INTRODUCTION TO ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

The original on-board diagnostics (OBD I) lacked consistency in communication and interface while allowing different interpretations amongst vehicle manufacturers. Ford and Chrysler used different types of engine control computers and data link connectors, and GM varied the trouble codes and communication protocols from year-to-year.

The tables below highlight changes for GM, Ford, and Chrysler. If this seems confusing; don’t worry. Your tool makes it easy. Based on the VIN information selected during Scan Tool setup, the processor is automatically recognized. All you have to do is choose the correct adapter cable and jumper wires (if necessary). Details on adapter cables and jumper wires may be found in “Diagnostic Link Connectors (DLC)” on page 2-5

OBD II stands for On-Board Diagnostics version II. OBD II is a system that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed to standardize automotive electronic diagnosis. Technicians now can use the same tool to test any OBD II compliant vehicles without special adapters. The SAE established guidelines that provide:

• a universal diagnostic test connector, called the data link connector (DLC), with dedicated pin assignments.

• a standardized location for the DLC, visible under the dash on the driver’s side.

• a standardized list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) used by all manufacturers.

• a standardized list of parameter identification (PID) data used by all manufacturers.

• the ability of the vehicle system to record a freeze frame of the operating conditions when a fault occurs.

• expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a condition occurs that effects vehicle emissions.

• the ability to clear stored codes from vehicle memory with the scan tool.

Getting Started

In addition, SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a standard communications protocol that establishes the hardware, software, and circuit parameters of OBD II systems. Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers have different interpretations of this standard communications protocol. As a result, the generic OBD II communications scheme used will vary, depending on the vehicle.

SAE publishes recommendations, not laws, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) made many of SAE’s recommendations legal requirements that vehicle manufacturers were required to phase in over a three-year period. Beginning in 1994, vehicles with a new engine management computer – about 10% of each manufacturers fleet – were supposed to comply with OBD II standards. For 1995, OBD II systems were to appear on about 40% of the new vehicles sold in the USA. Some of the 1994-1995 OBD II systems were not fully compliant, so the Government granted waivers to give manufacturers time to fine-tune their systems. Beginning in 1996, most of the new vehicles sold in the USA were fully OBD II compliant.

DIAGNOSTIC LINK CONNECTORS (DLC)

The Data Link Connector (DLC) allows the scan tool to communicate with the vehicle’s computer(s). Before OBD II, manufacturers used different data link connectors to communicate with the vehicle. The proper DLC adapter cable must be used to connect the tool to the vehicle. Also, the vehicle’s DLC may be found in several different places and have many different configurations. The following describes the DLCs used by Ford, GM and Chrysler. The DLC location and types for domestic vehicles can be looked up in the charts in “Appendix

A - Data Link Connectors".

OBD II (J1962)

Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in the United States use the J1962 (OBD II) DLC, a term taken from a physical and electrical specification number assigned by SAE (J1962). The DLC should be located under the dashboard on the driver side of the vehicle. If the DLC is not located under the dashboard as stated, a decal describing its location should be attached to the dashboard in the area the DLC should have been located.

Because the OBD II J1962 connector has power and ground, you only need a single cable connection to the tool for both power and tool communications. Attach the OBD II adapter cable to the extender cable, both supplied with the tool, to connect the tool. Certain pins in the connector are reserved
