meet  federal  clean-air  standards.  I/M  Readiness  indicates  whether  or  not  the 
various emissions-related systems on the vehicle are operating properly and are 
ready for Inspection and Maintenance testing. 
The  purpose  of  the  I/M  Readiness  Monitor  Status  is  to  indicate  which  of  the 
vehicle’s  Monitors  have  run  and  completed  their  diagnosis  and  testing  (as 
described in Chapter 2.5), and which ones have not yet run and completed testing 
and diagnosis of their designated sections of the vehicle’s emissions system. 
I/M Readiness Monitor Status function also can be used (after repair of a fault has 
been performed) to confirm that the repair has been performed correctly, and/or to 
check for Monitor Run Status. 
4. Data Stream 
This  option  retrieves  and  displays  live  data  and  parameters  from  the  vehicle’s 
ECU. 
5. View Freeze Frame 
When an emission-related fault occurs, certain vehicle conditions are recorded by 
the  on-board  computer.  This  information  is  referred  to  as  freeze  frame  data. 
Freeze  Data  is  a  snapshot  of  the  operating  conditions  at  the  time  of  an 
emission-related fault. 
Note: If DTCs were erased, Freeze Data may not be stored in vehicle memory depending 
on vehicle. 
6. O2 sensor test 
The results  of  O2  sensor  test  are not  live  values  but instead  the results  of  the 
ECU’s last O2 sensor test. For live O2 sensor readings, refer to any of the live 
sensor screens such as Graph Screen. 
Not all test values are applicable to all vehicles. Therefore, the list generated will 
vary  depending  on  vehicle.  In  addition,  not  all  vehicles  support  the  Oxygen 
Sensors screen. 
7. On-board monitor test 
This function can be utilized to read the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring 
tests for specific components/systems. 
8. EVAP System Test 
The EVAP test function lets you initiate a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP system.
