System Readiness Test (SRT) CodeNLEC0031S0103System Readiness Test (SRT) code is specified in Mode 1 of ISO 15031-5.
As part of an emissions test for Inspection & Maintenance (I/M), certain states require the status of SRT be
used to indicate whether the ECM has completed self-diagnosis of major emission systems and components.
Completion must be verified in order for the emissions inspection to proceed.
If a vehicle is rejected for a State emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating ªINCMPº,
use the information in this Service Manual to set the SRT to ªCMPLTº.
In most cases the ECM will automatically complete its self-diagnosis cycle during normal usage, and the SRT
status will indicate ªCMPLTº for each application system. Once set as ªCMPLTº, the SRT status remains
ªCMPLTº until the self-diagnosis memory is erased.
Occasionally, certain portions of the self-diagnostic test may not be completed as a result of the customer's
normal driving pattern; the SRT will indicate ªINCMPº for these items.
NOTE:
The SRT will also indicate ªINCMPº if the self-diagnosis memory is erased for any reason or if the ECM
memory power supply is interrupted for several hours.
If, during the state emissions inspection, the SRT indicates ªCMPLTº for all test items, the inspector will con-
tinue with the emissions test. However, if the SRT indicates ªINCMPº for one or more of the SRT items the
vehicle is returned to the customer untested.
NOTE:
If MI is ªONº during the state emissions inspection, the vehicle is also returned to the customer untested even
though the SRT indicates ªCMPLTº for all test items. Therefore, it is important to check SRT (ªCMPLTº) and
DTC (No DTCs) before the inspection.

SRT Set TimingNLEC0031S0108SRT is set as ªCMPLTº after self-diagnosis has been performed one or more times. Completion of SRT is done
regardless of whether the result is OK or NG. The set timing is different between OK and NG results and is
shown in the table below.

OK: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is OK.
NG: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is NG.
Ð: Self-diagnosis is not carried out.
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results in a single cycle (Ignition OFF-ON-OFF), the SRT
will indicate ªCMPLTº.®Case 1 above
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results through several different cycles, the SRT will indi-
cate ªCMPLTº at the time the respective self-diagnoses have at least one OK result.®Case 2 above
If one or more SRT related self-diagnoses showed NG results in 2 consecutive cycles, the SRT will also indi-
cate ªCMPLTº.®Case 3 above
The table above shows that the minimum number of cycles for setting SRT as ªINCMPº is one (1) for each
self-diagnosis (Case1&2)ortwo(2)foroneofself-diagnoses (Case 3). However, in preparation for the state
emissions inspection, it is unnecessary of each self-diagnosis to be executed twice (Case 3) for the following
reasons:
+The SRT will indicate ªCMPLTº at the time the respective self-diagnoses have one (1) OK result.
+The emissions inspection requires ªCMPLTº of the SRT only with OK self-diagnosis results.
+When, during SRT driving pattern, 1st trip DTC (NG) is detected prior to ªCMPLTº of SRT, the self-diag-
nosis memory must be erased from ECM after repair.
+If the 1st trip DTC is erased, all the SRT will indicate ªINCMPº.
NOTE:
SRT can be set as ªCMPLTº together with the DTC(s). Therefore, DTC check must always be carried out prior
to the state emission inspection even though the SRT indicates ªCMPLTº.
SRT Service ProcedureNLEC0031S0109If a vehicle has failed the state emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating ªINCMPº, review

How to Set SRT CodeNLEC0031S0111To 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.
With CONSULT-II
Perform corresponding DTC Confirmation Procedure one by one based on ªPerformance Priorityº in the table
on EC-122.
Without CONSULT-II
The most efficient driving pattern in which SRT codes can be properly set is explained on the next page. The
driving pattern should be performed one or more times to set all SRT codes.

REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE
(RECORDING VEHICLE DATA)
NLEC0034S10CONSULT-II has two kinds of triggers and they can be selected by
touching ªSETTINGº in ªDATA MONITORº mode.
1) ªAUTO TRIGº (Automatic trigger):
+The malfunction will be identified on the CONSULT-II screen in
real time.
In other words, DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will be
displayed if the malfunction is detected by ECM.
At the moment a malfunction is detected by ECM, ªMONITORº
in ªDATA MONITORº screen is changed to ªRecording Data ...
xx%º as shown at left, and the data after the malfunction detec-
tion is recorded. Then when the percentage reached 100%,
ªREAL-TIME DIAGº screen is displayed. If ªSTOPº is touched
on the screen during ª Recording Data ... xx%º, ªREAL-TIME
DIAGº screen is also displayed.
The recording time after the malfunction detection and the
recording speed can be changed by ªTRIGGER POINTº and
ªRecording Speedº. Refer to CONSULT-II OPERATION
MANUAL.
2) ªMANU TRIGº (Manual trigger):
+DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will not be displayed
automatically on CONSULT-II screen even though a malfunc-
tion is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even though
a malfunction is detected.
Use these triggers as follows:
1) ªAUTO TRIGº
+While trying to detect the DTC/1st trip DTC by performing the
ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº, be sure to select to ªDATA
MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)º mode. You can confirm the malfunc-
tion at the moment it is detected.
+While narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT-II
should be set in ªDATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)º mode, espe-
cially in case the incident is intermittent.

IntroductionNLEC0036The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
control, ignition control, idle air control system, etc. The ECM
accepts input signals from sensors and instantly drives actuators.
It is essential that both input and output signals are proper and
stable. At the same time, it is important that there are no problems
such as vacuum leaks, fouled spark plugs, or other problems with
the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II (or GST) or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº on EC-97.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, espe-
cially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and
under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº like the
example on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
SEF907L
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEETNLEC0036S01There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction
of engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can make
trouble-shooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a
customer complaint.
Utilize a diagnostic worksheet like the one on the next page in order
to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
Some conditions may cause the malfunction indicator lamp to
come on steady or blink and DTC to be detected.
Example:
Vehicle ran out of fuel, which caused the engine to misfire.
