SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

CAUTION: EXHAUST GAS

When performing any checks with the engine running in an enclosed space such as a garage, be sure there is proper ventilation. Never inhale exhaust gases; they contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless extremely dangerous gas which can cause unconsciousness or death.

CAUTION:

To help avoid personal injury always set the parking brake securely and block the drive wheels before performing any checks or repairs on the vehicle.

INTRODUCTION

This document provides a basic description of the Global OBD II Software. This software is contained on the Application Cartridge and performs the basic functions required by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) as part of the On-Board Diagnostics Phase II (OBD II).

OBD II IMPLEMENTATION

The OBD II system was implemented on some production vehicles in early 1994, even though automobile manufacturers were required to meet the OBD II regulation for all vehicles sold in California by 1996. Because of their early adaptation, 1994-95 vehicles equipped with the OBD II system (pre-

1996) were given exemptions by the California Air Resources Board. These exemptions gave automobile manufacturers the opportunity to implement certain OBD II modes for 1994-95.

When performing diagnostics on 1994-95 vehicles and communication problems occur when using the Global OBD II Software, the communication problem may be a vehicle software problem. If communication problems occur, refer to the service manual or Technical Service Bulletin information published by the manufacturer for the vehicle being tested. Communication problems between the tester and vehicle will not cause incorrect electronic powertrain operation.

OBD II SYSTEM AND VEHICLE INFORMATION

MONITOR OPERATION

The OBD II system is capable of identifying the likely area of a malfunction within the electronic powertrain control system. Observe the following before beginning diagnostic service:

• MIL OPERATION. When excessive tailpipe emissions or powertrain component failure are detected by the OBD II Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.

• LOW FUEL TANK LEVEL. Automobile manufacturers may disable OBD II monitors which can be affected by running the vehicle out of fuel (example: a monitor may become disabled when fuel tank volume is below 15% of maximum fuel tank capacity).

• ALTITUDE. Automobile manufacturers may disable OBD II monitors which can be affected by altitude (example: a monitor may become disabled when vehicle is operated above 8,000 feet elevation).

• AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. Automobile manufacturers may disable OBD II monitors which can be affected by ambient temperature (example: a monitor may become disabled when a vehicle is started below 20°F ambient).

system, the Malfunction

• POWER TAKE-OFF UNIT. Automobile manufacturers may disable OBD II monitors which can be affected by power take-off unit operation (example: a monitor may become disabled when a vehicle power takeoff is engaged or active).

All of the above are part of the California Air Resources Board OBD II regulation and are options available to the automobile manufacturer for vehicle Powertrain Control Module (PCM) development. In the case of some monitors, per the above, a manufacturer may have determined that a monitor is unreliable or not complete when certain conditions exist, therefore not enabling proper operation.

PRINTING CAPABILITIES

The Global OBD II with Toolpak software supports printing data via a TECH 1 printer, VP411 printer, or other compatible serial printer, connected to the tester. If you are using a TECH 1 tester, refer to the RS232 Operator's Manual for setup and printing instructions. If you are using a TECH 1A or MASTERTECH tester, refer to the tester Operator's Manual for setup and printing instructions.

Two types of printing are supported by the OBD II software:

• Pressing the • key in a DATA DISPLAY mode (e.g., DATA READINESS TEST) causes the tester to print a list of data appropriate

LIST or

the mode ( a list of diagnostic data parameters or Readiness Test Status ).

• The tester can be setup to print an image of the tester’s screen (referred to as SCREEN PRINT).

3.0 GETTING STARTED

POWERING THE MASTERTECH, TECH 1A OR TECH 1

The tester must be provided with an external power source (e.g. vehicle power or an AC/DC power supply). OBD II compliant vehicles provide power at the Data Link Connector (DLC), so when using a MASTERTECH or TECH 1A, the tester only needs to be connected to the vehicle DLC. With the TECH 1, you must connect the DC Power Cable to the vehicle cigarette lighter or to an AC/DC power supply.

