Engine Control Module: Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
How to Set Readiness Codes
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been
disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the emissions
testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to complete, the vehicle may fail the test.
To check if the readiness codes are complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If
it then goes off, the readiness codes are set to complete. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not set to complete. To set each code,
drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the following procedures.
Catalytic Converter Monitor Code
NOTE:
-
Do not turn the ignition switch OFF.
-
When the battery negative cable is disconnected, all readiness codes are cleared.
-
When the PCM is cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester, all readiness code are cleared.
Required condition:
Ambient temperature between 20 - 95 °F (-7 - 35 °C).
1. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector.
2. Start the engine. Hold it at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
3. Drive for about 10 minutes, without stopping, on a highway. Your speed can vary.
4. With the transmission in (D5) position, drive at a steady speed between 50 - 62 mph (80 - 100 kph) for 30 seconds.
5. Repeat step 4 three times. Between each repetition, close the throttle completely for 1 - 2 seconds. If the engine is stopped during this part of
procedure, repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
6. Check the readiness code with the scan tool.
EGR Monitor Code
NOTE:
-
Do not turn the ignition switch OFF.
-
When the battery negative cable is disconnected, all readiness codes are cleared.
1. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector.
2. Start the engine, and hold it at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
3. Drive at a steady speed with the transmission in (D5) position between 50 - 62 mph (80 - 100 kph) for more than 10 seconds.
4. With the transmission in (D5) position, decelerate from 62 mph (100 kph) by completely releasing the throttle for at least 5 seconds. If the engine
is stopped during this procedure, repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. Check the readiness code with the scan tool.
EVAP Leak Monitor Code
NOTE:
-
When the battery negative cable is disconnected, all readiness codes are cleared.
-
When PCM is cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester, all readiness or cleared.
-
If the engine is stopped while doing the procedure between step 6 and 16, do the entire procedure.
1. Make sure the gasoline level is 60 - 90 percent of fuel tank capacity (not full).
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Let the vehicle sit more than 8 hours.
4. Make sure the outside temperature is 20 - 95 °F (-7 - 35 °C).
5. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector.
6. Start the engine, and drive for about 15 minutes.
7. Keep the vehicle at a steady speed between 50 - 70 mph (80 - 144 kph), without moving the accelerator pedal, for about 1 minute.
8. Stop the vehicle (do not stop engine).
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 two more times.
10. Check the readiness code with the scan tool. If the readiness code is not complete, go to step 11.
11. When ambient temperature is less than 32 °F (0 °C), hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes
on.
12. Remove the fuel fill cap, then install it.
13. Drive for about 20 minutes on a highway.
