OBD II Ready Status on 1997-1999 Boxsters
I would like to check emissions monitor readiness status via OBD II after some repairs on my 1999 Boxster.
I have Durametric but noticed:
Can anyone confirm if 1997-1999 Boxster with ME5.2.2 DME shows Ready Status using generic OBD II scanner...or is it only through Porsche PIWIS?
I have Durametric but noticed:
- "Ready Status" does not appear in my Engine menu (ME5.2.2 for 1997-1999 (Engine)) (see below)
- Durametric website says: "Special features for this car: Ready status on ME7.2 and ME7.8 engine ECUs"

I will answer my own question: "yes"
Bought a Foxwell NT301 and it shows I/M (emissions) readiness for my car.
Super helpful to know when O2 sensor and Catalyst are ready before driving to SMOG shop.
