II Readiness Monitors

 

Readiness Monitors are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions

components have been evaluated by the OBD

 

 II system. They are running

 

periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are

performing within allowable limits.

currently, there are eleven OBD   Readiness Monitors (or l/M Monitors)

II

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.

Comtinuous Monitors

 – Some of the vehicle components or systems are

continuously tested by the vehicle’s OBD   system, while others are tested

II

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 OBD   system is continuously checking

II

the above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for

engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands.

Non-Continuous Monitors

 – Unlike the 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. EG R Syst em - exha ust  Gas Reci rcul at ion for reduci ng gr eenhouse  gase s.

2. O2 Sensors - monitor and adjust air/fuel mixture.

3. Catalyst - reduces exhaust emissions.

4. Evaporative System - monitors the integrity of the fuel tank system.

5. O2 Sensor Heater - brings O2 sensor to correct operating temp erature.

6. Secondary air - reduces exhaust emissions.

7. Heated Catalyst - brings catalyst to correct operating temperature.

8. A/C system - monitors system for freon leaks.
