Innova 5610: How to perform an OBD Monitor Test

OBD Monitor Test

The OBD Monitor Test function retrieves and displays test results for emission-related powertrain components and systems that are not continuously monitored. The tests available are determined by the vehicle manufacturer.

Note: The 5610 does not perform the OBD monitor test but retrieves results from the most recently performed tests from the onboard computer’s memory. You may retrieve OBD monitor test results for only one test at any given time.
