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 the
standardized 16-cavity 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.
1）Misfire
2）Fuel System
3）Comprehensive Components (CCM)
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:
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
6) Secondary air Injection
7) Heated Catalyst
8) A/C system
2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status
OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s PCM’s monitor
system has completed testing on each component. Components that have
been tested will be reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have
been tested by the OBD II system. The purpose of recording readiness status
is to allow inspectors to determine if the vehicle’s OBD II system has tested
all the components and/or systems.
The powertrain control module (PCM) sets a monitor to “Ready” or
“Complete” after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The drive
cycle that enables a monitor and sets readiness codes to “Ready” varies for
each individual monitor. Once a monitor is set as “Ready” or “Complete”, it
will remain in this state. A number of factors, including erasing of diagnostic
trouble codes (DTCs) with a code reader or a disconnected battery, can result
in Readiness Monitors being set to “Not Ready”. Since the three continuous
6
LAUNCH
CReader 3001 User’s
9
monitors are constantly evaluating, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the
time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been
completed, the monitor status will be reported as “Not Complete” or “Not
Ready.”
In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be
driven under a variety of normal operating conditions. These operating
conditions may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type
driving, and at least one overnight-off period. For specific information on
getting your vehicle’s OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle
owner’s manual.
2.6 OBD II Definitions
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) -- OBD II terminology for the on-board
computer that controls engine and drive train.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Service
Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument
panel. It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a
problem with one or more of vehicle's systems and may cause emissions to
exceed federal standards. If the MIL illuminates with a steady light, it
indicates that a problem has been detected and the vehicle should be
serviced as soon as possible. Under certain conditions, the dashboard light
will blink or flash. This indicates a severe problem and flashing is intended to
discourage vehicle operation. The vehicle onboard diagnostic system cannot
turn the MIL off until the necessary repairs are completed or the condition no
longer exists.
DTC -- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that identifies which section of the
emission control system has malfunctioned.
Enabling Criteria -- Also termed Enabling Conditions. They are the
vehicle-specific events or conditions that must occur within the engine before
the various monitors will set, or run. Some monitors require the vehicle to
follow a prescribed “drive cycle” routine as part of the enabling criteria. Drive
cycles vary among vehicles and for each monitor in any particular vehicle.
Please refer to the vehicle's factory service manual for specific enabling
procedures.
OBD II Drive Cycle -- A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides
conditions required to set all the readiness monitors applicable to the vehicle
to the “ready” condition. The purpose of completing an OBD II drive cycle is to
7
LAUNCH
CReader 3001 User’s
10
force the vehicle to run its onboard diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle
needs to be performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCM’s
memory or after the battery has been disconnected. Running through a
vehicle’s complete drive cycle will “set” the readiness monitors so that future
faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the
monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle, consult the
service manual.
Freeze Frame Data -- When an emissions related fault occurs, the OBD II
system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle
operating parameters to help in identifying the problem. This set of values is
referred to as Freeze Frame Data and may include important engine
parameters such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, air flow, engine load, fuel
pressure, fuel trim value, engine coolant temperature, ignition timing advance,
or closed loop status.
Fuel Trim (FT) - Feedback adjustments to the base fuel schedule. Short-term
fuel trim refers to dynamic or instantaneous adjustments. Long-term fuel trim
refers to much more gradual adjustments to the fuel calibration schedule than
short-term trim adjustments. These long-term adjustments compensate for
vehicle differences and gradual changes that occur over time

A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD II
compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD II compliant, check the
Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label, which 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”. Additionally, Government
regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a
“common” sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).
For the vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link
Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information
Label must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant.
