WHAT IS OBD?

Craftsman 87702 1

WHAT IS OBD?

The Enhanced CanOBD2 Diagnostic Tool is designed to work on

all OBD2 compliant vehicles. All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars,

light trucks and SUVs) sold in the United States are OBD2

compliant.

One of the most exciting improvements in the

automobile industry was the addition of on-

board diagnostics (OBD) on vehicles, or in more

basic terms, the computer that activates the

vehicle’s “CHECK ENGINE” light. OBD1 was

designed to monitor manufacturer-specific

systems on vehicles built from 1981 to 1995.

Then came the development of OBD2, which is

on all 1996 and newer vehicles sold in the U.S. Like its predecessor,

OBD2 was adopted as part of a government mandate to lower vehicle

emissions. But what makes OBD2 unique is its universal application for

all late model cars and trucks - domestic and import. This sophisticated

program in the vehicle’s main computer system is designed to detect

failures in a range of systems, and can be accessed through a universal

OBD2 port, which is usually found under the dashboard. For all OBD

systems, if a problem is found, the computer turns on the “CHECK

ENGINE” light to warn the driver, and sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code

(DTC) to identify where the problem occurred. A special diagnostic tool,

such as the Enhanced CanOBD2 Diagnostic Tool, is required to retrieve

these codes, which consumers and professionals use as a starting point

for repairs.

The Enhanced CanOBD2 Diagnostic Tool provides the additional ability

to retrieve enhanced DTCs from most Chrysler/Jeep, Ford/Mazda,

GM/Isuzu, Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus vehicles, as well as Anti-

Lock Brake System (ABS) DTCs and vehicle information. The types of

enhanced data available depends on the vehicle make.

To learn more about vehicle Computer Control Systems and

OBD2, see COMPUTER ENGINE CONTROLS on page 15.

Safety Precautions

SAFETY FIRST!

Craftsman 87702 3

SAFETY FIRST!

This manual describes common test procedures used

by experienced service technicians. Many test procedures

require precautions to avoid accidents that can result in

personal injury, and/or damage to your vehicle or test

equipment. Always read your vehicle's service manual and

follow its safety precautions before and during any test or

service procedure. ALWAYS observe the following general

safety precautions:

When an engine is running, it produces carbon monoxide,

a toxic and poisonous gas. To prevent serious injury or

death from carbon monoxide poisoning, operate the

vehicle ONLY in a well-ventilated area.

To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot

or caustic liquids, always wear approved safety eye

protection.

When an engine is running, many parts (such as the

coolant fan, pulleys, fan belt etc.) turn at high speed. To

avoid serious injury, always be aware of moving parts.

Keep a safe distance from these parts as well as other

potentially moving objects.

Engine parts become very hot when the engine is running.

To prevent severe burns, avoid contact with hot engine

parts.

Before starting an engine for testing or troubleshooting,

make sure the parking brake is engaged. Put the

transmission in park (for automatic transmission) or

neutral (for manual transmission). Block the drive wheels

with suitable blocks.

Connecting or disconnecting test equipment when the

ignition is ON can damage test equipment and the

vehicle's electronic components. Turn the ignition OFF

before connecting the Diagnostic Tool to or disconnecting

the Diagnostic Tool from the vehicle’s Data Link Connector

(DLC).

To avoid personal injury, instrument damage and/or

damage to your vehicle; do not use the OBD2 Diagnostic

Tool before reading this manual.

Safety Precautions

SAFETY FIRST!

4 Craftsman 87702

To prevent damage to the on-board computer when taking

vehicle electrical measurements, always use a digital

multimeter with at least 10 MegOhms of impedance.

Fuel and battery vapors are highly flammable. To prevent

an explosion, keep all sparks, heated items and open

flames away from the battery and fuel / fuel vapors. DO

NOT SMOKE NEAR THE VEHICLE DURING TESTING.

Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry when working on an

engine. Loose clothing can become caught in the fan,

pulleys, belts, etc. Jewelry is highly conductive, and can

cause a severe burn if it makes contact between a power

source and ground.

The Enhanced CanOBD2 Diagnostic Tool is designed to work on all

OBD2 compliant vehicles. All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light

trucks) sold in the United States are OBD2 compliant.

Federal law requires that all 1996 and newer cars and light

trucks sold in the United States must be OBD2 compliant; this

includes all Domestic, Asian and European vehicles.

Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles are OBD2 compliant. To find out if a

1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD2 compliant, check the following:

1. The Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label. This

label is located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If

the vehicle is OBD2 compliant, the label will state “OBD II

Certified.”

2. Government Regulations require that all

OBD2 compliant vehicles must have a

“common” sixteen-pin Data Link

Connector (DLC).

Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles have 16-pin connectors but are

not OBD2 compliant. Only those vehicles with a Vehicle

Emissions Control Label stating “OBD II Certified” are OBD2

compliant.

Data Link Connector (DLC) Location

The 16-pin DLC is usually

located under the instrument

panel (dash), within 12 inches

(300 mm) of center of the panel,

on the driver’s side of most

vehicles. It should be easily

accessible and visible from a

kneeling position outside the

vehicle with the door open.

COMPUTER ENGINE CONTROLS

The Introduction of Electronic Engine Controls

As a result of increased air pollution (smog) in large cities,

such as Los Angeles, the California Air Resources Board

(CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

set new regulations and air pollution standards to deal with

the problem. To further complicate matters, the energy crisis of

the early 1970s caused a sharp increase in fuel prices over a

short period. As a result, vehicle manufacturers were not only

required to comply with the new emissions standards, they also

had to make their vehicles more fuel-efficient. Most vehicles

were required to meet a miles-per-gallon (MPG) standard set by the U.S.

Federal Government.

Precise fuel delivery and spark timing are needed to reduce vehicle

emissions. Mechanical engine controls in use at the time (such as

ignition points, mechanical spark advance and the carburetor)

responded too slowly to driving conditions to properly control fuel

delivery and spark timing. This made it difficult for vehicle manufacturers

to meet the new standards.

A new Engine Control System had to be designed and integrated with

the engine controls to meet the stricter standards. The new system had

to:

 Respond instantly to supply the proper mixture of air and fuel for any

driving condition (idle, cruising, low-speed driving, high-speed

driving, etc.).

 Calculate instantly the best time to “ignite” the air/fuel mixture for

maximum engine efficiency.

 Perform both these tasks without affecting vehicle performance or

fuel economy.

Vehicle Computer Control Systems can perform millions of calculations

each second. This makes them an ideal substitute for the slower

mechanical engine controls. By switching from mechanical to electronic

engine controls, vehicle manufacturers are able to control fuel delivery

and spark timing more precisely. Some newer Computer Control

Systems also provide control over other vehicle functions, such as

transmission, brakes, charging, body, and suspension systems.

Electronic Computer Control Systems make it possible

for vehicle manufacturers to comply with the tougher

emissions and fuel efficiency standards mandated by

State and Federal Governments.

Onboard Diagnostics

COMPUTER ENGINE CONTROLS

12 Craftsman 87702

The Basic Engine Computer Control System

The on-board computer is the heart of the Computer

Control System. The computer contains several programs

with preset reference values for air/fuel ratio, spark or

ignition timing, injector pulse width, engine speed, etc.

Separate values are provided for various driving conditions,

such as idle, low speed driving, high-speed driving, low load,

or high load. The preset reference values represent the ideal

air/fuel mixture, spark timing, transmission gear selection,

etc., for any driving condition. These values are programmed

by the vehicle manufacturer, and are specific to each vehicle model.

