Eobd System - Fiat Panda Owner's Handbook Manual

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
carries out a continuous diagnosis of the
components of the car related to emissions. It also
alerts the driver about component deterioration
by switching on the warning light on the instrument
panel and the displaying of a relevant message (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see the chapter
"Warning lights and messages").
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒ monitor the system efficiency;
❒ indicate an increase in emissions;
❒ indicate the need to replace damaged components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that can
be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read the
error codes stored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
