Seat Arosa Diesel System Readiness Incomplete

I am experiencing an issue with my 2002 Seat Arosa diesel. The mileage is currently at 154279 km. The system readiness check is incomplete, resulting in an error stored in the error memory and an error message displayed in the speedometer. This occurred after the vehicle was recently read out via OBD2 diagnostics. I'm concerned about the upcoming emissions test and vehicle inspection. Any insights?

System readiness incomplete? Sounds like the car's computer hasn't finished all its self-checks since the OBD2 diagnostics. Did you clear any codes recently? Sometimes it takes driving for all the monitors to become ready.

Yes, the error memory was read out recently using OBD2. What does 'a bit of driving' entail? Is there a specific drive cycle I need to perform to complete the system readiness?

A 'drive cycle' is basically a specific pattern of driving that helps the car run all its tests. It varies between manufacturers, but usually involves a mix of city and highway driving, some acceleration and deceleration, and maintaining certain speeds for a period. If you're unsure about the exact drive cycle for your Arosa, a workshop is probably best.

I solved the problem. After research, I did a specific drive cycle. The system readiness is now complete, and the error is gone. Apparently, the car diagnostics reset the system readiness, and it just needed a reset through driving. Luckily, the vehicle inspection is now possible. No costs.