Most on-board computers are located inside the vehicle behind the dashboard,

under the passenger’s or driver’s seat, or behind the right kick panel. However,

some manufacturers may still position it in the engine compartment.

Vehicle sensors, switches, and actuators are located throughout the

engine, and are connected by electrical wiring to the on-board computer.

These devices include oxygen sensors, coolant temperature sensors,

throttle position sensors, fuel injectors, etc. Sensors and switches are

input devices. They provide signals representing current engine

operating conditions to the computer. Actuators are output devices. They

perform actions in response to commands received from the computer.

The on-board computer receives information inputs from sensors and

switches located throughout the engine. These devices monitor critical

engine conditions such as coolant temperature, engine speed, engine

load, throttle position, air/fuel ratio etc.

The computer compares the values received from these sensors with its

preset reference values, and makes corrective actions as needed so

that the sensor values always match the preset reference values for the

current driving condition. The computer makes adjustments by

commanding other devices such as the fuel injectors, idle air control,

EGR valve or Ignition Module to perform these actions.

The Computer Control System consists of an on-board

computer and several related control devices (sensors,

switches, and actuators).

Vehicle operating conditions are constantly changing. The computer

continuously makes adjustments or corrections (especially to the air/fuel

mixture and spark timing) to keep all the engine systems operating

within the preset reference values.

On-Board Diagnostics - First Generation (OBD1)

Beginning in 1988, California’s Air Resources Board

(CARB), and later the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

required vehicle manufacturers to include a self-diagnostic

program in their on-board computers. The program would be

capable of identifying emissions-related faults in a system. The

first generation of Onboard Diagnostics came to be known as

OBD1.

OBD1 is a set of self-testing and diagnostic instructions

programmed into the vehicle’s on-board computer. The

programs are specifically designed to detect failures in the sensors,

actuators, switches and wiring of the various vehicle emissions-related

systems. If the computer detects a failure in any of these components or

systems, it lights an indicator on the dashboard to alert the driver. The

indicator lights only when an emissions-related problem is detected.

The computer also assigns a numeric code for each specific problem

that it detects, and stores these codes in its memory for later retrieval.

These codes can be retrieved from the computer’s memory with the use

of a “Diagnostic Tool” or a “Scan Tool.”

On-Board Diagnostics - Second Generation (OBD2)

In addition to performing all the

functions of the OBD1 System, the

OBD2 System has been enhanced with

new Diagnostic Programs. These

programs closely monitor the functions

of various emissions-related compo-

nents and systems (as well as other

systems) and make this information readily available (with

the proper equipment) to the technician for evaluation.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) conducted

studies on OBD1 equipped vehicles. The information that was

gathered from these studies showed the following:

 A large number of vehicles had deteriorating or degraded

emissions-related components. These components were

causing an increase in emissions.

With the exception of some 1994 and 1995 vehicles,

most vehicles from 1982 to 1995 are equipped with

some type of first generation On-Board Diagnostics.

The OBD2 System is

an enhancement of the

OBD1 System.

Onboard Diagnostics

COMPUTER ENGINE CONTROLS

14 Craftsman 87702

 Because OBD1 systems only detect failed components, the

degraded components were not setting codes.

 Some emissions problems related to degraded components only

occur when the vehicle is being driven under a load. The emission

checks being conducted at the time were not performed under

simulated driving conditions. As a result, a significant number of

vehicles with degraded components were passing Emissions Tests.

 Codes, code definitions, diagnostic connectors, communication

protocols and emissions terminology were different for each

manufacturer. This caused confusion for the technicians working on

different make and model vehicles.

To address the problems made evident by this study, CARB and the

EPA passed new laws and standardization requirements. These laws

required that vehicle manufacturers to equip their new vehicles with

devices capable of meeting all of the new emissions standards and

regulations. It was also decided that an enhanced on-board diagnostic

system, capable of addressing all of these problems, was needed. This

new system is known as “On-Board Diagnostics Generation Two

(OBD2).” The primary objective of the OBD2 system is to comply with

the latest regulations and emissions standards established by CARB

and the EPA.

The Main Objectives of the OBD2 System are:

 To detect degraded and/or failed emissions-related components or

systems that could cause tailpipe emissions to exceed by 1.5 times

the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) standard.

 To expand emissions-related system monitoring. This includes a set

of computer run diagnostics called Monitors. Monitors perform

diagnostics and testing to verify that all emissions-related

components and/or systems are operating correctly and within the

manufacturer’s specifications.

 To use a standardized Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) in all

vehicles. (Before OBD2, DLCs were of different shapes and sizes.)

 To standardize the code numbers, code definitions and language

used to describe faults. (Before OBD2, each vehicle manufacturer

used their own code numbers, code definitions and language to

describe the same faults.)

 To expand the operation of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

 To standardize communication procedures and protocols between

the diagnostic equipment (Scan Tools, Code Readers, etc.) and the

vehicle’s on-board computer.

OBD2 Terminology

The following terms and their definitions are related to OBD2 systems.

Read and reference this list as needed to aid in the understanding of

OBD2 systems.

Onboard Diagnostics

COMPUTER ENGINE CONTROLS

Craftsman 87702 15

 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) - The PCM is the OBD2

accepted term for the vehicle’s “on-board computer.” In addition

to controlling the engine management and emissions systems,

the PCM also participates in controlling the powertrain

(transmission) operation. Most PCMs also have the ability to

communicate with other computers on the vehicle (ABS, ride

control, body, etc.).

 Monitor - Monitors are “diagnostic routines” programmed into the

PCM. The PCM utilizes these programs to run diagnostic tests, and

to monitor operation of the vehicle’s emissions-related components

or systems to ensure they are operating correctly and within the

vehicle’s manufacturer specifications. Currently, up to fifteen

Monitors are used in OBD2 systems. Additional Monitors will be

added as the OBD2 system is further developed.

Not all vehicles support all fifteen Monitors.

 Enabling Criteria - Each Monitor is designed to test and monitor

the operation of a specific part of the vehicle’s emissions system

(EGR system, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, etc.). A specific

set of “conditions” or “driving procedures” must be met before the

computer can command a Monitor to run tests on its related system.

These “conditions” are known as “Enabling Criteria.” The

requirements and procedures vary for each Monitor. Some Monitors

only require the ignition key to be turned “On” for them to run and

complete their diagnostic testing. Others may require a set of

complex procedures, such as, starting the vehicle when cold,

bringing it to operating temperature, and driving the vehicle under

specific conditions before the Monitor can run and complete its

diagnostic testing.

 Monitor Has/Has Not Run - The terms “Monitor has run” or

“Monitor has not run” are used throughout this manual. “Monitor

has run,” means the PCM has commanded a particular Monitor to

perform the required diagnostic testing on a system to ensure the

system is operating correctly (within factory specifications). The term

“Monitor has not run” means the PCM has not yet commanded a

particular Monitor to perform diagnostic testing on its associated part

of the emissions system.

 Trip - A Trip for a particular Monitor requires that the vehicle is

being driven in such a way that all the required “Enabling Criteria”

for the Monitor to run and complete its diagnostic testing are met.

The “Trip Drive Cycle” for a particular Monitor begins when the

ignition key is turned “On.” It is successfully completed when all the

“Enabling Criteria” for the Monitor to run and complete its diagnostic

testing are met by the time the ignition key is turned “Off.” Since

each of the eleven monitors is designed to run diagnostics and

testing on a different part of the engine or emissions system, the

“Trip Drive Cycle” needed for each individual Monitor to run and

complete varies.

