Introduction

Overview

Nearly every new road vehicle, and many older vehicles, have multiple control modules
that monitor and control different aspects of the vehicle (e.g. Engine, Transmission,
Body, Suspension, etc.). The ContiSys OBD service tool has been specifically
designed to connect to, and communicate with, a number of these control modules
and allow the user to extract information (e.g. Diagnostic Trouble Codes) which may
aid in the diagnosis of system problems.
The applications available on the ContiSys OBD service tool is dependent on the tool
purchased.
There are currently eight applications available.
EOBD

the vehicles emission related data through the OBD functionality. This includes MI

freeze frame data and more.
