OBD II
On-board diagnostics version II (OBD 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 United States were
fully OBD II compliant.
✓ Technicians can now use the same tool to test any OBD II
compliant vehicle without special adapters. SAE established
guidelines that provide:
❒ A universal connector, called the DLC, with dedicated pin
assignments.
❒ A standard location for the 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 a
fault occurs.
❒ Expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a
condition occurs that affects vehicle emissions.
❒ Ability to clear stored codes from the vehicle’s memory with a
Scan 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. Unfortunately, vehicle
manufacturers have different interpretations of this standard
communications protocol. As a result, the generic OBD II
communications scheme varies, depending on the vehicle. 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 that vehicle
manufacturers were required to phase in over a three-year period.
Beginning in 1994, vehicles with a new engine management computer
( about 10% of each manufacturers fleet ) were supposed to comply
with OBD II standards. For 1995, OBD II systems were to appear on
about 40% of the new vehicles sold in the United States. Some of the
1994-1995 OBD II systems were not fully compliant, so the Government
granted waivers to give manufacturers time to fine-tune their systems.
Beginning in 1996, most of the new vehicles sold in the United States
were fully OBD II compliant.

Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) allows the Scan Tool to communicate
with the vehicle’s computer(s).
Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in the United States use the J1962
(OBD II) DLC, a term taken from a physical and electrical specification
number assigned by the SAE (J1962). The DLC should be located
under the dashboard on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the DLC is not
located under the dashboard as stated, a decal describing its location
should be attached to the dashboard in the area the DLC should have
been located. For more information on OBD II connectors, go to
http://www.obdclearinghouse.com/oemdb.

OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs)
✓ J2012 and ISO 15031-6 are standards for all DTCs, established by
the SAE, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and
other governing bodies.
❒ Codes and definitions assigned by these specifications are
known as Generic OBD II codes.
❒ OBD II requires compliance to these standards for all cars, light
trucks, APVs, MPVs, and SUVs sold in the United States.
❒ Codes not reserved by the SAE are reserved for the
manufacturer and referred to as Manufacturer Specific Codes.
✓ DTCs are used to help determine the cause of a problem or
problems with a vehicle.
❒ DTCs consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code.
❒ The DTCs format and general code types are shown below.
Within each category (Powertrain, Chassis, Body and Network) of
DTCs there are assigned ranges for different vehicle systems.
Example:
P0101 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Range/Performance Problem
P 0 1 0 1

Connecting The Scan Tool
To diagnose a vehicle, connect the DLC cable to the vehicle’s DLC.
Refer to “ Data Link Connector (DLC)” in Section 2 of Getting Started.
If you just want to power up the tool to do self-tests, code lookup, review
or printing data from the last vehicle tested, then you do not need to
attach the cable to the DLC. The internal battery provides power for this.

✓ For more information on OBD II connectors, go to

AutoID™ uses the VIN to determine the type of vehicle the tool is
connected to. Vehicle manufacturers began programming the VIN into
the vehicle controller in 2000, but it was not an OBD II mandate until
2005. Vehicles between 2000 and 2004 may or may not support
AutoID™, but vehicles after 2005 should support AutoID™. If the tool
is on a vehicle newer than database coverage, the tool will AutoID™ as
MY OBD II / EOBD, or 2012 OBD II / EOBD.

CodeConnect® Feature
CodeConnect® is an experience-based database derived from over 4.7
million phone calls from technicians seeking assistance diagnosing
repair problems on their vehicles. CodeConnect® brings the
technology of professional technicians to a DIY scan tool. Don’t waste
time trying to find the answer. With the information CodeConnect®
offers, it takes vehicle repairs to the next level. Since you now know the
most probable fix for your problem, you can decide if you want to tackle
the repair yourself, or bring the vehicle to a local automotive repair
facility.
In order for CodeConnect® to work, you must select your
specific vehicle during vehicle selection. A Global OBD II
vehicle selection will not provide any CodeConnect®
information. The power of CodeConnect® is that repair
information is vehicle and trouble code specific and is
based on the largest experience-based database available.
CodeConnect® information is available whenever the CodeConnect®
icon is visible on the display. The CodeConnect® icon has the potential
of being displayed while trouble codes are being displayed from Read
Codes or while Viewing Freeze Frame data. Also, when you print codes
to your PC, the CodeConnect® information, if available, will also be
printed.
✓ CodeConnect® information is currently only available in English,
so if your tool is set to Spanish or French, don’t be alarmed if your
DTC text is in one language and your CodeConnect® information
is shown in English.

