I/M Readiness Testing - Innova 3100 Owner's Manual

1. Perform the Code Retrieval Procedure
as described on page 17.
2. Wait until the codes are displayed on
the Code Reader's LCD and then
proceed to step 3.
3. Press and release Code Reader 's
ERASE button. The LCD display
will indicate "SurE" for your confirmation.
If you change your mind and do not
wish to erase the codes, press the
LINK button to return to the
code retrieval function.
If you wish to continue, press and release the ERASE
button again.
The LCD will display "donE" for a
few seconds, and then will auto-
matically enter the re-link (read)
mode to confirm that all retrievable
information including DTCs, have
been successfully erased/cleared
from the computer memory.
If the erase was successful, the LCD
display will show zero (0) codes, and
some of the Monitors icons will be
flashing to indicate that the Monitors
have been re-set.
Erasing DTCs does not fix the problem(s) that caused the
code(s) to be set. If proper repairs to correct the problem
that caused the code(s) to be set are not made, the code(s)
will appear again (and the check engine light will illuminate)
as soon as the vehicle is driven long enough for its Monitors
to complete their testing.

I/M READINESS TESTING

I/M is an Inspection and Maintenance program legislated by the
Government to meet federal clean-air standards.
The program requires that a vehicle be taken periodically to an
Emissions Station for an "Emissions Test" or "Smog Check," where
the emissions-related components and systems are inspected and
tested for proper operation. Emissions Tests are generally performed
once a year, or once every two years.