Onboard Diagnostics

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

16 Craftsman 87702

 OBD2 Drive Cycle - An OBD2 Drive Cycle is an extended set of

driving procedures that takes into consideration the various types of

driving conditions encountered in real life. These conditions may

include starting the vehicle when it is cold, driving the vehicle at a

steady speed (cruising), accelerating, etc. An OBD2 Drive Cycle

begins when the ignition key is turned “On” (when cold) and ends

when the vehicle has been driven in such a way as to have all the

“Enabling Criteria” met for all its applicable Monitors. Only those

trips that provide the Enabling Criteria for all Monitors applicable to

the vehicle to run and complete their individual diagnostic tests

qualify as an OBD2 Drive Cycle. OBD2 Drive Cycle requirements

vary from one model of vehicle to another. Vehicle manufacturers

set these procedures. Consult your vehicle’s service manual for

OBD2 Drive Cycle procedures.

Do not confuse a “Trip” Drive Cycle with an OBD2 Drive Cycle. A

“Trip” Drive Cycle provides the “Enabling Criteria” for one specific

Monitor to run and complete its diagnostic testing. An OBD2 Drive

Cycle must meet the “Enabling Criteria” for all Monitors on a

particular vehicle to run and complete their diagnostic testing.

 Warm-up Cycle - Vehicle operation after an engine off period where

engine temperature rises at least 40°F (22°C) from its temperature

before starting, and reaches at least 160°F (70°C). The PCM uses

warm-up cycles as a counter to automatically erase a specific code

and related data from its memory. When no faults related to the

original problem are detected within a specified number of warm-up

cycles, the code is erased automatically.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are

meant to guide you to the proper

service procedure in the vehicle’s

service manual. DO NOT replace parts

based only on DTCs without first

consulting the vehicle’s service manual

for proper testing procedures for that

particular system, circuit or component.

DTCs are alphanumeric codes that are used to identify a

problem that is present in any of the systems that are

monitored by the on-board computer (PCM). Each trouble

code has an assigned message that identifies the circuit,

component or system area where the problem was found.

OBD2 diagnostic trouble codes are made up of five characters:

 The 1st character is a letter (B, C, P or U). It identifies the

“main system” where the fault occurred (Body, Chassis, Powertrain,

or Network).

 The 2nd character is a numeric digit (0 thru 3). It identifies the

“type” of code (Generic or Manufacturer-Specific).

Generic DTCs are codes that are used by all vehicle manu-

facturers. The standards for generic DTCs, as well as their

definitions, are set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

Diagnostic Trouble

Codes (DTCs) are

codes that identify a

specific problem area.

Onboard Diagnostics

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

Craftsman 87702 17

Manufacturer-Specific DTCs are codes that are controlled by the

vehicle manufacturers. The Federal Government does not require

vehicle manufacturers to go beyond the standardized generic

DTCs in order to comply with the new OBD2 emissions standards.

However, manufacturers are free to expand beyond the

standardized codes to make their systems easier to diagnose.

 The 3rd character is a letter or a numeric digit (0 thru 9, A thru F).

It identifies the specific system or sub-system where the problem is

located.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

18 Craftsman 87702

DTCs and MIL Status

When the vehicle’s on-board computer detects

a failure in an emissions-related component or

system, the computer’s internal diagnostic

program assigns a diagnostic trouble code

(DTC) that points to the system (and subsystem)

where the fault was found. The diagnostic

program saves the code in the computer’s

memory. It records a “Freeze Frame” of condi-

tions present when the fault was found, and lights the Malfunction

Indicator Lamp (MIL). Some faults require detection for two trips in a row

before the MIL is turned on.

The “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” (MIL) is the accepted term

used to describe the lamp on the dashboard that lights to warn

the driver that an emissions-related fault has been found.

Some manufacturers may still call this lamp a “Check Engine”

or “Service Engine Soon” light.

There are two types of DTCs used for emissions-related faults: Type “A”

and Type “B.” Type “A” codes are “One-Trip” codes; Type “B” DTCs are

usually Two-Trip DTCs.

When a Type “A” DTC is found on the First Trip, the following events

take place:

 The computer commands the MIL “On” when the failure is first found.

 If the failure causes a severe misfire that may cause damage to the

catalytic converter, the MIL “flashes” once per second. The MIL

continues to flash as long as the condition exists. If the condition

that caused the MIL to flash is no longer present, the MIL will light

“steady” On.

 A DTC is saved in the computer’s memory for later retrieval.

 A “Freeze Frame” of the conditions present in the engine or emissions

system when the MIL was ordered “On” is saved in the computer’s

memory for later retrieval. This information shows fuel system status

(closed loop or open loop), engine load, coolant temperature, fuel trim

value, MAP vacuum, engine RPM and DTC priority.

When a Type “B” DTC is found on the First Trip, the following events

take place:

 The computer sets a Pending DTC, but the MIL is not ordered “On.”

“Freeze Frame” data may or may not be saved at this time

depending on manufacturer. The Pending DTC is saved in the

computer’s memory for later retrieval.

 If the failure is found on the second consecutive trip, the MIL is

ordered “On.” “Freeze Frame” data is saved in the computer’s

memory.

 If the failure is not found on the second Trip, the Pending DTC is

erased from the computer’s memory.

The MIL will stay lit for both Type “A” and Type “B” codes until one of

the following conditions occurs:

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

Craftsman 87702 19

 If the conditions that caused the MIL to light are no longer present

for the next three trips in a row, the computer automatically turns the

MIL “Off” if no other emissions-related faults are present. However,

the DTCs remain in the computer’s memory as a history code for 40

warm-up cycles (80 warm-up cycles for fuel and misfire faults). The

DTCs are automatically erased if the fault that caused them to be

set is not detected again during that period.

 Misfire and fuel system faults require three trips with “similar

conditions” before the MIL is turned “Off.” These are trips where the

engine load, RPM and temperature are similar to the conditions

present when the fault was first found.

After the MIL has been turned off, DTCs and Freeze Frame

data stay in the computer’s memory.

 Erasing the DTCs from the computer’s memory can also turn off the

MIL. See ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) on

page 49, before erasing codes from the computer’s memory. If a

Diagnostic Tool or Scan Tool is used to erase the codes, Freeze

Frame data will also be erased.

OBD2 MONITORS

To ensure the correct operation of the various emissions-related

components and systems, a diagnostic program was developed and

installed in the vehicle’s on-board computer. The program has several

procedures and diagnostic strategies. Each procedure or diagnostic

strategy is made to monitor the operation of, and run diagnostic tests on,

a specific emissions-related component or system. These tests ensure

the system is running correctly and is within the manufacturer’s

specifications. On OBD2 systems, these procedures and diagnostic

strategies are called “Monitors.”

Currently, fifteen Monitors are supported by OBD2 systems. Additional

monitors may be added as a result of Government regulations as the

OBD2 system grows and matures. Not all vehicles support all fifteen

Monitors. Additionally, some Monitors are supported by “spark ignition”

vehicles only, while others are supported by “compression ignition”

vehicles only.

Monitor operation is either “Continuous” or “Non-Continuous,”

depending on the specific monitor.

Continuous Monitors

Three of these Monitors are designed to constantly monitor their

associated components and/or systems for proper operation.

