What is EOBD2?
EOBD2 is
not
a new version of EOBD.
Where EOBD stands for 'European OnBoard Diagnostics', EOBD2 actually
stands for 'Enhanced OnBoard Diagnostics, Second Generation'.
EOBD2 tends to refer to manufacturerspecific features available on some
OBDII/EOBD tools to access additional parameters/information from a car, over
and above the normal parameters and information available within the
EOBD/OBDII standard.
EOBD2 features are normally highly manufacturerspecific, and will usually only
be available for a certain car manufacturer, e.g. Ford.
There are, as such, no 'EOBD2 cars', i.e. cars that require an EOBD2 tool to
access their diagnostics information. EOBD2 functionality might however allow
more information to be extracted from an EOBD/OBDII compliant car.
