Sometime ago a question was raise about a way to test readiness using techstream. At that time and up to the present no one was able to provide the answer. While facing the same question a few weeks ago after my car failed the mandated vehicle inspection test my research resulted to an answer of yes. I'm sharing snapshot pictures of techstream's typical results. Of course you can use a generic OBD2 scanner but these scanners in general cannot produce the details of the tests produced by techstream.

I could not get a clear image of your photos when I enlarged. What codes or Readiness tests caused your RAV to fail the vehicle inspection and how many miles does it have?
Went to a government authorized shop for the inspection. Was told to drive some more since the test failed. Tested the car with techstream and the engine healthcheck shows incomplete. So went to a drive to Jones beach and back (around 60 to 70 miles total). Tested the car again with techstream, this time it says complete. Went back to the shop to retest and got a pass.

In the picture, the first figure is the result after selecting Powertrain then engine. This shows pass in the tests conducted. This means readiness test is pass. To see the details of each test you have to click the magnifying glass to display the test detail. I will try posting each detail result one by one.

Did you replace the battery not long before having the test done? That was my problem when I experienced the same issue on another one of my vehicles. I didn't even think about it until the guy came back and told me it had failed. I drove it like 300 miles and went back to have the test done and there still wasn't enough of the readiness codes set. If I recall correctly, I had to have 8 of 9 set. I tried all kinds of things being I needed to get it done in certain amount of time. Other things I had on my to do list too at the time. I even tried a sequence procedure I found online to get it to set. From my experience driving it on the freeway really was of no benefit. It was more about stop and go at random speeds. I had my code reader hooked up to show when I was successful.
If I remember right I have remove the battery for charging without attaching my memory saver.
