There are two modes to show I/M Readiness monitor status – user can configure modes in Setup menu:
"Scan Tool Mode" – default work mode. In this mode, after the vehicle monitors have run and completed their diagnosis and testing, the device will turn to OBDII diagnostic procedures.
NOTE: only in this mode the OBD II diagnostics can be performed.
"Ready Test Mode" - in this mode, after the vehicle's monitors have run and completed their diagnosis and testing, the device will return to the previous screen. So it is only used to check the emission-related monitors status.
NOTE: this function reads off the real time data of emission-related monitoring systems readiness status every two minutes. Once the device has finished other operations, for example, clearing trouble codes, and the real time data been changed, the I/M Readiness Status indication will be changed accordingly. In order to reset these monitors, the vehicle must be driven through a complete drive cycle. Times for reset vary depending on vehicle.

To enter this mode, please follow the steps for "Retrieving I/M Readiness Status". The green, yellow and red LEDs provide a quick way to help the user determine if a vehicle is ready for an Emission Test. The LED and audio tone indications are as interpreted following:
1) Green LED – Indicates that engine systems are “OK” and operating normally (the number of Monitors supported by the vehicle which have run and performed their self-diagnostic testing is in the allowed limit. MIL is off. There are no stored and pending DTCs.
2) Yellow LED – With MIL off, there may be three possible conditions to cause the yellow LED to light.
- If a “Stored” DTC is causing the Yellow LED to light, it is still possible that the vehicle will be eligible to be tested for emissions.
- If a “Pending” DTC is causing the Yellow LED to light, it is still possible that the vehicle will be allowed to be tested for emissions.
- If the illumination of the Yellow LED is being caused by monitors that have not completed their diagnostic testing, then the issue of the vehicle being ready for an Emissions Test depends on the emissions regulations and local laws.
| I/M Readiness 1/6 | |
| MIL Status | OFF |
| Misfire Monitor | OK |
| Fuel System Mon | OK |
| Comp. Component | OK |
| Catalyst Mon | INC |
| Htd Catalyst | N/A |
3) Red LED – Indicates there is a problem with one or more of the vehicle's system. A vehicle displaying a red LED is definitely not ready for an emission test. The red LED is also an indication that there are DTCs present. The MIL lamp on the vehicle's instrument panel will light steady. The problem that is causing the red LED to light must be repaired before an emissions test can be performed. It is also suggested that the vehicle be inspected/ repaired before driving it further. If the red LED was obtained, there is a definite problem present in the system(s).
4) Audio tone Interpretation - could be configured according to the I/M Readiness Status. This function is very helpful when working in bright areas where LED illumination alone is not sufficient. It is recommended to set the audio tone to Beep "on". The following audio tone description only works in Scan Tool mode (different audio tone with different LED lights will indicate different I/M Readiness Status.):
| LED light | Audio tone | Beep interval |
| Green | Beep off | |
| Yellow | 2 short beeps | 0.5 seconds |
| Red | 2 short beeps | 0.5 seconds |
3.3.10 Ready Test Mode
Repairs to the emissions-control systems of a 1996 or newer model year vehicle cause the vehicle's computer (ECU) memory to be cleared. The vehicle must go through a drive cycle to allow the ECU to perform a series of tests to ensure that the repair was successful, and before a state mandated emissions test can be conducted. In the “Ready Test Mode”, you could easily check the I/M Readiness status to determine whether an OBD II vehicle is ready for an emission test.
- To enter this mode, simply press the One-Click Key at any time (if the one-click function key is set at "I/M Readiness".) or while the scan tool in "Ready Test Mode", select Diagnostics in the Main Screen.
- If the scan tool doesn't measure, it will show the result immediately. If it's working, it will wait till the current procedure finished.
- After viewing the status, press "I/M Readiness" trough FN-one-click button or ENTER-button to exit, which can take a few seconds to get the information screen:
