What this new “Three item not ready” function in CG FC200 programmer is for?
Here is the clue.
Three item not ready= Three Not-Ready Monitors (three readiness monitors not ready function.)
It’s to set monitors for emissions, it might be useful for some.
Having three monitors in a “Not Ready” state for emissions testing can cause a vehicle to fail, especially for model year 2001 and newer vehicles.
For example, Having issues with emissions readiness for inspection. 3 systems are not ready. Heated catalyst, EGR system and secondary air system.
For vehicles from model years 1996 through 2000, the limit is two “Not Ready” monitors.
Elaboration:
Emissions Testing and Readiness Monitors:
Emissions testing involves checking various systems to ensure they are functioning correctly and meeting emissions standards. On-board diagnostics (OBD) monitors play a crucial role in this process. They continuously monitor the vehicle’s emissions systems.
“Not Ready” Status:
If a monitor is “Not Ready,” it means the system hasn’t completed its self-test or hasn’t been able to run the required test conditions. This can happen for various reasons, including a recent battery disconnection, a power issue, or an incomplete drive cycle.
Impact on Emissions Test:
If too many monitors are “Not Ready,” the vehicle may fail the emissions test.
FC200 will fix this issue within software directly.
