    LAUNCH 2. General Information-About OBDII/EOBD 2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) I Note: With the exception of some 1994 and 1995 vehicles, most vehicles from 1982 to 1995 are equipped with some type of first generation On-Board Diagnostics. Beginning in 1988, California’s Air Resources Board (CARB), and later the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required vehicle manufacturers to include a self-diagnostic program in their on-board computers.
  • Page 10 LAUNCH showed the following: • A large number of vehicles had deteriorating or degraded emissions-related components. These components were causing an increase in emissions. • Because OBD I systems only detect failed components, the degraded components were not setting codes.

They are the vehicle- specific events or conditions that must occur within the engine before the various monitors will set, or run. Some monitors require the vehicle to follow a prescribed “drive cycle” routine as part of the enabling criteria. Drive cycles vary among vehicles and for each monitor in any particular vehicle.

    LAUNCH 2.6.2 Non-Continuous Monitors “Non-continuous” Monitors perform and complete their testing once per trip. The “non-continuous” Monitors are: 1. O Sensor Monitor The Oxygen Sensor monitors how much oxygen is in the vehicle’s exhaust. It generates a varying voltage of up to one volt, based on how much oxygen is in the exhaust gas, and sends the signal to the computer.
  • Page 18 LAUNCH vehicle operation. When the vehicle is operating in closed-loop, the computer uses the oxygen sensor signal for air/fuel mixture corrections. In order for the computer to enter closed-loop operation, the oxygen sensor must reach a temperature of at least 600°F. The oxygen sensor heater helps the oxygen sensor reach and maintain its minimum operating temperature (600°F) more quickly, to bring the vehicle into closed-loop operation as soon...
  • Page 19 LAUNCH converter. The main difference is that a heater is added to bring the catalytic converter to its operating temperature more quickly. This helps reduce emissions by reducing the converter’s down time when the engine is cold. The Heated Catalyst Monitor performs the same diagnostic tests as the catalyst Monitor, and also tests the catalytic converter’s heater for proper operation.

    LAUNCH 2.7 DTCs and MIL Status When the vehicle’s on-board computer detects a failure in an emissions- related component or system, the computer’s internal diagnostic program assigns a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that points to the system (and subsystem) where the fault was found. The diagnostic program saves the code in the computer’s memory.
