OBD OverviewOBD stands for “On-Board Diagnostics.”Computer-based system designed to control emissionsProvides early warning through MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light).


OBD Overview

OBD system


History of OBDFirst introduced in 1981 by GMBecame requirement in CA in 1988Shortcomings of OBD-I

Only a few parameters are monitoredVague standards resulted in many different implementations (ALDL, GMLAN, several versions of ISO9141, etc.) Communication protocol information is proprietary


History of OBDOBD-II: OBD, second generationIntroduced in 1994Required on all MY1996+ vehiclesMore sophisticated – monitors many different engine parametersStandards are available from SAE and ISOAccepted spellings: OBDII, OBD-II, OBD-2Often misspelled as “ODB” (yuk!)

OBD-IIOBD-II Compliance (US only)

All 1996+ cars and light trucks (<8,500 lbs)All 2004+ medium duty vehicles (<14,000 lbs)Some 1994 and 1995 models with this sticker:


OBD-IIOBD-II Compliance outside the USA

A growing number of countries have adopted OBD legislation (JOBD, EOBD, etc)Varies greatly from country to countryLags behind the USGenerally more complicated than US legislation


OBD-IIJust five protocols are allowed:

SAE J1850 VPW (GM) SAE J1850 PWM (Ford) ISO9141-2 (imports, Chrysler)ISO14230-4 (Keyword Protocol 2000, 1998+) ISO15765-4 (CAN, introduced in 2004)

Starting with MY2008, all vehicles sold in the US are required to be equipped with ISO15765-4 (CAN)

OBD-IIIOBD-2 plus wireless; information wirelessly uploaded to DMV serversCan be done over cellular/satellite, DSRC, Bluetooth, WiFi (still being defined)Benefits:

Reduces emissions/catches problems earlySaves time and money

Drawbacks:Privacy concernsUpfront cost


OBD-IIIIs it a good idea?Doesn’t matter – it is already happening.FCC allocated 75 Mhz in the 5.9 Ghz band for vehicle communicationsGM’s OnStar system can be programmed to report OBD I/M data


OBD-IIIImplementation underway in the following states:

California (Continuous Testing Program)Nevada (pilot program, 110 vehicles)Oregon (5000 units, 2 of 15 antennas set up)Wisconsin (pilot program)Illinois (pilot program)Utah (proof of concept testing)

OBD Applications


OBD scan toolDevice used to retrieve information from the on-board diagnostic system

Types of scan toolsStand alonePC based

Getting at the Data


Stand-alone scan toolsAdvantages:

• Do not require a PCDisadvantages:

• Minimalistic interface• Fixed software• Higher end units

very expensive

Getting at the DataPC-based scan tools

Advantages:• Harnesses the power and economy of

scale of modern PCs • Large, easy-to-read screen• Unlimited storage for data logging


PC-based scan toolsAdvantages (continued):

• Wide selection of diagnostic software that can be easily updated

• Remote data acquisition• Fraction of the cost of comparable

stand-alone scan tools

–

Which scan tool is right for me?–

Depends on intended use

Code scanning: cheap code readerCasual user/do it yourself mechanic: PC-based scan tool with basic (free/inexpensive) software Professional mechanic: high-end stand-alone scan tool ($$$) or a PC-based scan tool with enhanced diagnostic software (less $)CarPC enthusiast: PC-based scan tool (USB or Bluetooth)

Getting at the Data


–

What should I look for in a scan tool?–

Questions to ask:

Is it compatible with my vehicle?What software is available?Which parameters are supported? (Modes 1 thru A are generic OBD) Does it support manufacturer-specific parameters?Is the software/hardware upgradeable?What connection options are available?
