  • Page 2: General Information

    1. General Information • On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically by the phrase of “Check Engine”...
  • Page 3 illustrate the structure of the digits: • Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC) The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver's side for most vehicles.
  • Page 4: Obd Ii Readiness Monitors

    • OBD II Readiness Monitors An important part of a vehicle's OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits.
  • Page 5 operated under specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-continuous monitors. For different ignition type engines, the available monitors are different too. The following monitors are to be used for spark ignition engines only 1. EGR System 2.
  • Page 6 6. PM filter • OBD II Monitor Readiness Status OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle's PCM's monitor system has completed testing on each component. Components that have been tested will be reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have been tested by the OBD II system. The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow inspectors to determine if the vehicle's OBD II system has tested all the components and/or systems.
  • Page 7: Using The Scan Tool

    Here is a basic introduction to the OBD II communication protocol. Mode byte: The first byte in the stream is the mode number. There ar 9 modes for diagnostic requests, so this first byte is from 1 to 9. The first byte in the response data bytes is this same number plus 64. For example, a mode 1 request would have the first data byte = 1, and the response would have the first data byte = 65.

    ② YELLOW LED – Indicates there is a possible problem. A “Pending” DTC is present and/or some of the vehicle's emission monitors have not run their diagnostic testing. ③ GREEN LED – Indicates that engine systems are running normally (The number of monitors on the vehicle which are active and performing their diagnostic testing is in the allowed limit, and no DTCs are present).

    • Reading Codes Reading Codes can be done with the key on engine off (KOEO) or with the key on engine running (KOER). Stored Codes are also known as “hard codes”, which are fault codes, or trouble codes that have been stored in the vehicle computer memory because the faults have reoccurred for more than a specified amount of key-cycles.
