One of the most commonly asked questions that shops receive after repairing an OBD-II compliant vehicle is "Why can't you retest my car now?", followed by "Just drive my car? How will I know when it is ready?"

The Ready-or-Not TM test tool helps answer this question. It can be used by automotive technicians to determine whether an OBD-II compliant vehicle is ready to receive an OBD-II test (U.S. Patent # 7,012,512). The device connects to the vehicle's diagnostic link connector (DLC), and alerts the user when the vehicle is ready for the OBD-II test.

Repairs to the emissions-control systems of a 1996 or newer (OBD-II) vehicle cause the vehicle's computer (ECU) memory to be cleared. The vehicle must go through a drive cycle to allow the ECU to perform a series of tests to ensure that the repair was successful, and before a state mandated emissions test can be conducted.

Modern vehicles lack equipment to indicate whether the tests have been completed. As a result, often times the customer will bring the vehicle back to the repair shop for retest before all the required tests by the ECU are complete. This causes the vehicle to be rejected from testing because the computer is not ready, leading to lost time and frustration to both the customer and the technician.

The purpose of the Ready-or-Not test tool is to provide an easy way for automotive technicians to determine whether an OBD-II vehicle is ready for an emissions test. The device can be loaned to a motorist to aid them in knowing when to return for testing.

Ready-or-Not TM Test Tool (Readiness Monitor Tool) Scan Tool - Emissions Tester - Free Shipping! (430101) Review

I've been using mine for just about a week now. I am an I/M technician, and I have seen the need for a tool like this for years. Vehicle owners are frequently commenting (complaining) of the hardships of OBDII testing:

1) Owners don't know when to bring the vehicle back to be tested, or if they are even being successful at getting any of the monitors to set.
2)They don't like the idea of paying a technician $100/hour to drive their vehicle to set the monitors for them.
3)They are worried about how the technician will/has driven their vehicle.
4)Technicans complain about having to risk getting a ticket due to the vehicles registration being expired, or having to drive a vehicle around getting the monitors to set when there is better paying jobs in the bay.
5)I see many vehicles that reset the monitors to incomplete whenever the vehicle is started. These vehicles will never pass, but it is easy to determine by plugging the tool in, drive it and see if some monitors set, turn the vehicle off and restart. If the monitors are incomplete you have a direction to pursue your diagnostics.

This product takes care of these issues. The software that came with the product allowed me to easily set the parameters to our states particular requirements. The cord is long enough route out of the way and still have the unit easily readable. It can even audibly inform you when it's ready to go get I/M tested.

Is this really that good? Yep, and I just loaned it out to another shop to try out because they didn't like the idea of driving a vehicle with expired tags. Now they can leave that ticket to the owner!

Kinda wish I had an engineering background myself... :)
