GENERAL INFORMATION VEHICLE COVERAGE The OBDII Code Reader is specially designed to work with all OBDII compliant vehicles, including those equipped with the next-generation protocol -- Control Area Network (CAN). All 2000 and later vehicles are OBDII compliant and this includes all USA, Asian and European vehicles. A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year petrol vehicles are OBDII compliant.
NOTE: Manufacturer Specific Codes(x1xxx): This is where the vehicle manufacturer feels that a code is not avaiable within the generic list. The definitions for these are set by the vehicle manufacturer. OBDII READINESS MONITORS An important part of a vehicle's OBDII system are the Readiness monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBDII system.
1. Misfire 2. Fuel System 3. Comprehensive Components (CCM) Once the vehicle is running, the OBDII system is continuously checking the above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands. NON CONTINUOUS MONITORS Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions and engine system components require the vehicle to be operated under specific conditions before the monitor is ready.
conditions may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period. For specific information on getting your vehicle's OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner’s manual. OBDII DEFINITIONS POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) OBDII terminology for the on-board computer that controls engine and drive train.
