General Information

1.1 On- Board Diagnositcs (OBDII)
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBD I) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic  system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed.
This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called “OBDII”. The OBDII system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD |I system tums on a waming lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically by the phrase of “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon”.
The system will also store important information about the detected malfunction so that a technician can accurately find and fix the problem. Here below follow three pieces of such valuable information:

1. Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded “on” or “off”;
2. Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;
3. Readiness Monitor status.

1.2 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The DLC is usually locater 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the  driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not locater under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the sahtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found,  refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

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 code reader.

There are two ways to retrieve I/M Readiness Status data:

• One-click I/M readiness key
• Typical way: select I/M Readiness from Diagnostic Menu

NOTE

• To review I/M Readiness status, make sure that the ignition key is switched to ON with the engine off.
• Not all monitors are supported by all vehicles

To retrieve I/M Readiness Status data by one-click I/M readiness key:

1. Press the One-Click I/M Readiness Key on the keypad and the following screen displays.
   

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 DCs 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 lignt 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.

NOTE
The built-in beeper which makes different tones corresponding to different LED indicators is invaluable when the test is performed while driving or in bright areas where LED illumination may not be visible.

To retrieve I/M Readiness Status data by typical way:

1. Scroll with UP/DOWN key to highlight I/M Readiness from Diagnostic Menu and press the ENTER key. If vehicle supports both types of monitors, a screen for monitor type selection displays. Select a monitor type and press the ENTER key.

2. If thevehicle is tested supports both types monitors, following screen displays

3. Depending on readinesstest, one of these 2 screens will be present, Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through data. Press the BACK key to exit.

Or

4.6 On-Board Monitor Test
The On-Board Monitor Test function is useful after servicing or after clearing a vehicle ECU’s memory.
