Engine OBD2 Emission Tests Readiness

Function is available in engine control unit (if ECU provides such information and the information is available through specific diagnostic protocol).

OBD2 emission tests monitor result is displayed (Complete (OK), Incomplete, or Test not available). Two sets are displayed: since DTC clearing and for this driving cycle.

This function is useful before driving vehicle to a state-regulated emission test according to recent EU regulations. For those who are familiar with VCDS, this function is similar to VCDS readiness function.

Technical details

Despite of fact that our diagnostic tool do not use OBD2 emission diagnosis protocols, many engine control units provide the same information also using native diagnostic protocols. Our tools basically read what is present in OBD2 service 01 PIDs 01 and 41)