Continuous Monitors run constantly when the engine is running. The

Continuous Monitors are:

Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM)

Misfire Monitor

Fuel System Monitor

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

20 Craftsman 87702

Non-Continuous Monitors

The other twelve Monitors are “non-continuous” Monitors. “Non-

continuous” Monitors perform and complete their testing once per trip.

The “non-continuous” Monitors are:

Oxygen Sensor Monitor

Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor

Catalyst Monitor

Heated Catalyst Monitor

EGR System Monitor

EVAP System Monitor

Secondary Air System Monitor

The following Monitors became standard beginning in 2010.

The majority of vehicles produced before this time will not

support these Monitors

NMHC Monitor

NOx Adsorber Monitor

Boost Pressure System Monitor

Exhaust Gas Sensor Monitor

PM Filter Monitor

The following provides a brief explanation of the function of each Monitor:

Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM) - This Monitor

continuously checks all inputs and outputs from sensors,

actuators, switches and other devices that provide a signal to the

computer. The Monitor checks for shorts, opens, out of range value,

functionality and “rationality.”

Rationality: Each input signal is compared against all other

inputs and against information in the computer’s memory to see

if it makes sense under the current operating conditions.

Example: The signal from the throttle position sensor indicates

the vehicle is in a wide-open throttle condition, but the vehicle is

really at idle, and the idle condition is confirmed by the signals

from all other sensors. Based on the input data, the computer

determines that the signal from the throttle position sensor is not

rational (does not make sense when compared to the other

inputs). In this case, the signal would fail the rationality test.

The CCM is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles and

“compression ignition” vehicles. The CCM may be either a “One-Trip” or

a “Two-Trip” Monitor, depending on the component.

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

Craftsman 87702 21

Fuel System Monitor - This Monitor uses a Fuel System

Correction program, called Fuel Trim, inside the on-board

computer. Fuel Trim is a set of positive and negative values that

represent adding or subtracting fuel from the engine. This program is

used to correct for a lean (too much air/not enough fuel) or rich (too

much fuel/not enough air) air-fuel mixture. The program is designed to

add or subtract fuel, as needed, up to a certain percent. If the correction

needed is too large and exceeds the time and percent allowed by the

program, a fault is indicated by the computer.

The Fuel System Monitor is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles

and “compression ignition” vehicles. The Fuel System Monitor may be a

“One-Trip” or “Two-Trip” Monitor, depending on the severity of the

problem.

Misfire Monitor - This Monitor continuously checks for engine misfires.

A misfire occurs when the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder does not ignite.

The misfire Monitor uses changes in crankshaft speed to sense an engine

misfire. When a cylinder misfires, it no longer contributes to the speed of the

engine, and engine speed decreases each time the affected cylinder(s) misfire.

The misfire Monitor is designed to sense engine speed fluctuations and

determine from which cylinder(s) the misfire is coming, as well as how bad the

misfire is. There are three types of engine misfires, Types 1, 2, and 3.

- Type 1 and Type 3 misfires are two-trip monitor faults. If a fault is sensed

on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as

a Pending Code. The MIL is not commanded on at this time. If the fault is

found again on the second trip, under similar conditions of engine speed,

load and temperature, the computer commands the MIL “On,” and the

code is saved in its long term memory.

- Type 2 misfires are the most severe type of misfire. When a Type 2

misfire is sensed on the first trip, the computer commands the MIL to

light when the misfire is sensed. If the computer determines that a

Type 2 misfire is severe , and may cause catalytic converter damage,

it commands the MIL to “flash” once per second as soon as the

misfire is sensed. When the misfire is no longer present, the MIL

reverts to steady “On” condition.

The Misfire Monitor is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles and

“compression ignition” vehicles.

Catalyst Monitor - The catalytic converter is a device that is

installed downstream of the exhaust manifold. It helps to oxidize

(burn) the unburned fuel (hydrocarbons) and partially burned fuel

(carbon monoxide) left over from the combustion process. To

accomplish this, heat and catalyst materials inside the converter react

with the exhaust gases to burn the remaining fuel. Some materials

inside the catalytic converter also have the ability to store oxygen, and

release it as needed to oxidize hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. In

the process, it reduces vehicle emissions by converting the polluting

gases into carbon dioxide and water.

The computer checks the efficiency of the catalytic converter by

monitoring the oxygen sensors used by the system. One sensor is located

before (upstream of) the converter; the other is located after (downstream

of) the converter. If the catalytic converter loses its ability to store oxygen,

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

22 Craftsman 87702

the downstream sensor signal voltage becomes almost the same as the

upstream sensor signal. In this case, the monitor fails the test.

The Catalyst Monitor is supported by “spark ignition” vehicles only. The

Catalyst Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor. If a fault is found on the first

trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as a

Pending Code. The computer does not command the MIL on at this time.

If the fault is sensed again on the second trip, the computer commands

the MIL “On” and saves the code in its long-term memory.

Heated Catalyst Monitor - Operation of the “heated” catalytic

converter is similar to the catalytic converter. The main difference

is that a heater is added to bring the catalytic converter to its operating

temperature more quickly. This helps reduce emissions by reducing the

converter’s down time when the engine is cold. The Heated Catalyst

Monitor performs the same diagnostic tests as the catalyst Monitor, and

also tests the catalytic converter’s heater for proper operation.

The Heated Catalyst Monitor is supported by “spark ignition” vehicles

only. This Monitor is also a “Two-Trip” Monitor.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Monitor - The Exhaust Gas

Recirculation (EGR) system helps reduce the formation of Oxides

of Nitrogen during combustion. Temperatures above 2500°F cause

nitrogen and oxygen to combine and form Oxides of Nitrogen in the

combustion chamber. To reduce the formation of Oxides of Nitrogen,

combustion temperatures must be kept below 2500°F. The EGR system

recirculates small amounts of exhaust gas back into the intake manifold,

where it is mixed with the incoming air/fuel mixture. This reduces

combustion temperatures by up to 500°F. The computer determines

when, for how long, and how much exhaust gas is recirculated back to

the intake manifold. The EGR Monitor performs EGR system function

tests at preset times during vehicle operation.

The EGR Monitor is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles and

“compression ignition” vehicles. The EGR Monitor is a “Two-Trip”

Monitor. If a fault is found on the first trip, the computer temporarily

saves the fault in its memory as a Pending Code. The computer does

not command the MIL on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the

second trip, the computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code

in its long-term memory.

Evaporative System (EVAP) Monitor - OBD2 vehicles are

equipped with a fuel Evaporative system (EVAP) that helps

prevent fuel vapors from evaporating into the air. The EVAP system

carries fumes from the fuel tank to the engine where they are burned

during combustion. The EVAP system may consist of a charcoal

canister, fuel tank cap, purge solenoid, vent solenoid, flow monitor, leak

detector and connecting tubes, lines and hoses.

Fumes are carried from the fuel tank to the charcoal canister by hoses

or tubes. The fumes are stored in the charcoal canister. The computer

controls the flow of fuel vapors from the charcoal canister to the engine

via a purge solenoid. The computer energizes or de-energizes the purge

solenoid (depending on solenoid design). The purge solenoid opens a

valve to allow engine vacuum to draw the fuel vapors from the canister

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

Craftsman 87702 23

into the engine where the vapors are burned. The EVAP Monitor checks

for proper fuel vapor flow to the engine, and pressurizes the system to

test for leaks. The computer runs this Monitor once per trip.

