It mainly includes the following functions: 

1. Read Codes 

This  option  is  used  to  identify  which  section  of  the  emission  control  system  has 
malfunctioned. 

2. Erase Codes 

After reading the retrieved codes from the vehicle and certain repairs have been carried out, 
you  can  use  this  function  to  erase  the  codes  from  the  vehicle.  Before  performing  this 
function, please be sure the vehicle’s ignition key is in the ON position with the engine off. 

Notes:

 

 

Before performing this function, make sure to retrieve and record the trouble codes. 

 

After clearing, you should retrieve trouble codes once more or turn ignition on and retrieve codes 

again.  If  there  are  still  some  trouble  codes  in  the  system,  please  troubleshoot  the  code  using  a 

factory diagnosis guide, then clear the code and recheck.

 

3. I/M Readiness 

I/M  refers  to  Inspection  and  Maintenance  that  is  legislated  by  the  Government  to  meet 
federal  clean-air  standards.  I/M  Readiness  indicates  whether  or  not  the  various 
emissions-related  systems  on  the  vehicle  are  operating  properly  and  are  ready  for 
Inspection and Maintenance testing. 

The  purpose  of  the  I/M  Readiness  Monitor  Status  is  to  indicate  which  of  the  vehicle’s 
Monitors have run and completed their diagnosis and testing (as described in Chapter 2.5), 
and which ones have not yet run and completed testing and diagnosis of their designated 
sections of the vehicle’s emissions system. 

The I/M Readiness Monitor Status function also can be used (after repair of a fault has been 
performed)  to  confirm  that  the  repair  has  been  performed  correctly,  and/or  to  check  for 
Monitor Run Status.
