2. General Information
2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (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 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”.
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 fin and fix the problem. Here below follow
three pieces of such valuable information:
1) Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded ‘on’ or ‘off’;
2) Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;
3) 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 second character,
a number, 0-3; other three characters, a hex character, 0-9 or A-F provide
additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating conditions
that caused it to set. Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the
digits:

2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is typically a 16-
pin connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-
board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the
instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If
Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there
telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located
behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If
the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

2.4 OBD II Readiness Monitors
An important part of a vehicle’s OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, which
are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been
evaluated by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on specific
systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable
limits.
Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) defined
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are
supported in every vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle
depends on the motor vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.
Continuous Monitors -- Some of the vehicle components or systems are
continuously tested by the vehicle’s OBD II system, while others are tested
only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The continuously monitored
components listed below are always ready:
1.Misfir
2.Fuel System
3.Comprehensive Components (CCM)
Once the vehicle is running, the OBD II system is continuously checking the
above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire,
and monitoring fuel demands.
Non-Continuous Monitors -- Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions
and engine system components require the vehicle to be operated under
specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-
continuous monitors and are listed below:
1) EGR System
2) O2 Sensors
3) Catalyst
4) Evaporative System
5) O2 Sensor Heater