The EVAP Monitor is supported by “spark ignition” vehicles only. The

EVAP Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor. If a fault is found on the first trip,

the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as a Pending

Code. The computer does not command the MIL on at this time. If the

fault is sensed again on the second trip, the PCM commands the MIL

“On,” and saves the code in its long-term memory.

Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor - The Oxygen Sensor Heater

Monitor tests the operation of the oxygen sensor’s heater. There

are two modes of operation on a computer-controlled vehicle: “open-

loop” and “closed-loop.” The vehicle operates in open-loop when the

engine is cold, before it reaches normal operating temperature. The

vehicle also goes to open-loop mode at other times, such as heavy load

and full throttle conditions. When the vehicle is running in open-loop, the

oxygen sensor signal is ignored by the computer for air/fuel mixture

corrections. Engine efficiency during open-loop operation is very low,

and results in the production of more vehicle emissions.

Closed-loop operation is the best condition for both vehicle emissions

and vehicle operation. When the vehicle is operating in closed-loop, the

computer uses the oxygen sensor signal for air/fuel mixture corrections.

In order for the computer to enter closed-loop operation, the oxygen

sensor must reach a temperature of at least 600°F. The oxygen sensor

heater helps the oxygen sensor reach and maintain its minimum

operating temperature (600°F) more quickly, to bring the vehicle into

closed-loop operation as soon as possible.

The Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor is supported by “spark ignition”

vehicles only. The Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor is a “Two-Trip”

Monitor. If a fault is found on the first trip, the computer temporarily

saves the fault in its memory as a Pending Code. The computer does

not command the MIL on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the

second trip, the computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code

in its long-term memory.

Oxygen Sensor Monitor - The Oxygen Sensor monitors how

much oxygen is in the vehicle’s exhaust. It generates a varying

voltage of up to one volt, based on how much oxygen is in the exhaust

gas, and sends the signal to the computer. The computer uses this

signal to make corrections to the air/fuel mixture. If the exhaust gas has

a large amount of oxygen (a lean air/fuel mixture), the oxygen sensor

generates a “low” voltage signal. If the exhaust gas has very little

oxygen (a rich mixture condition), the oxygen sensor generates a “high”

voltage signal. A 450mV signal indicates the most efficient, and least

polluting, air/fuel ratio of 14.7 parts of air to one part of fuel.

The oxygen sensor must reach a temperature of at least 600-650°F,

and the engine must reach normal operating temperature, for the

computer to enter into closed-loop operation. The oxygen sensor only

functions when the computer is in closed-loop. A properly operating

oxygen sensor reacts quickly to any change in oxygen content in the

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

24 Craftsman 87702

exhaust stream. A faulty oxygen sensor reacts slowly, or its voltage

signal is weak or missing.

The Oxygen Sensor Monitor is supported by “spark ignition” vehicles

only. The Oxygen Sensor Monitor is a “Two-Trip” monitor. If a fault is

found on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its

memory as a Pending Code. The computer does not command the MIL

on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the second trip, the

computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code in its long-term

memory.

Secondary Air System Monitor - When a cold engine is first

started, it runs in open-loop mode. During open-loop operation,

the engine usually runs rich. A vehicle running rich wastes fuel and

creates increased emissions, such as carbon monoxide and some

hydrocarbons. A Secondary Air System injects air into the exhaust

stream to aid catalytic converter operation:

1. It supplies the catalytic converter with the oxygen it needs to oxidize

the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons left over from the

combustion process during engine warm-up.

2. The extra oxygen injected into the exhaust stream also helps the

catalytic converter reach operating temperature more quickly during

warm-up periods. The catalytic converter must heat to operating

temperature to work properly.

The Secondary Air System Monitor checks for component integrity and

system operation, and tests for faults in the system. The computer runs

this Monitor once per trip.

The Secondary Air System Monitor is a “Two-Trip” monitor. If a fault is

found on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves this fault in its

memory as a Pending Code. The computer does not command the MIL

on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the second trip, the

computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code in its long-term

memory.

Non-Methane Hydrocarbon Catalyst (NMHC) Monitor - The

non-methane hydrocarbon catalyst is a type of catalytic converter.

It helps to remove non-methane hydrocarbons (NMH) left over from the

combustion process from the exhaust stream. To accomplish this, heat

and catalyst materials react with the exhaust gases to convert NMH to

less harmful compounds. The computer checks the efficiency of the

catalyst by monitoring the quantity of NMH in the exhaust stream. The

monitor also verifies that sufficient temperature is present to aid in

particulate matter (PM) filter regeneration.

The NMHC Monitor is supported by “compression ignition” vehicles only.

The NMHC Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor. If a fault is found on the first

trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as a

Pending Code. The computer does not command the MIL on at this time.

If the fault is sensed again on the second trip, the computer commands

the MIL “On,” and saves the code in its long-term memory.

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

Craftsman 87702 25

NOx Aftertreatment Monitor - NOx aftertreatment is based on a

catalytic converter support that has been coated with a special

washcoat containing zeolites. NOx Aftertreatment is designed to reduce

oxides of nitrogen emitted in the exhaust stream. The zeolite acts as a

molecular "sponge" to trap the NO and NO2 molecules in the exhaust

stream. In some implementations, injection of a reactant before the

aftertreatment purges it. NO2 in particular is unstable, and will join with

hydrocarbons to produce H2O and N2. The NOx Aftertreatment Monitor

monitors the function of the NOx aftertreatment to ensure that tailpipe

emissions remain within acceptable limits.

The NOx Aftertreatment Monitor is supported by “compression ignition”

vehicles only. The NOx Aftertreatment Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor. If

a fault is found on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault

in its memory as a Pending Code. The computer does not command the

MIL on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the second trip, the

computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code in its long-term

memory.

Boost Pressure System Monitor - The boost pressure system

serves to increase the pressure produced inside the intake

manifold to a level greater than atmospheric pressure. This increase in

pressure helps to ensure compete combustion of the air-fuel mixture.

The Boost Pressure System Monitor checks for component integrity and

system operation, and tests for faults in the system. The computer runs

this Monitor once per trip.

The Boost Pressure System Monitor is supported by “compression

ignition” vehicles only. The Boost Pressure System Monitor is a “Two-

Trip” Monitor. If a fault is found on the first trip, the computer temporarily

saves the fault in its memory as a Pending Code. The computer does

not command the MIL on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the

second trip, the computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code

in its long-term memory.

Exhaust Gas Sensor Monitor - The exhaust gas sensor is used

by a number of systems/monitors to determine the content of the

exhaust stream. The computer checks for component integrity, system

operation, and tests for faults in the system, as well as feedback faults

that may affect other emission control systems.

The Exhaust Gas Sensor Monitor is supported by “compression ignition”

vehicles only. The Exhaust Gas Sensor Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor.

If a fault is found on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves the

fault in its memory as a Pending Code. The computer does not

command the MIL on at this time. If the fault is sensed again on the

second trip, the computer commands the MIL “On,” and saves the code

in its long-term memory.

Onboard Diagnostics

OBD2 MONITORS

26 Craftsman 87702

PM Filter Monitor - The particulate matter (PM) filter removes

particulate matter from the exhaust stream by filtration. The filter

has a honeycomb structure similar to a catalyst substrate, but with the

channels blocked at alternate ends. This forces the exhaust gas to flow

through the walls between the channels, filtering the particulate matter

out. The filters are self-cleaning by periodic modification of the exhaust

gas concentration in order to burn off the trapped particles (oxidizing the

particles to form CO2 and water). The computer monitors the efficiency

of the filter in trapping particulate matter, as well as the ability of the filter

to regenerate (self-clean).