READINESS TEST OPERATION

OBD II SYSTEM AND VEHICLE INFORMATION

The OBD II system is capable of identifying the likely area of a malfunction within the electronic engine control system. Observe the following before beginning diagnostic service:

• LOW FUEL TANK LEVEL. Automobile manufacturers may disable

READINESS tests which can be affected by running the vehicle out of fuel (example: a monitor may become disabled when fuel tank volume is below 15% of maximum fuel tank capacity).

• ALTITUDE. Automobile manufacturers may disable READINESS tests

which can be affected by altitude (example: a READINESS test may become disabled when vehicle is operated above 8,000 feet elevation).

• AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. Automobile manufacturers may disable

READINESS tests which can be affected by ambient temperature (example: a READINESS test may become disabled when a vehicle is started below 20°F ambient).

• POWER TAKE-OFF UNIT. Automobile manufacturers may disable

READINESS tests which can be affected by power take-off unit operation (example: a READINESS test may become disabled when a vehicle power take-off is engaged or active).

All of the above are part of the California Air Resources Board OBD II regulation and are options available to the automobile manufacturer for vehicle Powertrain Control Module (PCM) development. In the case of some READINESS tests, per the above, a manufacturer may have determined that a READINESS test is unreliable or not complete when certain conditions exist, therefore not enabling proper operation.

The CLEAR INFORMATION mode is used to clear DTCs from all vehicle ECUs along with any other diagnostic

information which the controller has

saved, such as FREEZE DATA.

IMPORTANT: Clearing diagnostic information also clears the status of readiness tests (making them incomplete). It can take 30 to 60 minutes of vehicle drive and engine run time (and in some cases longer) to complete all of these tests if they are cleared. Some inspection and maintenance programs require that the readiness tests be complete before the inspection can proceed.

When you select F2: CLEAR INFO, you are first prompted with a warning message. This is to prevent inadvertent clearing of codes. If you press n or

x in response to the prompt, the

tester will return to the DTC menu. If you press y in response to the prompt, the tester will cause all OBD II controllers to clear all emissions-related

F1: PROCEDURE

The OBD II system represents the latest in on-board failure detection strategies. Strategies such as misfire detection, component, and fuel system status are some examples of diagnostic data that can be obtained from the OBD II system.

Along with the new, more stringent methods of failure detection came standardized diagnostic test modes. These standardized test modes are supported in the Global OBD II application as modes F0 through F8.

F1: Diagnostic Procedure is designed to assist you in learning how to diagnose an OBD II system fault or assess current system condition. While there are many approaches that can be used, there is no one right way to perform this task.

This submode helps formalize a strategy and teaches you how, using a sensible approach, to use the Global OBD II application modes F0-F8 and determine a solution to a problem within the OBD II system.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. Press ª to select OBD II TOOLPAK from the Select Mode menu.

2. Press º to select Diagnostics from the OBD II Toolpak menu.

3. Press ¡ to select Procedure from the Diagnostics menu.

F4: OXYGEN SENSOR INFORMATION

On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) and On-Board Diagnostic generation I (OBD I) system’s oxygen sensor (O2S) has been a major component within an electronic powertrain control system. In those systems, the upstream (ahead of catalytic converter) O2S sensor is used to detect air/fuel ratios ahead of the catalytic converter.

With OBD II, the system now uses an additional oxygen sensor that is placed downstream of the catalytic converter. The addition of a downstream oxygen sensor enables the PCM to perform a catalytic converter efficiency test. As a result of OBD II's downstream oxygen sensors, vehicle equipment may include many oxygen sensors on a vehicle; for example, a vehicle with dual exhaust and two separate catalytic converters can have four O2 sensors.

Using F4: O2S Information a text based description of expected O2S locations, nomenclature, type used, plus how to inspect, torque, and remove and replace O2Ss is displayed.

6.0 DIAGNOSTIC DATA PARAMETERS

The following are the generic diagnostic data parameters defined by the SAE for OBD II vehicles. Not all parameters are displayed for all vehicles. Prior to displaying data, the tester queries the vehicle to determine which parameters are available for that vehicle.

