2.1 on-Board diagnostics (oBd) I
Note: With the exception of some 1994 and 1995 vehicles, most vehicles
from 1982 to 1995 are equipped with some type of first generation On-Board
Diagnostics.
Beginning in 1988, California’s Air Resources Board (CARB), and later the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required vehicle manufacturers to
include a self-diagnostic program in their on-board computers. The program
would be capable of identifying emissions-related faults in a system. The first
generation of Onboard Diagnostics came to be known as OBD I.
OBD I is a set of self-testing and diagnostic instructions programmed into
the vehicle’s onboard computer. The programs are specifically designed to
detect failures in the sensors, actuators, switches and wiring of the various
vehicle emissions-related systems. If the computer detects a failure in any of
these components or systems, it lights an indicator on the dashboard to alert
the driver. The indicator lights only when an emissions-related problem is
detected.
The computer also assigns a numeric code for each specific problem that it
detects, and stores these codes in its memory for later retrieval. These codes
can be retrieved from the computer’s memory with the use of a “Code Reader”
or a “Diagnostic Tool.”
2.2 on-Board diagnostics (oBd) II
As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic
system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was
developed. This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is
called “OBD II”.
In addition to performing all the functions of the OBD I System, the OBD II
System has been enhanced with new Diagnostic Programs. These programs
closely monitor the functions of various emissions-related components and
systems (as well as other systems) and make this information readily available
(with the proper equipment) to the technician for evaluation.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) conducted studies on OBD I
equipped vehicles. The information that was gathered from these studies
1. Vehicle emissions Control Information (VeCI) Label . It is located
under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II
compliant, the label will designate “OBD II Certified”.
2. Government regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must
have a “common” 16-pin data Link Connector (dLC) .
Note: Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles have 16-pin connectors but are not OBD II
compliant. Only those vehicles with a Vehicle Emissions Control Label stating “OBD
II Certified” are OBD II compliant.