The PM Filter Monitor is supported by “compression ignition” vehicles

only. The PM Filter Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor. If a fault is found on

the first trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as a

Pending Code. The computer does not command the MIL on at this time.

If the fault is sensed again on the second trip, the computer commands

the MIL “On,” and saves the code in its long-term memory.

Craftsman 87702 31

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Enhanced CanOBD2 Diag-

nostic Tool aids in monitoring

electronic- and emissions-related

faults in your vehicle and

retrieving fault codes related to

malfunctions in these systems.

Mechanical problems such as

low oil level or damaged hoses, wiring or electrical connectors can

cause poor engine performance and may also cause a fault code to set.

Fix any known mechanical problems before performing any test. See

your vehicle’s service manual or a mechanic for more information.

Check the following areas before starting any test:

 Check the engine oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid (if

applicable), engine coolant and other fluids for proper levels. Top off

low fluid levels if needed.

 Make sure the air filter is clean and in good condition. Make sure all

air filter ducts are properly connected. Check the air filter ducts for

Using the Diagnostic Tool

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

Craftsman 87702 33

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition.

Each DTC has a set of testing procedures, instructions

and flow charts that must be followed to confirm the

location of the problem. This information is found in the

vehicle's service manual. Always refer to the vehicle's

service manual for detailed testing instructions.

Check your vehicle thoroughly before performing

any test. See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 31

for details.

ALWAYS observe safety precautions whenever working on a

vehicle. See SAFETY FIRST! on page 3 for more information.

1. Turn the ignition off.

2. Locate the vehicle's 16-pin Data Link

Connector (DLC). See page 5 for

connector location.

Some DLCs have a plastic cover

that must be removed before

connecting the Diagnostic Tool

cable connector.

If the Diagnostic Tool is ON, turn it

OFF by pressing the POWER/LINK

button BEFORE connecting

the Diagnostic Tool to the DLC.

3. Connect the Diagnostic Tool cable connector to the vehicle’s DLC.

The cable connector is keyed and will only fit one way.

 If you have problems connecting the cable connector to the DLC,

rotate the connector 180° and try again.

 If you still have problems, check the DLC on the vehicle and on

the Diagnostic Tool. Refer to your vehicle’s service manual to

properly check the vehicle’s DLC.

4. When the Diagnostic Tool’s cable

connector is properly connected to the

vehicle’s DLC, the unit automatically

turns ON, and links to the vehicle’s on-

board computer.

Retrieving and using Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for

troubleshooting vehicle operation is only one part of an

overall diagnostic strategy.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

34 Craftsman 87702

 If the unit does not power on automatically when connected to

the vehicle’s DLC connector, it usually indicates there is no

power present at the vehicle’s DLC connector. Check your fuse

panel and replace any burned-out fuses.

 If replacing the fuse(s) does not correct the problem, consult

your vehicle’s repair manual to identify the proper computer

(PCM) fuse/circuit, and perform any necessary repairs before

proceeding.

5. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the engine.

 The Diagnostic Tool will automatically start a check of the vehicle’s

computer to determine which type of communication protocol it is

using. When the Diagnostic Tool identifies the computer’s

communication protocol, a communication link is established. The

protocol type used by the vehicle’s computer is shown on the LCD

display.

A PROTOCOL is a set of rules and procedures for

regulating data transmission between computers, and

between testing equipment and computers. As of this

writing, five different types of protocols (ISO 9141,

Keyword 2000, J1850 PWM, J1850 VPW and CAN) are in

use by vehicle manufacturers. The Diagnostic Tool

automatically identifies the protocol type and establishes a

communication link with the vehicle’s computer.

6. After approximately 10~60 seconds, the Diagnostic Tool will

retrieve and display any Diagnostic Trouble Codes, Monitor Status

and Freeze Frame Data retrieved from the vehicle’s computer

memory.

 If the Diagnostic Tool fails to link to

the vehicle’s computer a “Linking

Failed” message shows on the

Diagnostic Tool’s LCD display.

- Verify the connection at the DLC,

and verify the ignition is ON.

- Turn the ignition OFF, wait 5 seconds, then turn back ON to

reset the computer.

- Ensure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant. See VEHICLES

COVERED on page 5 for vehicle compliance verification

information.

 The Diagnostic Tool will automati-

cally re-link to the vehicle’s com-

puter every 30 seconds to refresh

the data being retrieved. When data

is being refreshed, the message

“One moment Auto – link in

progress” is shown on the LCD

display. This action repeats as long

as the Diagnostic Tool is communicating with the vehicle’s

computer.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

Craftsman 87702 35

 The Diagnostic Tool will display a code only if codes are present

in the vehicle’s computer memory. If no codes (including

“enhanced” codes) are present, a “No Powertrain DTCs or

Freeze Frame Data is presently stored in the vehicle’s

computer” message is displayed.

 The Diagnostic Tool is capable of retrieving and storing up to 32

codes in memory, for immediate or later viewing.

7. To read the display:

Refer to DISPLAY FUNCTIONS on page 9 for a descrip-

tion of LCD display elements.

 A visible icon indicates that the Diagnostic Tool is being

powered through the vehicle’s DLC connector.

 A visible icon indicates that the Diagnostic Tool is linked to

(communicating with) the vehicle’s computer.

 The I/M Monitor Status icons indicate the type and number of

Monitors the vehicle supports, and provides indications of the

current status of the vehicle’s Monitors. A solid Monitor icon

indicates the associated Monitor has run and completed its

testing. A blinking Monitor icon indicates the associated Monitor

has not run and completed its testing.

 The upper right hand corner of the dis-

play shows the number of the code

currently being displayed, the total

number of codes retrieved, the type of

code and whether or not the displayed

code commanded the MIL on. If the

code being displayed is a PENDING

code, the PENDING icon is shown.

Freeze Frame data is always associated with the “Priority

Code” (identified as Code #1 in the Diagnostic Tool’s display).

If the FREEZE FRAME icon is lit when the “Priority Code”

(Code #1) is displayed on the Diagnostic Tool’s screen, it

indicates that there is Freeze Frame data associated with this

code, and the vehicle’s computer has saved it in its memory.

 The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and related code definition

are shown in the lower section of the LCD display.

In the case of long code definitions, a small arrow is

shown in the upper/lower right-hand corner of the code

display area to indicate the presence of additional

information. Use the button to view the additional

information.

8. Read and interpret Diagnostic Trouble Codes/system condition

using the LCD display and the green, yellow and red LEDs.

The green, yellow and red LEDs are used (with the LCD

display) as visual aids to make it easier to determine

engine system conditions.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

36 Craftsman 87702

 Green LED – Indicates that all

engine systems are “OK” and

operating normally. All monitors

supported by the vehicle have run

and performed their diagnostic

testing, and no trouble codes are

present. A zero will show on the

Diagnostic Tool’s LCD display, and

all Monitor icons will be solid.

 Yellow LED – Indicates one of the

following conditions:

A. PENDING CODE IS PRE-

SENT – If the yellow LED is

illuminated, it may indicate a

Pending code is present. Check

the Diagnostic Tool’s LCD

display for confirmation. A

Pending code is confirmed by

the presence of a numeric code

and the word PENDING on the

Diagnostic Tool’s LCD display.

