Page 7: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION OBD2 Readiness monitors An important part of a vehicle’s OBD2 system is the Readiness Monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBD2 system. They are running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits.
Page 8 GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.) OBD2 Monitor readiness status OBD2 systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s PCM’s monitor system has completed testing on each component. Components that have been tested will be reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have been tested by the OBD2 system.

OBD2 Definitions • Power-train control module (PCM) – OBD2 terminology for the on-board computer that controls engine and drive train. • Malfunction indicator light (MIL) – Malfunction Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument panel. It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a problem with one or more of vehicle’s systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal standards.
