System Readiness Test Access

Description
All OBD II diagnostic tools should display the System Readiness Test (SRT). The SRT will display the supported monitors on the vehicle and the status of all tests (complete or not complete) at that time. If any test is not complete, the diagnostic tools will identify which test has not completed. Fuel, misfire and comprehensive components are continuous tests and won't display complete or not complete.