B. MONITOR NOT RUN

STATUS – If the Diagnostic

Tool’s LCD display shows a

zero (indicating there are no

DTC’s present in the vehicle’s

computer memory), but the

yellow LED is illuminated, it

may be an indication that some of the Monitors supported

by the vehicle have not yet run and completed their

diagnostic testing. Check the Diagnostic Tool’s LCD

display for confirmation. All Monitor icons that are blinking

have not yet run and completed their diagnostic testing; all

Monitor icons that are solid have run and completed their

diagnostic testing.

 Red LED – Indicates there is a

problem with one or more of the

vehicle’s systems. The red LED is

also used to indicate that DTC(s) are

present (displayed on the Diagnostic

Tool’s screen). In this case, the

Multifunction Indicator (Check Engine)

lamp on the vehicle’s instrument

panel will be illuminated.

 Flashing Red and Yellow LEDs – Indicates that a "permanent"

code has been set, and one or more of the vehicle’s monitors

has failed its diagnostic testing. A "permanent" DTC can be

cleared only by the vehicle's computer following successful

completion of the monitor that caused the fault to set.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

Craftsman 87702 37

 DTC’s that start with “P0”, “P2” and some “P3” are considered

Generic (Universal). All Generic DTC definitions are the same

on all OBD2 equipped vehicles. The Diagnostic Tool

automatically displays the code definitions for Generic DTC’s.

 DTC’s that start with “P1” and some

“P3” are Manufacturer Specific codes

and their code definitions vary with

each vehicle manufacturer. When a

Manufacturer Specific DTC is

computer disconnects. To re-establish communication, press the

POWER/LINK button again.

 Each time the DTC button is pressed and released, the

Diagnostic Tool will scroll and display the next DTC in sequence

until all DTCs in its memory have displayed.

 Freeze Frame Data (if available) will display after DTC #1.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

38 Craftsman 87702

 In OBD2 systems, when an

emissions-related engine malfunction

occurs that causes a DTC to set, a

record or snapshot of engine

conditions at the time that the

malfunction occurred is also saved in

the vehicle’s computer memory. The

record saved is called Freeze Frame

data. Saved engine conditions include, but are not limited to: engine

speed, open or closed loop operation, fuel system commands,

coolant temperature, calculated load value, fuel pressure, vehicle

speed, air flow rate, and intake manifold pressure.

If more than one malfunction is present that causes more

than one DTC to be set, only the code with the highest

priority will contain Freeze Frame data. The code

designated “01” on the Diagnostic Tool display is referred

to as the PRIORITY code, and Freeze Frame data always

refers to this code. The priority code is also the one that

has commanded the MIL on.

Retrieved information can be uploaded to a Personal

Computer (PC) with the use of optional software (see

instructions included with the software for more information).

10. When the last retrieved DTC has been displayed and the DTC

button is pressed, the display returns to the first DTC retrieved.

11. Determine engine system(s) condition by viewing the Diagnostic

Tool’s LCD display for any retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes,

code definitions, Freeze Frame data and interpreting the green,

yellow and red LEDs.

 If DTC’s were retrieved and you are going to perform the repairs

yourself, proceed by consulting the Vehicle’s Service Repair

Manual for testing instructions, testing procedures, and flow

charts related to retrieved code(s).

 If you plan to take the vehicle to a professional to have it

serviced, complete the PRELIMINARY VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC

WORKSHEET on page 28 and take it together with the retrieved

codes, freeze frame data and LED information to aid in the

troubleshooting procedure.

 To prolong battery life, the Diagnostic Tool automatically shuts

“Off” approximately three minutes after it is disconnected from

the vehicle. The DTCs retrieved, Monitor Status and Freeze

Frame data (if any) will remain in the Diagnostic Tool’s memory,

and may be viewed at any time by turning the unit “On”. If the

Diagnostic Tool’s batteries are removed, or if the Diagnostic

Tool is re-linked to a vehicle to retrieve codes/data, any prior

codes/data in its memory are automatically cleared.

I/M READINESS TESTING

I/M is an Inspection and Maintenance program legislated by the

Government to meet federal clean-air standards.

The program requires that a vehicle be taken periodically to an

Emissions Station for an "Emissions Test" or "Smog Check,” where the

emissions-related components and systems are inspected and tested

for proper operation. Emissions Tests are generally performed once a

year, or once every two years.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

I/M READINESS TESTING

52 Craftsman 87702

On OBD2 systems, the I/M program is enhanced by requiring vehicles

to meet stricter test standards. One of the tests instituted by the Federal

Government is called I/M 240. On I/M 240, the vehicle under test is

driven under different speeds and load conditions on a dynamometer for

240 seconds, while the vehicle's emissions are measured.

Emissions tests vary depending on the geographic or regional

area in which the vehicle is registered. If the vehicle is

registered in a highly urbanized area, the I/M 240 is probably

the type of test required. If the vehicle is registered in a rural

area, the stricter “dynamometer type” test may not be required.

I/M Readiness Monitors

I/M Readiness shows whether the various emissions-related systems on

the vehicle are operating properly and are ready for Inspection and

Maintenance testing.

State and Federal Governments enacted Regulations, Procedures and

Emission Standards to ensure that all emissions-related components

and systems are continuously or periodically monitored, tested and

diagnosed whenever the vehicle is in operation. It also requires vehicle

manufacturers to automatically detect and report any problems or faults

that may increase the vehicle's emissions to an unacceptable level.

The vehicle's emissions control system consists of several components

or sub-systems (Oxygen Sensor, Catalytic Converter, EGR, Fuel

System, etc.) that aid in reducing vehicle emissions.

To have an efficient Vehicle Emission Control System, all the emissions-

related components and systems must work correctly whenever the

vehicle is in operation.

To comply with State and Federal Government regulations, vehicle

manufacturers designed a series of special computer programs called

"Monitors" that are programmed into the vehicle's computer. Each of

these Monitors is specifically designed to run tests and diagnostics on a

specific emissions-related component or system (Oxygen Sensor,

Catalytic Converter, EGR Valve, Fuel System, etc.) to ensure their

proper operation. Currently, there are a maximum of eleven Monitors

available for use.

Each Monitor has a specific function to test

and diagnose only its designated emissions-

related component or system. The names of

the Monitors (Oxygen Sensor Monitor, Catalyst

Monitor, EGR Monitor, Misfire Monitor, etc.)

describe which component or system each

Monitor is designed to test and diagnose.

To learn more about Emissions Inspection and Maintenance

(I/M) Readiness Monitors, see OBD2 MONITORS on page 23.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

I/M READINESS TESTING

Craftsman 87702 53

Emissions Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Readiness

Monitor Status Information

I/M Readiness Monitor Status shows which of the vehicle's Monitors

have run and completed their diagnosis and testing, and which ones

have not yet run and completed testing and diagnosis of their

designated sections of the vehicle's emissions system.

 If a Monitor was able to meet all the conditions required to enable it

to perform the self-diagnosis and testing of its assigned engine

system, it means the monitor "HAS RUN.”

 If a Monitor has not yet met all the conditions required for it to

perform the self-diagnosis and testing of its assigned engine system;

it means the Monitor "HAS NOT RUN.”

The Monitor Run/Not Run status does not show whether

or not a problem exists in a system. Monitor status only

indicates whether a particular Monitor has or has not run

and performed the self-diagnosis and testing of its

associated system.

Performing I/M Readiness Quick Check

When a vehicle first comes from the factory, all Monitors

indicate a “HAVE RUN” status. This indicates that all Monitors

have run and completed their diagnostic testing. The “HAVE

RUN” status remains in the computer's memory, unless the

Diagnostic Trouble Codes are erased or the vehicle's

computer memory is cleared.

