3. I/M Readiness
An important part of a vehicle’s OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, which
are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been
evaluated by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on specific
systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable
limits.
Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) de¿ned
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are
supported in every vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle
depends on the motor vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.
