
testing and diagnosis of their designated sections of the
vehicle's emission system. All data shows on one screen,
which provides a simple profile of the vehicle at a glance,
saving diagnosis time and improving technician productivity.
• Use the Up/Down scroll button and Left/Right scroll
button to select Ready Test from the Main Screen
(See Figure 3.1), and press the OK button.