The Diagnostic Tool allows you to retrieve Monitor/System Status

Information to help you determine if the vehicle is ready for an

Emissions Test (Smog Check). In addition to retrieving Diagnostic

Trouble Codes, the Diagnostic Tool also retrieves Monitor Run/Not Run

status. This information is very important since different areas of the

state/country have different emissions laws and regulations concerning

Monitor Run/Not Run status.

Before an Emissions Test (Smog Check) can be performed, your

vehicle must meet certain rules, requirements and procedures legislated

by the Federal and state (country) governments where you live.

1. In most areas, one of the requirements that must be met before a

vehicle is allowed to be Emissions Tested (Smog Checked) is that

the vehicle does not have any Diagnostic Trouble Codes present

(with the exception of PENDING Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

2. In addition to the requirement that no Diagnostic Trouble Codes be

present, some areas also require that all the Monitors that a

particular vehicle supports indicate a "Has Run" status condition

before an Emissions Check may be performed.

3. Other areas may only require that some (but not all) Monitors

indicate a "Has Run" status before an Emissions Test (Smog Check)

may be performed.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

I/M READINESS TESTING

54 Craftsman 87702

Monitors with a "Has Run" status indicate that all the

required conditions they needed to perform diagnosis and

testing of their assigned engine area (system) have been

met, and all diagnostic testing has completed successfully.

Monitors with a "Has Not Run" status have not yet met the

conditions they need to perform diagnosis and testing of

their assigned engine area (system), and have not been

able to perform diagnostic testing on that system.

The green, yellow and red LEDs provide a quick way to help you

determine if a vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test (Smog Check).

Follow the instructions below to perform the Quick Check.

Perform the CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE as described on page

33, then interpret the LED indications as follows:

Interpreting I/M Readiness Test Results

1. GREEN LED - Indicates that all engine

systems are "OK" and operating

normally (all Monitors supported by the

vehicle have run and performed their

self-diagnostic testing). The vehicle is

ready for an Emissions Test (Smog

Check), and there is a good possibility

that it can be certified.

2. YELLOW LED - Determine from the

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

(page 33) which of the two possible

conditions is causing the yellow LED to light.

 If a "PENDING" Diagnostic Trouble

Code is causing the yellow LED to

light, it is possible that the vehicle will

be allowed to be tested for emissions

and certified. Currently, most areas

(states / countries) will allow an

Emissions Test (Smog Check) to be

performed if the only code in the

vehicle's computer is a "PENDING"

Diagnostic Trouble Code.

 If the illumination of the Yellow LED is being caused by monitors

that “have not run” their diagnostic testing, then the issue of the

vehicle being ready for an Emissions Test (Smog Check) depends

on the emissions regulations and laws of your local area.

- Some areas require that all

Monitors indicate a "Has Run"

status before they allow an

Emissions Test (Smog Check) to

be performed. Other areas only

require that some, but not all,

Monitors have run their self-

diagnostic testing before an

Emissions Test (Smog Check)

may be performed.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

I/M READINESS TESTING

Craftsman 87702 55

From the code retrieval procedure, determine the status of

each Monitor (a solid Monitor icon shows Monitor "Has Run"

status, a flashing Monitor icon indicates "Has Not Run" status).

Take this information to an emissions professional to

determine (based on your test results) if your vehicle is ready

for an Emissions Test (Smog Check).

3. RED LED - Indicates there is a problem

with one or more of the vehicle's systems.

A vehicle displaying a red LED is definitely

not ready for an Emissions Test (Smog

Check). The red LED is also an indication

that there are Diagnostic Trouble Code(s)

present (displayed on the Diagnostic

Tool's screen). The Multifunction Indicator

(Check Engine) Lamp on the vehicle's

instrument panel will light steady. The

problem that is causing the red LED to

light must be repaired before an Emissions Test (Smog Check) can be

performed. It is also suggested that the vehicle be inspected/repaired

before driving the vehicle further.

4. Flashing Red and Yellow LEDs – Indicates that a "permanent"

code has been set, and one or more of the vehicle’s monitors has

failed its diagnostic testing. A "permanent" DTC can be cleared only

by the vehicle's computer following successful completion of the

monitor that caused the fault to set.

If the Red LED or flashing RED and YELLOW LEDs were obtained,

there is a definite problem present in the system(s). In these cases,

you have the following options.

 Repair the vehicle yourself. If you are going to perform the

repairs yourself, proceed by reading the vehicle service manual

and following all its procedures and recommendations.

 Take the vehicle to a professional to have it serviced. The

problem(s) causing the red LED to light must be repaired before

the vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test (Smog Check).

On some vehicle models, the computer will store non-emission

related DTCs. These DTCs will not command the MIL on since

they are not emission related. If the Diagnostic Tool retrieves

one of these types of codes, the MIL will not be commanded

on, and the Yellow LED on the Diagnostic Tool will be

illuminated. In most cases, these types of codes will not

prevent the Emissions Test from being performed.

Using the I/M Readiness Monitor Status to Confirm a Repair

The I/M Readiness Monitor Status function can be used (after repair of a

fault has been performed) to confirm that the repair has been performed

correctly, and/or to check for Monitor Run Status. Use the following

procedure to determine I/M Readiness Monitor Status:

1. Using retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and code

definitions as a guide, and following manufacturer's repair

procedures, repair the fault or faults as instructed.

Using the Diagnostic Tool

I/M READINESS TESTING

56 Craftsman 87702

2. After the fault or faults have been repaired, connect the Diagnostic

Tool to the vehicle's DLC and erase the code or codes from the

vehicle's computer memory.

 See page 47 for procedures for ERASING DIAGNOSTIC

TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) from the vehicle's on-board computer.

 Write the codes down on a piece of paper for reference before

erasing.

3. After the erase procedure is performed, most of the Monitor icons on

the Diagnostic Tool’s LCD display will be flashing. Leave the

Diagnostic Tool connected to the vehicle, and perform a Trip Drive

Cycle for each "flashing" Monitor:

Misfire, Fuel and Comprehensive Component Monitors run

continuously and their icons will always be on solid, even after

the erase function is performed.

 Each DTC is associated with a specific Monitor. Consult the

vehicle's service manual to identify the Monitor (or Monitors)

associated with the faults that were repaired. Follow the

manufacturer's procedures to perform a Trip Drive Cycle for the

appropriate Monitors.

 While observing the Monitor icons on the Diagnostic Tool’s LCD

display, perform a Trip Drive Cycle for the appropriate Monitor or

Monitors.

If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a Trip

Drive Cycle, ALWAYS have a second person help you.

One person should drive the vehicle while the other

person observes the Monitor icons on the Diagnostic Tool

for Monitor RUN status. Trying to drive and observe the

Diagnostic Tool at the same time is dangerous, and could

cause a serious traffic accident.

4. When a Monitor's Trip Drive Cycle is performed properly, the

Monitor icon on the Diagnostic Tool’s LCD display changes from

"flashing" to "solid,” indicating that the Monitor has run and finished

its diagnostic testing.

 If, after the Monitor has run, the MIL on the vehicle's dash is not

lit, and no stored or pending codes associated with that

particular Monitor are present in the vehicle's computer, the

repair was successful.

 If, after the Monitor has run, the MIL on the vehicle's dash lights

and/or a DTC associated with that Monitor is present in the

vehicle's computer, the repair was unsuccessful. Refer to the

vehicle's service manual and recheck repair procedures.
