indicate a problem that requires repair. Pending codes are referred to as
maturing codes that indicate intermittent faults. If the fault does not occur
within a certain number of drive cycles (depending on vehicle), the code
clears from memory. If a fault occurs a specific number of times, the code
matures into a DTC and the MIL illuminates or blinks. Permanent Codes are DTCs
that are “confirmed” and are retained in the non-volatile memory of the
computer until the appropriate monitor for each DTC has determined that the
malfunction is no longer present and is not commanding the MIL on. Permanent
DTC shall be stored in non-volatile memory and may not be erased by any

4.5 Read I/M Readiness Status Data
I/M Readiness option allows to view a snapshot of the operations for the emission system on OBDII/EOBD vehicles.
I/M Readiness is a useful function used to check if all monitors are OK or N/A. The vehicle’s computer performs tests on the emission system during normal driving conditions. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor has specific driving conditions and time required), the computer’s monitors decide if the vehicles emission system is working correctly.
When the monitor’s status is:
OK – vehicle was driven enough to complete the monitor. INC (Incomplete) – vehicle was not driven enough to complete the monitor. N/A (Not Applicable) – vehicle does not support that monitor.
There are two types of I/M Readiness tests:
Since DTCs Cleared – shows status of the monitors since the DTCs were last cleared. This Drive Cycle – shows status of monitors since the start of the current drive cycle.
Below is a list of abbreviations and names of OBD II monitors supported by the OBDII&Battery tester.

2. Colored LED and build-in beeper provide both visual and audible reminders
for emission check and DTCs. Below is the interpretation of the LED and build-
in beeper.
When the LED is :
Green – Indicates that engine systems are “OK” and working properly (the
number of Monitors equipped with the vehicle which have run and performed
their self-diagnostic testing is in the allowed range. MIL is off. ).No stored
and pending DTCs exist. The vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test.
Yellow – The tool finds a possible problem. It indicates the following two
conditions: (1) Pending DTCs exist. Please check the I/M Readiness test result
screen and use the Read Codes function to view detailed codes information. (2)
Some of the vehicle’s emission monitors have not working properly. If the I/M
Readiness screen shows no DTC (including pending DTC), but the Yellow LED is
still illuminated, it indicate a “Monitor Has Not Run” status.
Red- Indicates some problems exist with one or more of the vehicle’s system,
and the vehicle is not ready for an Emissions Test. As well there are DTCs
found. The MIL lamp on the vehicle’s instrument panel will light steady. The
problem that is causing the illumination of Red LED should be fixed before an
Emissions Test or driving the vehicle further.
The built-in beeper works with the colored LED simultaneous, as an assistance
to reflect the I/M Readiness test results:
Green – two long beeps. Yellow – short, long, short beeps. Red – four short
beeps.
