On Board System Readiness (OSR) Test
2012 Ford Edge AWD V6-3.7LSECTION On Board System Readiness (OSR) Test
ON BOARD SYSTEM READINESS (OSR) TEST
Description
All on board diagnostic (OBD) scan tools display the OSR test. The OSR displays 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 (CCMs) run continuously and always display a 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. Refer to On Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle. On Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle
