[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 15867960, member: 184279"] If you're asking about checking monitor readiness, then my comments below may help: From my research I have found that after you turn ignition to ON position (without turning on the engine), wait there for 15secs and if the check engine light stays solid then all monitors are ready if it blink 8 times then they are not ready. BUT you won't know how many, or which ones, are not ready. Many states allow you to pass emissions with one monitor 'not ready'. A better option is this............. buy your own scanner that shows monitor readiness. I looked around and found this YouTube video showing OBD scanner (from Harbor Freight) for only $55, and the guy is using it to check readiness status of his monitors. If you start looking at 2:45 of the video, you can see the screen where it shows two of his monitors with red X, showing not ready. [MEDIA=youtube]lIgMOAIWzEU[/MEDIA] I'm surprised there is an OBD scanner available that will read individual monitor status for so cheap. There are likely others too then. Good info to know, especially since I paid $500 for mine, LOL, but mine is laptop based and will do quite a bit.
