Getting Started 1-800-697-2533 Introduction to On-Board Diagnostics OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics version 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 USA were OBD II compliant. ✓ Technicians now can use the same tool to test any OBD II compliant vehicle without special adapters. SAE established guidelines that provide: ❒ A universal connector, called the Data Link Connector ❒ ❒ ❒ ❒ ❒ ❒ (DLC), with dedicated pin assignments. A standard location for the Data Link Connector (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 fault occurs. Expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a condition occurs that affects vehicle emissions. Ability to clear stored codes from vehicles memory with 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. • 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. Getting Started 1-3 Data Link Connector (DLC) The AutoScanner® uses a Data Link Connector (DLC) to communicate with the vehicle’s control module. ✓ Data Link Connector Location. ❒ Under dashboard on driver side of vehicle. ❒ If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling where the connector can be found.

To guarantee no faults make sure all monitors are “ok” or “n/a” and no DTC’s exist. During normal driving conditions, the vehicle’s computer scans the emission system. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor has specific driving conditions and time required), the computer’s "monitors" will decide if the vehicles emission system is working correctly or not as well as detecting out of range values. When the "monitor’s" status is: • "ok" - vehicle was driven enough to complete the monitor. • "inc" (Incomplete) - vehicle was not driven enough to complete the monitor. • "n/a" (Not Applicable) - vehicle does not support that monitor. ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Some states MAY NOT require all monitors listed to be Ready to pass the emissions test. Check with state testing site for exact requirements. All states will fail a vehicle that has the MIL Light lit at time of test. Refer to the vehicles service manual for the drive cycle operation.

The system EGR and Cam Shafts injects exhaust gases into the intake manifold to reduce these gases at the tailpipe. O2S: Oxygen Sensor. Generates a voltage of 0.6 to 1.0 volts when the exhaust gas is rich (low oxygen content). The voltage changes to 0.4 volts or less when the exhaust gas is lean (high oxygen content). This sensor only operates after it reaches a temperature of approximately 349ºC (660ºF). O2 sensors are usually found both upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter. The PCM uses these sensors to fine tune the air-fuel ratio and to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter. See Bank 1, Bank 2, Sensor 1, Sensor 2. OBD II: On-Board Diagnostics, Second Generation. OBD II is a U.S. Government-mandated standard requiring all cars and light trucks to have a common data connector, connector location, communication protocol, DTCs and code definitions. OBD II first appeared on vehicles in late 1994, and is required to be present on all cars sold in the US after January 1, 1996. ODM: Output Device Monitor. A-7 Open Loop (OL): A control system mode that does not monitor the output to verify if the desired achieved results. A fuel delivery system will usually operate in open loop mode during cold engine warm-up because the oxygen sensors are not yet ready to send a signal. Without the oxygen sensor signal, the computer cannot check the actual results of combustion. PCM: Powertrain Control Module. The “brains” of the engine control system and transmission control system housed in a metal box with a number of sensors and actuators connected via a wiring harness. Its job is to control fuel delivery, idle speed, spark advance timing, and emission systems. The PCM receives information from sensors, then energizes various actuators to control the engine. The ECM (Engine Control Module) is another name used for the PCM. Pending Codes: Also referred to as Continuous Memory codes and Maturing Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Pending Codes may be set by emission related powertrain components and systems. If the fault does not occur after a certain number of drive cycles, memory erases the code. PID: Parameter Identification. Identifies an address in memory which contains vehicle operating information. PNP: Park/Neutral Position. This is a switch that tells the PCM when the gear shift lever is in the Park or Neutral position. When in Park or Neutral, the PCM will operate the engine in an “idle” mode.

Purge Solenoid: Controls the flow of fuel vapors from the carbon canister to the intake manifold. The canister collects vapors evaporating from the fuel tank, preventing them from escaping to the atmosphere and causing pollution. During warm engine cruise conditions, the PCM energizes the Purge Solenoid so the trapped vapors are drawn into the engine and burned. PWM: Pulse Width Modulated. A-8 QDM: Quad Driver Module. RAM: Random Access Memory. Relay: An electromechanical device in which connections in one circuit are switched. Reluctance Sensor: A type of sensor typically used to measure crankshaft or camshaft Speed and/or position, driveshaft speed, and wheel speed. ROM: Read-Only Memory.

SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers. Scan Tool: A device that interfaces and communicates Diagnostic Trouble Codes, plus other valuable information for troubleshooting a vehicle through a data link. SDM: Sensing and Diagnostic Module. Sensor x: A standard term used to identify the location of oxygen sensors. Sensor 1 is located upstream of the catalytic converter. See O2S, Bank 1, Bank 2. Sensor: Any device that reports information to the PCM. The job of the sensor is to convert a parameter such as engine temperature into an electrical signal that the PCM can understand. SFI or SEFI: Sequential Fuel Injection or Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection. A fuel injection system that uses one or more injectors for each cylinder. The injectors are mounted in the intake manifold and are fired individually. Solenoid: A device consisting of an electrical coil which when energized, produces a magnetic field in a plunger, which is pulled to a central position. A solenoid may be used as an actuator in a valve or switch. A-9 STFT: Short Term Fuel Trim. STS: Service Throttle Soon. TAC: Throttle Actuator Control. TBI: Throttle Body Injection. A fuel injection system having one or more injectors mounted in a centrally located throttle body, as opposed to positioning the injectors close to an intake valve port. Central Fuel Injection (CFI) is another name for TBI on some vehicles. TCC: Torque Converter Clutch. TCM: Transmission Control Module. TCS: Traction Control System for PCM and brakes. TDC: Top Dead Center. When a piston is at its uppermost position in the cylinder. TFP: Transmission Fluid Pressure. TFT: Transmission Fluid Temperature (Sensor.) Throttle Body: A device which performs the same function as a carburetor in a fuel injection system. On a throttle body injection (TBI) system, the throttle body is both the air door and the location of the fuel injectors. On port fuel injection systems (PFI, MPFI, SFI, etc.), the throttle body is simply an air door. Injectors receive fuel as each intake port activates. In each case, the throttle body is attached to the accelerator pedal. TPS: Throttle Position Sensor. Potentiometer-type sensor connected to the throttle shaft. Its voltage signal output increases as the throttle opens. The PCM uses this signal to control many systems such as idle speed, spark advance, fuel delivery, etc. A-10 Traction Assist: Assist in traction with brakes only. TTS: Transmission Temperature Sensor. A resistance sensor mounted in the transmission housing in contact with the transmission fluid. It sends a voltage signal to the PCM indicating the temperature of the transmission. VECI: Vehicle Emission Control Information. A decal located in the engine compartment containing information about the emission control systems found on the vehicle. The VECI is the authoritative source for determining whether a vehicle is OBD II compliant. VIN: Vehicle Identification Number. This is the factory-assigned vehicle serial number. This number is stamped on a number of locations throughout the vehicle, but the most prominent location is on top of the dashboard on the driver’s side, visible from outside the car. The VIN includes information about the car, including where it was built, body and engine codes, options, and a sequential build number. VSS: Vehicle Speed Sensor. Sends a frequency signal to the PCM. The frequency increases as the vehicle moves faster to give the PCM vehicle speed information used to determine shift points, engine load, and cruise control functions. VTD: Vehicle Theft Deterrent. Warm-up Cycle: Warm-up cycle is when the engine coolant temperature rises at least 40 degrees above that at engine start up. WOT: Wide-Open Throttle. The vehicle operating condition brought about when the throttle is completely (or nearly) open. The PCM will typically deliver extra fuel to the engine and de-energize the A/C compressor at this time for acceleration purposes. The PCM uses a switch or the Throttle Position Sensor to identify the WOT condition. A-11 A-12 Appendix B – Global PID’s Global PID Definitions All global parameter identification data (PID) listed were verified on actual vehicles to guarantee accuracy. It is possible that some newer vehicles may contain data different from that listed. Always refer to vehicle service manual for manufacturer specific PIDs. Remember, always refer to a vehicle service manual for detailed diagnostic procedures when troubleshooting PID values. Types of Data Parameters INPUT: These data parameters are obtained from sensor circuit outputs. Sensor circuit outputs are inputs to vehicles PCM. For example, if Oxygen Sensor circuit was generating a 400mV signal, then AutoScanner® would read O2S (v).40. OUTPUT: These data parameters are outputs or commands that come directly from computer module(s). For example, the ignition spark advance is controlled by PCM, on most vehicles, monitoring this PID shows spark output from PCM. CALCULATED VALUE: These data parameters are calculated after analyzing various inputs to the vehicles computer module(s). For example, the engine load. The PCM calculates this from sensor inputs and displays in a percentage. PCM VALUE: Information that is stored in the computer module(s) memory and determined to be useful to service technician. An example of this is TROUBLE CODE values, the DTC that caused a freeze frame capture. B-1 Global Data Parameter List: NOTE: Several different causes can have the same parameter indication.
