OBD II

On-board diagnostics version II (OBD II) is a system that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed to standardize automotive electronic diagnosis.

Beginning in 1996, most new vehicles sold in the United States were fully

OBD II compliant.

✓ Technicians can now use the same tool to test any OBD II

compliant vehicle without special adapters. SAE established guidelines that provide:

❒ A universal connector, called the DLC, with dedicated pin

assignments.

❒ A standard location for the DLC, visible under the dash on driver’s

side.

❒ A standard list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) used by all

manufacturers.

❒ A standard list of parameter identification (PID) data used by all

manufacturers.

❒ Ability for vehicle systems to record operating conditions when a

fault occurs.

❒ Expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a

condition occurs that affects vehicle emissions.

❒ Ability to clear stored codes from the vehicle’s memory with a

Scan Tool.

SAE Publications

SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a standard communication protocol that establishes 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 varies, 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 United States. 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 United States were fully OBD II compliant.

Data Link Connector (DLC)

The data link connector (DLC) allows the Scan Tool to communicate with the vehicle’s computer(s).

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 the SAE (J1962). The DLC should be located under the dashboard on the driver’s 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. For more information on OBD II connectors, go to http://www.obdclearinghouse.com/oemdb.

OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

✓ J2012 and ISO 15031-6 are standards for all DTCs, established by

the SAE, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and other governing bodies.

❒ Codes and definitions assigned by these specifications are

known as Generic OBD II codes.

❒ OBD II requires compliance to these standards for all cars, light

trucks, APVs, MPVs, and SUVs sold in the United States.

❒ Codes not reserved by the SAE are reserved for the

manufacturer and referred to as Manufacturer Specific Codes.

✓ DTCs are used to help determine the cause of a problem or

problems with a vehicle.

❒ DTCs consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code.

❒ The DTCs format and general code types are shown below.

CodeConnect® Feature

CodeConnect® is an experience-based database derived from over 4.7 million phone calls from technicians seeking assistance diagnosing repair problems on their vehicles. CodeConnect® brings the technology of professional technicians to a DIY scan tool. Don’t waste time trying to find the answer. With the information CodeConnect® offers, it takes vehicle repairs to the next level. Since you now know the most probable fix for your problem, you can decide if you want to tackle the repair yourself, or bring the vehicle to a local automotive repair facility.

In order for CodeConnect® to work, you must select your specific vehicle during vehicle selection. A Global OBD II vehic

le selection will not provide any CodeConnect® information. The power of CodeConnect® is that repair information is vehicle and trouble code specific and is based on the largest experience-based database available.

CodeConnect® information icon is visible on the display. The CodeConnect® icon has the potential of being displayed while trouble codes are being displayed from Read Codes or while Viewing Freeze Frame data. Also, when you print codes to your PC, the CodeConnect® information, if available, will also be printed.

I/M Monitors (Emissions)

The I/M Monitors (Inspection / Maintenance) function is used to view a snapshot of the operations for the emission system on OBD II vehicles.

✓ I/M Monitors is a very useful function. To guarantee no faults exist

make sure all monitors are ok or n/a and no DTC’s exist.

✓ Refer to the vehicles service manual for the drive cycle operation.

✓ During normal driving conditions, the vehicle computer scans the

emission system. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor has specific driving conditions and time required), the computer monitors decide if the vehicles emission system is working correctly or not as well as detecting out of range values. When the monitor status is:

vehicle was driven enough to complete the monitor.

• ok -

• in

c (Incomplete) - vehicle was not driven enough to complete the

monitor.

• n/a (Not

Applicable)- vehicle does not support that monitor.

✓ Depending on vehicle, disconnecting or a discharged battery may

erase DTCs and clear monitor status.

✓ Monitors may be cleared by:

❒ Erasing codes ❒ Vehicle control modules losing power

✓ I/M Monitors can be done key on engine running (KOER) or key on

engine off (KOEO).

✓ Extreme weather and/or road conditions can prevent a monitor from

running. Also, some monitors may require a cold start to complete.

✓ The Erase Codes function may also erase View Freeze Data, O2

Monitor Tests, and Diagnostic Monitor Test results depending on

vehicle.

✓ The Erase Codes function sets monitors to inc.

✓ Perform Erase Codes function only after systems have been

checked completely and DTCs have been written down.

✓ After servicing the vehicle, erase stored DTCs and verify no codes

have returned. If a DTC returns, problem has not been fixed or other faults are present.

✓ Depending on which monitor sets a code the vehicle may need to be

driven and the monitor ran before concluding that the fault is repaired.

✓ If the vehicle communicates using a controller area network (CAN),

O2 monitor tests are not supported by vehicle. A message is displayed. See “Diagnostic Monitor Tests” in this section to see O2 monitor data.

✓ O2 sensors are located before (upstream) and after (downstream)

catalyst(s). Sensors are named (xy) for their position to both cylinder banks and catalysts.

❒ The O2 sensor for cylinder bank 1 has prefix 1y while O2 sensor

for cylinder bank 2 has prefix 2y.

❒ The O2 sensor upstream of catalyst (closest to engine) has suffix

x1 while O2 sensor downstream of catalyst has suffix x2. If vehicle contains more catalysts, O2 sensor downstream of second catalyst has suffix x3 and O2 sensor downstream of next catalyst has suffix x4.

❒ For example, O2S21 is upstream O2 sensor for cylinder bank 2.

Error Messages

Check the following if an error message displays:

❒ Verify ignition key is in the ON and not in the ACCESSORIES

position.

❒ Make sure the DLC Cable is attached to vehicle’s data link

connector (DLC) and Scan Tool.

❒ Look at DLC and check for cracked or recessed pins, or for any

substance that could prevent a good electrical connection.

❒ Test for continuity between the DLC wiring and the computer. In

an extreme case, there may be a broken wire.

❒ Check for bent or broken pins. ❒ With the engine off, check for blown fuses in the vehicle fuse box. ❒ Make sure the vehicle’s control module has a good ground. If the

computer case is grounded, then clean the connection and apply a conductive (dielectric) grease to the mating surfaces.

❒ With the key on engine off (KOEO), verify battery voltage is at

least 8.0V

❒ Verify the control module is not defective. Refer to the service

manual to diagnose the control module.

Scan Tool Does Not Power Up

✓ Review Safety Precautions before troubleshooting.

If Scan Tool will not power up, communic module, pass Scan Tool self-tests, or functions incorrectly in any other way, do the following:

❒ Check and replace the batteries if needed. ❒ Clean the DLC pins. ❒ Disconnect and reconnect DLC making sure it is connected

correctly.

❒ Check vehicle battery to make sure at least 8.0 volts is present. ❒ Contact customer service. ❒ With the engine off, check for blown fuses in the vehicle fuse box.
