.

Test
procedure

1. Engine: start
2. Accelerate until the vehicle speed is 56

− 64 km/h (35 − 40 mph).

3. Travel for 20 seconds or more while keeping the vehicle speed at 56

− 64 km/h (35 − 40

mph).

4. Fully close the throttle from an engine speed of 2,000

− 3,000 r/min, and while keeping

the clutch engaged, decelerate to approximately 900 r/min without applying the brakes.
Do not steer the handle or turn the light ON/OFF during this time. (During monitor)

5. Accelerate until the vehicle speed reaches 56

− 64 km/h (35 − 40 mph), and travel for 20

seconds or more. Then, repeat steps 4 and 5 and complete 8 monitor sessions.

6. Return the vehicle to the shop, then turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
7. Confirm that the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not output.
8. If DTC P0401 is output, refer to DTC P0401

− Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient

SYSTEM READINESS TEST STATUS

.

PURPOSE

The Readiness function (also referred to as I/M
Readiness or I/M Flags) indicates if a full diagnostic
check has been "Completed" (is "Ready") for each
non-continuous monitor. Enhanced I/M State Emis-
sion Programs will use the Readiness status (Codes)
to see if the vehicle is ready for OBD-II testing.
"Incomplete" (Not Ready) codes will be one of the
triggers for I/M failure.

.

OVERVIEW

The PCM monitors the following main diagnosis
items and records whether the evaluation was com-
pleted or is incomplete. The Readiness Codes are
established for the I/M programs, thereby confirming
that the vehicles have not been tampered with by
erasing the diagnostic trouble code(s) (DTCs) before
I/M testing. The Readiness Codes and DTCs can be
reset by disconnecting the battery or by erasing the
codes with a scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub
assembly). For this reason, all the Readiness Codes
must be displayed "Complete" before I/M testing.
When the monitors run and complete, the scan tool
MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly) will display the
Readiness Codes as "Complete" (General Scan
Tools display as "Ready"). When the vehicle is oper-
ating normally and the OBD-II Drive Cycle is carried

out, the Readiness Codes will be set as "Complete"
on the first drive cycle. For DTCs requiring two drive
cycles to detect a fault, the second drive cycle is
required to set the Readiness Codes as "Complete"
if a fault is detected during the first drive cycle. If the
fault is still there after the second drive cycle, a DTC
will be set.

• Catalyst: P0421, P0431

• Evaporative system: P0441, P0442, P0455,

P0456

• Heated oxygen sensor: P0130, P0131, P0132,

P0133, P0134, P0136, P0137, P0138, P0139,
P0150, P0151, P0152, P0153, P0154, P0156,
P0157, P0158, P0159

• Heated oxygen sensor heater: P0135, P0141,

P0155, P0161

• EGR system: P0401

After all the Readiness Codes are displayed as
"Complete", the technician is assured that any DTCs
related to the monitor will be displayed if the system
has a problem. That is why some State's I/M pro-
grams require the Readiness Code as "Complete"
before they check for DTCs.
NOTE: After a repair is made for a DTC, the techni-
cian should drive the OBD-II Drive Cycle checking
that the scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assem-
bly) displays all the Readiness Codes as "Complete".

Test
procedure

1. Engine: start
2. Accelerate until the vehicle speed is 56

− 64 km/h (35 − 40 mph), and travel for 300

seconds or more.

3. Return the vehicle to the shop.
4. After stopping the vehicle, continue idling for 300 seconds, and then turn the ignition

switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Moreover, the vehicle should be set to the following
conditions for idling.

NOTE: Vehicles for Canada the headlight, taillight, etc. remain lit even when the lighting

switch is in "OFF" position but this is no problem for checks.
• A/C switch: OFF

• Lights and all accessories: OFF

• Transaxle: P range

• Steering wheel: Straightforward position

5. Confirm that the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not output.
6. If a DTC is displayed, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart
