  • Page 19: Introduction To On-Board Diagnostics

    Getting Started INTRODUCTION TO ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS The original on-board diagnostics (OBD I) lacked consistency in communication and interface while allowing different interpretations amongst vehicle manufacturers. Ford and Chrysler used different types of engine control computers and data link connectors, and GM varied the trouble codes and communication protocols from year-to-year.
  • Page 20 Getting Started System Long Name Single Module Engine SMEC Controller Single Board Engine SBEC Controller OBD II OBD II Powertrain Control Module Jeep/Truck Engine JTEC Controller * In 1989, the SBEC system was installed in selected vehicles with 3.0L V6 engines. ** Some vehicles in 1995 were equipped with the OBD II PCM.
  • Page 21: Diagnostic Link Connectors (Dlc)

    Getting Started In addition, SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a standard communications protocol that establishes the hardware, software, and circuit parameters of OBD II systems. Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers have different interpretations of this standard communications protocol. As a result, the generic OBD II communications scheme used will vary, depending on the vehicle.
  • Page 22: Obd Ii (J1962)

    Getting Started OBD II (J1962) Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in the United States use the J1962 (OBD II) DLC, a term taken from a physical and electrical specification number assigned by SAE (J1962). The DLC should be located under the dashboard on the driver side of the vehicle.

  • Page 43: Read Codes

    Global OBDII Diagnostics READ CODES The Read Codes function gets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from vehicle’s computer module(s). Read Codes function can be done with Key On Engine Off (KOEO) or Key On Engine Running (KOER). These codes cause computer to light Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when emission-related or driveability fault occurs.
  • Page 44: Pending Codes

    Global OBDII Diagnostics PENDING CODES Pending Codes are also referred to as “continuous monitor” and “maturing codes”. An intermittent fault causes computer to store a code in memory. If fault does not occur within 40 warm-up cycles, code clears from memory. If fault occurs a specific number of times, code matures into a DTC and MIL lights or blinks.

  • Page 46: View Data

    Global OBDII Diagnostics VIEW DATA The View Data function allows “real time” viewing of vehicle’s Parameter Identification (PID) data. As computer monitors vehicle, information is simultaneously transmitted to scan tool. Apart from Read Codes, View Data is the most useful diagnostic function for isolating cause of a vehicle operation problem.
  • Page 47: View Freeze Data
