On Board System Readiness (OSR) Test: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Ford Fusion, and 2014 Ford C-Max. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All on board diagnostic (OBD) scan tools display the OSR test. The OSR displays the supported monitors on the vehicle and the status of all monitors (complete or not complete) at that time. Fuel, misfire, and comprehensive component monitors (CCM) run continuously and always display YES status. Only clearing the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the powertrain control module (PCM) or resetting the keep alive memory (KAM) causes the non-continuous monitors to change to a NO status.

A detailed description of completing the OBD monitors is found in this article. Refer to ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) DRIVE CYCLE .
