On-Board System Readiness (OSR): Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Milan, and 2006 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All on-board diagnostic (OBD) diagnostic tools display the on-board system readiness (OSR) test. The OSR will display the supported monitors on the vehicle and the status of all monitors (complete or not complete) at that time. Fuel, misfire, and comprehensive component monitors run continuously and always display YES status. Clearing the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and resetting the emission monitors information in the powertrain control module (PCM), or resetting the keep alive memory (KAM) causes the non-continuous monitors to change to a NO status.

A detailed description of completing the OBD monitors is found in this article. Refer to ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) DRIVE CYCLE .
