System Readiness Testing

SYSTEM READINESS TEST (SRT) CODE
System Readiness Test (SRT) code is specified in Mode 1 of SAE J1979. It indicates whether the self-diagnostic tests for non-continuously monitored items have been completed or not.

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) tests of the on board diagnostic (OBD) II system may become the legal requirements in some states/areas. All SRT codes must be set in this case. Unless all SRT codes are set, conducting the I/M test may not be allowed.

SRT codes are set after self-diagnosis has been performed one or more times. This occurs regardless of whether the diagnosis is in "OK" or "NG", and whether or not the diagnosis is performed in consecutive trips. The following table lists the five SRT items (18 test items) for the ECM used in G20 models.

Together with the DTC, the SRT code is cleared from the ECM memory using the method described later. In addition, after engine control components/system are repaired or if the battery terminals remain disconnected for more than 24 hours, all SRT codes may be cleared from the ECM memory.

HOW TO DISPLAY SRT CODE





With CONSULT
Selecting "SRT STATUS" in "DTC CONFIRMATION" mode with CONSULT.
For items whose SRT codes are set, a "CMPLT" is displayed on the CONSULT screen; for items whose SRT codes are not set, "INCMP" is displayed as shown below.

With GST
Selecting Mode 1 with GST (Generic Scan Tool)

HOW TO SET SRT CODE
To set all SRT codes, self-diagnosis for the items indicated above must be performed one or more times. Each diagnosis may require a long period of actual driving under various conditions. The most efficient driving pattern in which SRT codes can be properly set is as explained. The driving pattern should be performed one or more times to set all SRT codes.
