Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Purpose of readiness tests
- The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is
designed to monitor the performance of emissionrelated
components, and indicate any detected
abnormalities with DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
Since various components need to be monitored in different driving conditions, the OBD II system is designed to run separate monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors.
- The intelligent tester's software must be version 9.0 or newer to view the Readiness Monitor status. To view the status, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / MONITOR INFO / MONITOR STATUS.
- When the Readiness Monitor status reads COMPL (complete), the necessary conditions have been met for running the performance tests for that Readiness Monitor.
- A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the Readiness Monitor status.
HINT:
Many Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require a vehicle's Readiness Monitor status to show COMPL before beginning emission tests.
The Readiness Monitor will be reset to INCMPL (incomplete) if:
- The ECM has lost battery power or broken a fuse.
- DTCs have been cleared.
- The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met.
If the Readiness Monitor status shows INCMPL, follow the appropriate Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the status to COMPL.
| CAUTION: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns. |
| NOTICE: These drive patterns represent the fastest method of satisfying all conditions necessary to achieve complete status for each specific Readiness Monitor. In the event of a drive pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the drive pattern can be resumed. In most cases, the Readiness Monitor will still achieve complete status upon completion of the drive pattern. To ensure completion of the Readiness Monitors, avoid sudden changes in vehicle load and speed (driving up and down hills and/or sudden acceleration). |

Evaporator temperature sensor circuit
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the
evaporator in the air conditioning
unit. It detects the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the
evaporator and its signal is
used to control the air conditioning. It sends a signal to the A/C ...

classification ECU, it d ...
Diagnostic trouble code chart
HINT:
The parameters listed in the chart may not confirm exactly to
those read during the DTC check due to the type of
instrument or other factors.
If a trouble code is displayed during the DTC check in the
check mode, check the circuit for the code listed in the table
below. For details of ...
