Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Checking monitor status
The purpose of the monitor result (mode 06) is to allow access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are catalyst, evaporative emission (EVAP) and thermostat.
The monitor result allows the OBD II scan tool to display the monitor status, test value, minimum test limit and maximum test limit. These data are displayed after the vehicle has been driven to run the monitor.
When the test value is not between the minimum test limit and maximum test limit, the ECM (PCM) interprets this as a malfunction. When the component is not malfunctioning, if the difference of the test value and test limit is very small, the component will malfunction in the near future.
Perform the following instructions to view the monitor status.
Although the Lexus diagnostic tester is used in the following instructions, it can be checked using a generic OBD II scan tool. Refer to your scan tool operator's manual for specific procedures.
Write vin
(a) The VIN writing process is shown in the flowchart
below. This process allows the VIN to be input into
the ECM. If the ECM is changed, or the ECM VIN
and Vehicle VIN do not match, the VIN can be ...
Perform monitor drive pattern
