   This indicates there is a problem in one or more of the vehicle’s systems. The red LED is also used to show that DTCs are present. DTCs are shown on the Scan Tool’s display. In this case,  the MIL lamp on the vehicle’s instrument panel will light steady on.

3. Yellow LED
   This indicates there is a possible problem. A “Pending” DTC is present and/or some of the vehicle’s emission monitors have not run their
   diagnostic testing.

4. Green LED
   Indicates that engine systems are running normally (The number of monitors on the vehicle which are active and performing their diagnostic testing is within the allowed limit, and no DTCs are present).

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 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
  3. Catalyst
  5. O2 Sensor Heater
  7. Heated Catalyst| 2. O2 Sensors
  4. Evaporative System
  6. Secondary air
  8. A/C system
  ---|---

OBD2 Monitor Readiness Status
OBD2 systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s PCM 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 OBDII system has tested all the components and/or systems.
The powertrain 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 evaluated, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous 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.

OBD2 Definitions

• Powertrain Control Module (PCM ) – OBD2 terminology for the onboard computer that controls the engine and drives the 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 the 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 onboard 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. rive 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 OBD II 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, airflow, engine load, fuel pressure, fuel trim value, engine coolant temperature, ignition timing advance, or closed-loop status.

• Multi-language
  Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
  OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the onboard 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 the below example to illustrate the structure of digits:

1. System
   B = Body
   C = Chassis
   P = Powertrain
   U = Network

2. Code Type
   Generic = 0
   Manufacturer Specific = 1

3. Sub-Systems
   1 = Fuel and Air Metering
   2 = Fuel and Air Metering
   3 = Ignition System or Engine Misfire
   4 = Auxiliary Emission Controls
   5 = Vehicle Speed Control and Idle Controls
   6 = Computer Output Circuits
   7 = Transmission Controls
   8 = Transmission Controls

buttons to select a Read Codes and press the “OK” button to confirm. If there are DTC’s, the backlit
LCD will display the number of codes:

2. Press the “OK” button Monitor Status

CT (Current) 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.

PD (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.

PT (Permanent) DTC codes- These codes cause the control module to illuminate the malfunction indicator light (MIL) when an emission-related fault occurs. These DTCs cannot be cleared until it is confirmed that the problem is fixed.
2. Use the “UP or “DOWN” button to select Current, Pending, or Permanent codes from the Read Codes menu and press the“OK” button. See Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) heading in this manual.
Note: If no DTCs, a “The vehicle has no fault codes” message shows on the backlit LCD.
