Ready status
The "Ready Status" menu item indicates whether the OBD system has performed the required fault checks since the last time the 'fault memory was erased' or 'reset'. If a check proves to be OK, the one-off check is sufficient for a Ready status; if the system is faulty, the Ready status is achieved after a second check.
This is important, for example, for Inspection and Maintenance; this is where it is possible to detect whether the fault memory of a faulty vehicle was erased before the examination, without the cause(s) of the fault having been remedied.
The ready status is displayed for the following sub-systems:
- Oxygen sensor heater
- Oxygen sensor
- Secondary-air system
- Fuel tank ventilation system
- Cat. conv. efficiency
Once the Ready status has been reached for a sub-system, this is stored until the next time the 'fault memory is erased'.
NOTE:
- in some countries (currently: USA, Canada), it is necessary to restore the Ready status following manipulation of the DME before the vehicle is supplied to the customer.
- To do this, you must perform the short test available in the 9588 Porsche System Tester II or a test drive to achieve the relevant diagnostic conditions (these are listed for each system at the beginning of the test instructions for P codes in this article).
- If you have any questions, please contact your nearest importer.
