2.   GENERAL INFORMATION

 

2.1 On-Board-Diagnostics (OBD) II

 

The  first  generation of  On-Board  Diagnostic  (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  and  the  desire  to  improve 
On-Board  Diagnostic  capability  increased, a  new  generation  of  On- 
Board  Diagnostics  system  was  developed.  This  second  generation  of 
On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called "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”  or  “Service  Engine  Soon”.  The  system will  also  store 
important  information about  the  detected  malfunction so  that  a 
technician  can  accurately  find  and  fix  the  problem.   
Here below follow three pieces of such crucial information: 

●  Whether  the  Malfunction  Indicator  Light  (MIL)  is  commanded 

'on' or 'off'; 

 

●  Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored; 

 

●  Readiness Monitor status 

 

2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

 

OBD  II  Diagnostic  Trouble  Codes  are  codes  that  are  stored  by  the 
on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in 
the  vehicle.  These  codes  identify a  particular  problem  area  and  are 
intended  to  provide  you  with  a  guide  as  to  where  a  fault  might  be 
occurring within a vehicle. OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a 
five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identifies which 
control  system sets  the  code.  The  other  four characters,  all  numbers, 
provide  additional  information  on  where  the  DTC originated and the 
operating conditions that caused it to set.