AIR STATUS

Air Status displays information about the OBD II system’s commanded secondary or auxiliary air injection diverter valve position. The possible states are diverting secondary air upstream of the first catalytic converter (UPSTRM), downstream of the first catalytic converter (DNSTRM), or venting to the atmosphere (ATM/OFF). RSRVD is applicable for future applications.

ECT (°)

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is an analog input to the ECU. This parameter provides a temperature indication of engine coolant near the ECT sensor. ECT sensors can be located in the intake manifold, cylinder head, or water pump housing. Typical ECT is 200 °F (warm engine at idle). Note that the (°) in parenthesis indicates the parameter is temperature-related.

OPEN LOOP/CLOSED LOOP

STATES

OL-DRIVE/OL-FAULT/CL-FAULT/

RESERVED/UNUSED

Fuel Status represents fuel control status of the feedback loop between the vehicle ECU and the oxygen sensor. Fuel Status can be displayed for both Bank 1 and Bank 2. If only Bank 1 is used for fuel control, FUEL STATUS 2 is displayed as UNUSED. The states of Fuel Status can be Open Loop, Closed Loop, Open Loop due to vehicle being driven at wide open throttle or coasting (OL-DRIVE), Open Loop due to a fault with the OBD II system (OL-FAULT), Closed Loop with only one oxygen sensor being used for fuel control and a fault with at least one oxygen sensor (CL-FAULT), or a display of a reserved status (RESERVED), which is used for future support.

IAT (°)

UNITS RANGE

°F -40 to +419

°C -40 to +215

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is an analog input to the ECU. This parameter provides a temperature indication of engine intake air temperature as it flows across the IAT sensor. IAT sensors can be located in the intake manifold, intake air plumbing, or airbox. Typical IAT is 140 °F (warm engine at idle). Note that the (°) in parenthesis indicates the parameter is temperature related.

IGN. TIMING

UNITS RANGE

° -64 to +64

Spark Advance (IGN. TIMING) is the amount of ignition electronic spark advance that the ECU is currently commanding. The amount of ignition spark advance is based on several inputs to the ECU (engine load, throttle angle, engine temperature, etc.) and a lookup table in the ECU’s memory. For OBD II systems, Spark Advance should be the timing advance for cylinder number 1 and does not include mechanical advance (if applicable). Spark Advance increases with engine RPM, and a typical value is 10-20 degrees at idle (warm engine).

6-3

Page 85

GLOBAL OBD II WITH TOOLPAK

LT FT 1 LT FT 2

UNITS RANGE

% -100 to +100

Long-Term Fuel Trim (LT FT) is the measure of adaptive or feedback fuel correction strategy for the injection of fuel into the engine. Long-Term Fuel Trim represents the ECU’s steady long-term adjustment to fuel strategy determined from a lookup table in its memory. This parameter changes slowly over time (at a rate slower than Short-Term Fuel Trim) and varies with engine design and engine operating conditions. The numeric character in LT FT 1 and LT FT 2 define the cylinders that are grouped as a bank for fuel feedback correction. Bank 1 is the bank which contains cylinder number 1. Expected values for this parameter are ±10.0% (warm engine at idle).

MAF (R)

UNITS RANGE

lb/min 0 to 86

gm/s 0 to 655

Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is an input to the ECU and represents the amount of air that the engine is taking into the manifold, displayed as a flow rate (pounds per minute or grams per second). MAF flow rate will increase with engine load and is typically 4-7 gm/sec at idle or 17-20 gm/sec at 2500 RPM (warm engine). Note that the R in parenthesis indicates the parameter is rate-related.

MAP (P)

UNITS RANGE

kPa 0 to 255

inHg 0 to 75

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is a measure of the pressure within the intake manifold relative to atmospheric pressure. Depending on MAP sensor design, a frequency or analog output signal can be generated by a MAP sensor for input to the vehicle ECU. Atmospheric pressure equals the addition of manifold and vacuum pressures. MAP pressure increases with engine load and depending on altitude is typically 40 kPa at idle (warm engine, at sea level). Note that the P in parenthesis indicates the parameter is pressure-related.

