Retrieving I/M Readiness Status
I/M Readiness function is used to check the operations of the Emission
System on OBD2 compliant vehicles. It is an excellent function to use prior
to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program.
Some latest vehicle models may support two types of I/M Readiness tests:
A.
DTCs Cleared - indicates status of the monitors since the DTCs are
erased.
B.
This Drive Cycle —
indicates status of monitors since the beginning
of the current drive cycle.
An I/M Readiness Status result of “NO” does not necessarily indicate that
the vehicle being tested will fail the state I/M inspection. For some states,
one or more such monitors may be allowed to be “Not Ready
”
to pass the
emissions inspection.
•
“OK” ——Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has
completed its diagnostic testing.
•
“INC” — Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has not
completed its diagnostic testing.
•
“N/A” ——The monitor is not supported on that vehicle.
