I think, according to the worthless manual, that there are five entries like this. Sometimes it says "4 Ready" but I do not know where to go from there.

I realize this is a cheap scanner and it works to identify things like bad O2 sensors and it resets the Service Engine Light OK. But is it designed to give me more information that for some reason I cannot access?

Using it on a 1999 Land Rover Disco II.

Thx
Those sounds like those could be OBDII emissions readiness tests. MIL is malfucntion indicator light (trouble light), The number of misfiers, any catalyst codes, etc...

Never used an Actron, so I could be way off.