MIL STATUS

STATES

OFF/ON

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Status is an indication of the current MIL state. If no emission-related faults exist, the MIL will be OFF. If a DTC is stored in the ECU due to a system fault or the vehicle is operated in a condition that causes tailpipe emissions to exceed 1.5 times the allowed value for that vehicle, the MIL will be ON. In most cases, if a hard fault exists, the MIL will remain illuminated. Also, the MIL can illuminate then extinguish while driving the vehicle (which means the vehicle exceeded tailpipe emission standards).

OBD CERT.

STATES

OBD II, OBD, OBD2/OBD,

OBD I, NO OBD

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Certification displays the level of OBD that the vehicle ECU is certified to. The states of OBD certification can be to OBD II (California Air Resources Board) requirements, OBD (federal) requirements, OBD II and OBD requirements, OBD I requirements, or No OBD requirements. This information can be helpful when determining certification and ordering parts.

UNITS RANGE

Volts 0 to 1.25

Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Bx Sx is the output voltage of the O2S that is input to the ECU. The O2S signal is a measure of the oxygen content in the exhaust emission gases that surround the sensor tip and is a primary input to the ECU. Once the O2S is warmed up (>500 °F), its output voltage will fluctuate above and below a threshold of 0.450 volts. Values greater than

0.450v indicate a rich condition, while values less than 0.450v indicate a lean

condition. If the O2S has not achieved its normal operating temperature, its value may remain at 0.450v. Associated with the OBD II system and the parameter label are “Bx” and “Sx.” Bx refers to Bank 1 or 2 and Sx refers to the sensor in positions 1, 2, 3, or 4. Refer to APPENDIX B: OBD II OXYGEN SENSOR LOCATION INFORMA

scription of the O2S naming convention.

Short-Term Fuel Trim (ST FT) is the measure of adaptive or feedback fuel correction strategy for the injection of fuel into the engine. Short-Term Fuel Trim represents the ECU’s dynamic short-term adjustment to fuel strategy determined from a lookup table in its memory. This parameter is continually changing over time (at a rate faster than Long-Term Fuel Trim) and varies with engine design and engine operating conditions. The numeric character in ST FT 1 and ST FT 2 defines the cylinders that are grouped as a bank for fuel feedback correction. Bank 1 is the bank which contains cylinder number

1. Expected values for this parameter can be ±2.0% (warm engine at idle).

STORED DTCS

UNITS RANGE

none 0 to 127

Stored DTCs is the number of emission-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that have been stored in the reporting ECU. (For OBD II systems, there can be multiple OBD II-compliant ECUs. Also, more than one ECU can report more than one stored DTC.) Therefore, the number of stored DTCs refers to the ECU whose data is currently being displayed. Remember also that OBD II DTCs are 5 characters and are broken into system categories:

System: Pxxxx=Powertrain

Bxxxx=Body Cxxxx=Chassis

Category: x0100 to x0999=SAE-defined DTCs

x1000 or greater=Manufacturer-defined DTCs

TPS (%)

UNITS RANGE

% 0 to 100

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is an input to the ECU and provides information about throttle plate opening. For OBD II systems, TPS voltage is converted by the ECU and displayed as a relative or absolute throttle opening value. Therefore, this indicates how much the throttle is opened off its throttle stop and not in relation to a zero voltage level. TPS percentage changes with the movement of the accelerator pedal and should display 020% at idle to above 80% at Wide Open Throttle.

VEHICLE SPEED

UNITS RANGE

MPH 0 to 158

km/h 0 to 255

Vehicle Speed is an indication of vehicle speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour. The ECU uses vehicle speed to make determinations about current engine operating conditions and the

operation of various engine

management system output components.

A: UNDERSTANDING OBD II

WHAT IS OBD II?

