  • Page 3: General Information

    2. General Information 2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBD I) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed.
  • Page 4: Location Of The Data Link Connector (Dlc)

    2.3 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 5: Obd Ii Readiness Monitors

    2.4 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 6: Obd Ii Monitor Readiness Status

    The following monitors are to be used for spark ignition engines only: EGR System O2 Sensors Catalyst Evaporative System O2 Sensor Heater Secondary air Heated Catalyst The following monitors are to be used for compression ignition engines only: EGR System NMHC Catalyst NOx aftertreatment Boost pressure system...

    to “Not Ready”. Since the three continuous monitors are constantly evaluating, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the monitor status will be reported as “Not Complete” or “Not Ready.”...
  • Page 8: Obd Ii Modes Of Operation

    OBD II Drive Cycle -- A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides conditions required to set all the readiness monitors applicable to the vehicle to the “ready” condition. The purpose of completing an OBD II drive cycle is to force the vehicle to run its onboard diagnostics.
  • Page 9 Mode $03 – Displays the type of power-train or emission related DTCs stored by a 5 digit code identifying the faults. There may be more than one response message if there are more trouble codes than will fit in the data bytes of the response message, or if there are more than one ECU computer responding.
  • Page 10 Mode $08 – This special Control Mode requests control of the on-board system, test, or component bi-directionally (where applicable). This mode is manufacturer specific. Mode $09 – Reports vehicle information. This information includes vehicle VIN number and calibration information stored in the vehicle ECUs.
