Read the readiness code

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the readiness code is set and no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, two operating cycles have been completed. In other words, the systems diagnostic functions have been checked twice without any fault being detected.

HINT: The readiness code is reset when diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are erased or if the control module has been without power.

HINT: The readiness code can also be set if a fault is detected by the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system.

Select the appropriate remedy depending on this status:

If diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) stored
If the readiness code is not stored.
Refer to Read the diagnostic status for readiness
If readiness is complete and no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored
OKAY: Troubleshooting has been completed.
