2LAUNCH                                                                   GEAR TSAP 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 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes 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. OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the code. The second character, a  number,  0-3;  other  three  characters,  a  hex  character,  0-9  or A-F  provide additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to set. Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:

The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel  (dash), under or around  the driver’s side  for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

They  are running periodic  tests  on  specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits.Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) dened by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported in every vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle depends on the motor vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.Continuous Monitors -- Some of the vehicle components or systems are continuously tested  by  the vehicle’s OBD  II  system, while  others  are  tested only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The continuously monitored components listed below are always ready:1. Misre2. Fuel System3. Comprehensive Components (CCM)Once the vehicle  is  running,  the OBD II system  is  continuously  checking the above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misre, and monitoring fuel demands. Non-Continuous Monitors -- Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions and engine system components require the vehicle to be operated under specic conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-continuous monitors and are listed below:1) EGR System2) O2 Sensors3) Catalyst4) Evaporative System5) O2 Sensor Heater
5LAUNCH                                                                   GEAR TSAP User's ManualEN6) Secondary air Injection7) Heated Catalyst8) A/C system2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness StatusOBD  II  systems  must  indicate  whether  or  not  the  vehicle’s  PCM’s  monitor system has completed testing on each component. Components that have been tested will  be  reported as  “Ready”,  or  “Complete”, meaning  they  have been tested by the OBD  II  system. The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow inspectors  to  determine if the vehicle’s OBD II system has  tested  all the components and/or systems.The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sets a monitor to “Ready” or “Complete” after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The drive cycle that enables  a  monitor  and  sets  readiness  codes  to  “Ready”  varies  for  each individual monitor. Once a monitor is set as “Ready” or “Complete”, it will remain in this state. A number of factors, including erasing of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) with a code reader or a disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors being  set to  “Not  Ready”.  Since  the three  continuous  monitors  are constantly evaluating, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the monitor status will be reported as “Not Complete” or “Not Ready.”In order for the OBD monitor system to become  ready,  the  vehicle  should  be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions. These operating conditions may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period. For specic information on getting your vehicle’s OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner’s manual.2.6 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.

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, engine 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.
