ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
Operation
The Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD)
carries out a continuous diagnosis of the
components of the vehicle related to emis
-
sions.
It also alerts the driver of when these compo -
nents are no longer in peak condition by
switching on the
warning light on the
instrument panel, see “Warning Lights And
Messages” paragraph in this chapter.
The aim of the OBD system (Onboard Diag -
nostic) is to:

Monitor the efficiency of the system

Indicate an increase in emissions

Indicate the need to replace damaged
components
The vehicle also has a connector, which can
interface with appropriate tools, that makes
it possible to read the error codes stored in
the electronic control units together with a
series of specific parameters for engine oper
-
ation and diagnosis. This check can be
carried out by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
After eliminating a fault, to check the system
completely, an authorized dealer is obliged
to run tests and, if necessary certain road
tests.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard
Diagnostic system (OBD II) and a connection
port to allow access to information related to
the performance of your emissions controls.
Authorized service technicians may need to
access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
For further information, refer to “Cybersecu -
rity” in “Multimedia”.
WARNING!

ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.

If unauthorized equipment is connected
to the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:

Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems,
could be impaired or a loss of vehicle
control could occur that may result in
an accident involving serious injury
or death.

Access, or allow others to access,
information stored in your vehicle
systems, including personal informa-
tion.