The California Air Resource Board (CARB) requires that, by model year 1996, all vehicles sold in California (under 8500 GVWR) contain a certain minimum “On-Board Diagnostic” capability to diagnose emissions-related failures of the engine control system. These diagnostic requirements have been designated as OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics, Phase II) with a goal of monitoring “all of the emissions-related components on-board the vehicle for proper operation.” CARB’s intent with the OBD II program is to “permit the State’s Inspection and Maintenance Program to evolve into a check of the on-board computer for the presence of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs); under the hood and tailpipe inspections would no longer be required.”

CARB has left the task of defining the Standards and Recommended Practices needed to implement their OBD II requirements to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The SAE committees that define these documents are made up of worldwide representatives from the vehicle manufacturers, tool manufacturers, service industry, and regulatory agencies, plus other related automotive disciplines. The glossary in Appendix D contains a brief description of the SAE “J” documents which provide these definitions.

Part of the OBD II program is for the vehicle to provide a standard interface for off-board diagnostic test equipment. This standard interface includes a standard test connector (referred to as the J1962 connector), a standard communication protocol (SAE J1850 or ISO 9141-2), and a standard set of diagnostic test modes (defined by SAE J1979).

In addition to defining the California-mandated emissions testing requirements, OBD II satisfies the EPA’s federal OBD testing requirements through 1998. Therefore, equipment used to access the vehicle’s OBD II data can also be used to test vehicles under the federal OBD requirements which are in the process of being implemented in some states.

OBD II SCAN TOOL

Part of the intent of CARB’s OBD II program is that a single diagnostic tester can be used to read the diagnostic information from any OBD II-compliant vehicle. A tester which satisfies this requirement can be designated as an OBD II Scan Tool and is defined by the SAE document J1978. One of the requirements of the OBD II Scan Tool is that it has to work with any OBD IIcompliant vehicle and be able to automatically determine all information required to communicate with the vehicle. The operator does not enter any vehicle-specific information such as the vehicle manufacturer, model year, or engine. The OBD II Scan Tool determines what protocol the vehicle uses, what diagnostic parameters can be read from the vehicle, and what tests are supported by the vehicle.

The SAE Recommended Practice J1978 defines the basic requirements for an OBD II Scan Tool. SAE Recommended Practice J1979 defines the test modes used by both the vehicle and the OBD II Scan Tool to access vehicle information and functions. The following test modes are required for a basic OBD II Scan Tool:

• Display Current Diagnostic Data Parameters (J1979, Mode 1).

• Display Diagnostic Trouble Codes, DTCs (J1979, Mode 3).

• Display Freeze Frame Data captured by the vehicle along with a DTC (J1979, Mode 2).

• Clear DTCs, Freeze Frame Data, and any other diagnostic information from the on-board controller’s memory (J1979, Mode 4).

• Display results of Oxygen Sensor Monitoring Tests (J1979, Mode 5).

• Display results of on-board monitoring tests, both Continuous and NonContinuous (J1979, Modes 6 and 7).

• Display status of the vehicle’s on-board Readiness Tests.

In addition to these required OBD II Scan Tool functions, the Vetronix testers provide a number of enhancements to the basic OBD II diagnostic functions:

• Road test support through the capture of sequences of data parameters (Snapshot mode).

• User-selectable parameter list allowing the user to trade off update rate for amount of data.

• Print data parameters.

• Displays results for control of on-board system, test, or component (J1979, Mode 8).

• Displays vehicle specific information such as VIN and calibration numbers (J1979, Mode 9).

OBD II COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

One of the OBD II requirements is that the vehicle contain a standard serial communication link to off-board test equipment. This “standard” communication link turns out to be four separate links, two defined by the SAE and two defined by ISO:

• J1850 10.4K VPW Protocol Uses a single-wire 7-volt bus communicating at 10,400 bits/second using Variable Pulse Width (VPW) data encoding.

• J1850 41.6K PWM Protocol Uses a two-wire 5-volt bus communicating at 41,600 bits/ second using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) data encoding.

• ISO 9141- 2 Protocol Uses a single-wire 12-volt bus communicating at 10,400 bits/second using UART data encoding.

