On-Board System Readiness (OSR) Test Mode

OSR test mode indicates OBD II system operating status by indicating status of each system monitor (complete or incomplete). There are 2 types of system monitors. Misfires, fuel system and comprehensive components are continuous monitoring-type functions. Catalyst, EGR system, EVAP system and oxygen sensor are monitored during each drive cycle only.

Apply parking brake. Place shift lever in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Block wheels. Turn off all electrical accessories. Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature.

Perform visual inspection. Ensure air cleaner and inlet ducts are clean, and system wiring harness is properly connected. Check for bent or broken connector terminals and corroded or loose wires. Check Powertrain Control Module (PCM), sensors and actuators for physical damage. Check engine coolant for proper level and mixture. Check for proper transmission fluid level and quality.

Turn ignition off. Ensure proper memory (EPROM) card is inserted into NGS scan tool. Connect service connections of adapter cable to vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC) and the NGS scan tool. Connect NGS scan tool power supply cable to power and listen for a double beep to indicate that scan tool is on.

Ensure scan tool meets OBD-II standard. Connect scan tool to 16-pin connector located at left side of steering column. Follow scan tool manufacturer's operating instructions to connect equipment and operate on-board readiness test.
