Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct because a scan tool is indeed used to check the monitor readiness status of a vehicle to ensure all diagnostics are complete. Technician B is correct because if a monitor is displayed as N/A (Not Applicable) on the scan tool, it means that particular monitor does not apply to the vehicle being tested, which can vary based on the vehicle's specific configuration and design.
