6. eOBD
Note: Standard eOBD is supported on petrol
vehicles from 2001 and diesel vehicles from
2003.
eOBD is a protocol used throughout the European union. The main function of the system is to ensure
that vehicles in use on the roads are not producing polluting levels of exhaust gases. All petrol engine
vehicles sold since January 2001 must conform to this regulation. A similar code for Diesel and L.P.G.
vehicles was introduced in 2004.
The eOBD legislation relates only to the engine. All other parameters eg. A.C, SRS Airbag, A.B.S. etc.
are controlled by the OBD protocol.
The16 pin socket is standard and must be located within 1 Meter of the center of the steering wheel.
The following functions are available via eOBD: Read and erase fault codes, Information, Reading live
data, Oxygen sensor information, non continuous test info and control of diagnostic systems.