• Keyword Protocol 2000 New European communication protocol (ISO 14230-4) using same UART data encoding as the ISO 9141-2 protocol.

A vehicle manufacturer can satisfy the OBD II requirements by implementing any one of the four protocols. The OBD II Scan Tool must provide support for all four protocols in order to allow it to communicate with all OBD II vehicles.

B: OBD II OXYGEN SENSOR LOCATION

INFORMATION

OBD II compliant engine management systems use a new naming convention for oxygen sensors (O2S). The need for this sensor convention was required because of the OBD II system’s use of a downstream O2S.

O2S location information is divided into cylinder bank and O2S location. Bank 1 contains the sensor that is downstream from the engine cylinder bank which has number 1 cylinder. Bank 2 contains the sensor opposite the cylinder Bank 1.

Additionally, O2S location is separated into upstream and downstream, relative to the catalytic converter. For inline engines and V-configuration engines with Y exhaust systems and one O2S ahead of the catalytic converter, O2S 1 is the upstream sensor and O2S 2 is the downstream sensor. This results in the naming convention bank/location. Examples are:

O2S B1 S1 = bank 1, upstream O2S B1 S2 = bank 1, downstream

O2 Sensor 1/1

O2 Sensor 1/2

O2 Sensor 1/1

O2 Sensor 1/2

B-1

Page 97

GLOBAL OBD II WITH TOOLPAK

O2 Sensor 2/2

O2 Sensor 2/1

O2 Sensor 1/1

O2 Sensor 1/2

For V-configuration engines with dual exhaust systems, there may be a separate upstream and downstream O2S for each bank. This will result in the following naming convention:

O2S B1 S1 = bank 1, upstream O2S B1 S2 = bank 1, downstream O2S B2 S1 = bank 2, upstream O2S B2 S2 = bank 2, downstream

On some V-configuration engines with 2 upstream O2S, there may be an O2S 3. O2S 3 is the downstream O2S after the catalytic converter. This configuration may have a third O2S ahead of the catalytic converter and results in the following naming convention:

O2S B1 S1 = bank 1, upstream O2S B1 S2 = bank 1, upstream O2S B2 S1 = bank 2, upstream O2S B1 S3 = bank 1, downstream

O2 Sensor 2/1O2 Sensor 1/1

O2 Sensor 1/2

O2 Sensor 1/3

Together, these conventions are all used to identify the O2S that may be causing a DTC or producing a faulty signal. The O2S naming conventions shown here are consistent with J1979. Please consult the appropriate service manual for more information on the vehicle that you are working on.

C: DEFINITION OF CODE TYPE

The Asian Imports application cartridge uses five description for code types, which are Auto, Manual, ECU LED, Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) codes, or OBDII DTCs.

Autocodes Term used when tester can read codes from the vehicle

ECU automatically, via the data link connector. Used when vehicle is supported with F2: DTC.

Mancodes Term used when tester provides information on the tester

display about how to read codes from vehicle ECU, and there is no connection to the vehicle via a diagnostic connector. Equipment used to manually read DTCs includes single wire jumper, analog voltmeter, ECU LED, or Mastertech oscilloscope function. Used when vehicle is supported with F1: DTC ENTRY.

ECU LED Term used when tester provides information the on tester

display about how to read ECU codes from vehicle ECU LED, and there is no connection to the vehicle via a diagnostic connector. Equipment used to manually read DTCs includes single wire jumper. Used when vehicle is supported with F1: DTC ENTRY.

MILcodes Term used when tester provides information the on tester

display about how to read ECU codes from vehicle MIL, and there is no connection to the vehicle via a diagnostic connector. Equipment used to manually read DTCs includes single wire jumper. Used when vehicle is supported with F1: DTC ENTRY.

OBD II DTC Term used to describe a powertrain code that can be read

from a vehicle ECU automatically, via the data link connector. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has defined a standardized set of five-character, alpha-numeric DTCs which can be read from an ECU by scantool. These DTCs are only available on OBD II compliant vehicles.
