2LAUNCH CRP 429HD User's Manual2. General Information2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) IIThe first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (OBD I) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called “OBD II”. The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key enginecomponentsbyperformingeithercontinuousorperiodictestsofspeciccomponents and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically by the phrase of “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon”. The system will also store important information about the detected malfunction sothatatechniciancanaccuratelyndandxtheproblem.Herebelowfollowthree pieces of such valuable information:1) Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded ‘on’ or ‘off’;2) Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;3) Readiness Monitor status.2.2 DLC (Data Link Connector) LocationThe DLC is the connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer and usually located in the driver’s cab. A plastic DLC cover may be found for some vehicles and you need to remove it before plugging the 6 pin or 9 pin DLC diagnostic adaptor. If it cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.2.3 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle.2.3.1 OBDII DTCOBDIIDiagnosticTroubleCodesconsistofave-digitalphanumericcode.Therstcharacter,aletter,identieswhichcontrolsystemsetsthecode.Thesecondcharacter, a number, 0-3; other three characters, a hex character, 0-9 or A-F

Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:2.3.2 DTCs for J1587/J1708 and J1939This section explains the basic elements of fault codes for J1587/J1708 and J1939 data bus protocols, how to view these codes on CRP 429HD HD, and what they mean. Each fault code on CRP 429HD HD contain three distinct pieces of information, as described below.J1587/J1708 fault codes consist of the following, in this order:• SubsystemIdentier(SID)–IndicateswhatfunctionontheECUhasfailed.• FailureModeIndicator(FMI)–Indicatesinwhatwaythefunctionfailed.• Occurence(OC)–Indicatestheoccurencetimesoffaultcodes.J1939 fault codes consist of the following, in this order:• SuspectParameterNumber(SPN)–IndicateswhatfunctionontheECUhasfailed.

With respect toOpenSystemInterconnectionmodel(OSI),J1708denesthephysicallayer.Common higher layer protocols that operate on top of J1708 are SAE J1587 and SAE J1922.SAE J1587SAE J1587 is an automotive diagnostic protocol standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for heavy-duty and most medium-duty vehicles built after 1985. The J1587 protocol uses different diagnostic connectors. Up to 1995, individual OEMs used their own connectors. From 1996 to 2001, the 6-pin Deutsch-connector was standard. Beginning in 2001, most OEMs converted to the 9-pin Deutsch. Some OEMs still use the 6-pin Deutsch. It has mostly been used for US made vehicles, and also by Volvo. SAE J1708 makes up the physical and data link layers while SAE J1587 makes up the transport and application layers with respect to the OSI model. SAE J1587 is used in conjunction with SAE J1708 for automobile communication.SAE J1939SAE J1939 is the vehicle bus standard used for communication and diagnostics among vehicle components, originally by the car and heavy duty truck industry in the United States.SAE J1939 is used in the commercial vehicle area for communication throughout the vehicle. With a different physical layer it is used between the tractor and trailer.ThisisspeciedinISO11992.SAE J1939 can be considered the replacement for the older SAE J1708 and SAEJ1587specications.SAE J1939 has been adopted widely by diesel engine manufacturers. One driving force behind this is the increasing adoption of the engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which provides one method of controlling exhaust gas emissions within US and European standards. Consequently, SAE J1939 can now be found in a range of diesel-powered applications: vehicles (on- and off-
5LAUNCH CRP 429HD User's ManualENroad), marine propulsion, power generation and industrial pumping.Applications of J1939 now include off-highway, truck, bus, and even some passenger car applications.2.5 OBD II DenitionsPowertrain Control Module (PCM) -- OBD II terminology for the on-board computer that controls engine and drive train.Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument panel. It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a problem with one or more of vehicle’s systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal standards. If the MIL illuminates with a steady light, it indicates that a problem has been detected and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. Undercertainconditions,thedashboardlightwillblinkorash.Thisindicatesasevere problem and flashing is intended to discourage vehicle operation. The vehicle onboard diagnostic system cannot turn the MIL off until the necessary repairs are completed or the condition no longer exists.DTC -- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that identifies which section of the emission control system has malfunctioned.Enabling Criteria -- Also termed Enabling Conditions. They are the vehicle-speciceventsorconditionsthatmustoccurwithintheenginebeforethevariousmonitors will set, or run. Some monitors require the vehicle to follow a prescribed “drive cycle” routine as part of the enabling criteria. Drive cycles vary among vehicles and for each monitor in any particular vehicle. Please refer to the vehicle’sfactoryservicemanualforspecicenablingprocedures.OBD II Drive Cycle -- A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides conditions required to set all the readiness monitors applicable to the vehicle to the “ready” condition. The purpose of completing an OBD II drive cycle is to force the vehicle to run its onboard diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle needs to be performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCM’s memory or after the battery has been disconnected. Running through a vehicle’s complete drive cycle will “set” the readiness monitors so that future faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the monitor that needs to be reset. For vehiclespecicdrivecycle,consulttheservicemanual.Freeze Frame Data -- When an emissions related fault occurs, the OBD II system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle operating parameters to help in identifying the problem. This set of values is referred to as Freeze Frame Data and may include important engine parameters such as engineRPM,vehiclespeed,airow,engineload,fuelpressure,fueltrimvalue,
6LAUNCH CRP 429HD User's Manualengine coolant temperature, ignition timing advance, or closed loop status.Fuel Trim (FT) - Feedback adjustments to the base fuel schedule. Short-term fuel trim refers to dynamic or instantaneous adjustments. Long-term fuel trim refers to much more gradual adjustments to the fuel calibration schedule than short-term trim adjustments. These long-term adjustments compensate for vehicle differences and gradual changes that occur over time.

I/M ReadinessI/M refers to Inspection and Maintenance that is legislated by the Government to meet federal clean-air standards. I/M Readiness indicates whether or not the various emissions-related systems on the vehicle are operating properly and are ready for Inspection and Maintenance testing.The purpose of the I/M Readiness Monitor Status is to indicate 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.The I/M Readiness Monitor Status function also 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.Note: N/A means not available on this vehicle; INC means incomplete or not ready and OK means Completed or Monitor Ok.4. Data StreamThis item enables you to view all data stream items and the live waveform of all selected items.5. View Freeze FrameWhen an emission-related fault occurs, certain vehicle conditions are recorded by the on-board computer. This information is referred to as freeze frame data. Freeze Data is a snapshot of the operating conditions at the time of an emission-related fault.
22LAUNCH CRP 429HD User's Manual*Note: If DTCs were erased, Freeze Data may not be stored in vehicle memory depending on vehicle.6. O2 sensor testThe results of O2 sensor test are not live values but instead the results of the ECU’s last O2 sensor test. For live O2 sensor readings, refer to any of the live sensor screens such as Graph Screen.Not all test values are applicable to all vehicles. Therefore, the list generated will vary depending on vehicle. In addition, not all vehicles support the Oxygen Sensors screen. 7. On-board monitor testThis function can be utilized to read the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring testsforspeciccomponents/systems.8. Evap SystemThe EVAP test function lets you initiate a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP system.
