What

What is

The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics or OBD I was introduced in early 1980's to control engine functions and diagnose engine problems by vehicle manufacturers. As the OBDI lacked standardization of protocols and interface, it allowed different interpretations among vehicle manufacturers. OBDII, the second generation On-Board Diagnostics, improved in both capability and standardization, is a system developed in mid 1990 ’ s by the Society Automotive Engineers (SAE) to standardize automotive electronic diagnosis. EOBD is European version of OBDII required in Europe since 2001. The OBDII standard specifies:

The Data Link Connector (DLC) is a standard 16-pin interface located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the passenger compartment. 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 where the DLC should have been located.

NOTE

NOTE On some Asian and European vehicles the DLC is located

behind the “ ashtray ” , which must be removed to access it, or on the far left corner of the dash. If the DLC cannot be found, consult

Diagnostic Trouble

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are faults stored by vehicle computers when problems that affect engine performance and emissions are detected. DTCs are used to help identify the cause of a trouble or troubles with a vehicle, and determine the fault location(s). DTCs consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. Please see below for the DTCs format and code types.
