Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Purpose of readiness tests
- The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is
designed to monitor the performance of emissionrelated
components, and indicate any detected
abnormalities with DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
Since various components need to be monitored in different driving conditions, the OBD II system is designed to run separate monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors.
- The intelligent tester's software must be version 9.0 or newer to view the Readiness Monitor status. To view the status, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / MONITOR INFO / MONITOR STATUS.
- When the Readiness Monitor status reads COMPL (complete), the necessary conditions have been met for running the performance tests for that Readiness Monitor.
- A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the Readiness Monitor status.
HINT:
Many Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require a vehicle's Readiness Monitor status to show COMPL before beginning emission tests.
The Readiness Monitor will be reset to INCMPL (incomplete) if:
- The ECM has lost battery power or broken a fuse.
- DTCs have been cleared.
- The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met.
If the Readiness Monitor status shows INCMPL, follow the appropriate Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the status to COMPL.
| CAUTION: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns. |
| NOTICE: These drive patterns represent the fastest method of satisfying all conditions necessary to achieve complete status for each specific Readiness Monitor. In the event of a drive pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the drive pattern can be resumed. In most cases, the Readiness Monitor will still achieve complete status upon completion of the drive pattern. To ensure completion of the Readiness Monitors, avoid sudden changes in vehicle load and speed (driving up and down hills and/or sudden acceleration). |
Catalyst monitor (active air-fuel ratio control
type)
(a) Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
The MIL is OFF.
(b) Drive Pattern
(1) Connect an intelligent tester.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Turn the ...

Engine Coolant Temperature / Intake Air Temperature Correlation
DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the difference between the readings of the coolant
temperature sensor and intake air
temperature sensor. If the difference is greater than 20°C (68°F), the ECM will
judge this as a malfunction
and will set this DTC.

Installation
HINT:
Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
1. INSTALL REAR AIRBAG SENSOR LH
Check that the ignition switch is off.
Check that the battery negative (-) terminal is
disconnected.
CAUTION:

Diagnosis system
1. DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The diagnosis function makes the light and the
multi-information display come on, and the CRUISE
main indicator light blink as shown in the illustration.
When a malfunction occurs in the dynamic laser
cruise control system, the DTCs are stored in the
ECM ...