I/M Monitors (Emissions)
The I/M Monitors (Inspection / Maintenance) function is used to view
a snapshot of the operations for the emission system on OBD II
vehicles.
✓ I/M Monitors is a very useful function. To guarantee no faults exist
make sure all monitors are ok or n/a and no DTC’s exist.
✓ Refer to the vehicles service manual for the drive cycle operation.
✓ During normal driving conditions, the vehicle computer scans the
emission system. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor
has specific driving conditions and time required), the computer
monitors decide if the vehicles emission system is working correctly
or not as well as detecting out of range values. When the monitor
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.
✓ Depending on vehicle, disconnecting or a discharged battery may
erase DTCs and clear monitor status.
✓ Monitors may be cleared by:
❒ Erasing codes
❒ Vehicle control modules losing power
✓ I/M Monitors can be done key on engine running (KOER) or key on
engine off (KOEO).
✓ Extreme weather and/or road conditions can prevent a monitor from
running. Also, some monitors may require a cold start to complete.

Read Codes
✓ The Read Codes function allows the Scan Tool to read the DTCs from
the vehicle’s control modules. DTCs are used to help determine the
cause of a problem or problems with a vehicle. These codes cause the
control module to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
when emission-related or driveability fault occurs. MIL is also known
as service engine soon or check engine lamp.
✓ Read Codes can be done with the key on engine off (KOEO) or with
the key on engine running (KOER).

about the DTC. Multiple DTC types may be possible for a given DTC
number. Not all vehicles support DTC types. The table on the next page
describes possible DTC types.
DTC Type Description
History Intermittent codes placed in the vehicle’s memory when the trou-
ble originally occurred, and will remain there even if the trouble
has been corrected. If no trouble after 50 engine warm-up cycles,
the DTC will be erased.
Confirmed Confirmed codes are reported when a component, sensor, or
other part of the vehicle is indication a malfunction is present.
Current Codes transmitted through the PCMs data stream when a trouble
condition is active and cannot be erased. The problem must be
repaired to remove the DTC.
Intermittent Indicates the current code has been set at least once but possibly
not enough to cause a history code to be stored.
MIL Indicates that this DTC has turned on the MIL light.
Pending Pending codes are also referred to as continuous monitor or
maturing codes. An intermittent fault causes the control module to
store a code in memory. If the fault does not occur within a certain
number of warm-up cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears
from memory. If fault occurs a specific number of times, the code
matures into a DTC and the MIL illuminates or blinks. This function
can be used with KOEO or KOER.
Non-MIL DTC that is not emission-related and did not turn on the MIL light.
MIL Code This DTC type also has a number with it indicating that this is the
code number turning on the MIL. Vehicle service manuals may
refer to this number instead of the one listed in the DTC number
field.
Permanent Permanent codes are a special type of confirmed code. Perma-
nent codes began being reported by vehicles around 2010, and
therefore not supported by every vehicle. While Confirmed Codes
can be erased by the Tool, Permanent Codes cannot. Permanent
Codes are erased by the vehicle when the vehicle has determined
the fault is no longer present.
Active DTC that was present at the time of Scan Tool request.
Stored DTC that was not present at the time of Scan Tool request.

Erase Codes
The Erase Codes function deletes DTCs and I/M Monitor data from
vehicle’s control module(s). Perform this function key on engine off
(KOEO). Do not start the engine.
✓ The Erase Codes function may also erase View Freeze Data, O2
Monitor Tests, and Diagnostic Monitor Test results depending on
vehicle.
✓ The Erase Codes function sets monitors to inc.
✓ Perform Erase Codes function only after systems have been
checked completely and DTCs have been written down.
✓ After servicing the vehicle, erase stored DTCs and verify no codes
have returned. If a DTC returns, problem has not been fixed or other
faults are present.
✓ Depending on which monitor sets a code the vehicle may need to be
driven and the monitor ran before concluding that the fault is repaired.

Drive Cycle Monitor
The Drive Cycle Monitor function is very similar to the I/M Monitors
though the Drive Cycle Monitor is used to view REAL TIME operations
of the Emissions System on OBD II vehicles.
✓ Drive Cycle Monitor continuously updates as the vehicle reports
operations of the Emission System.
! CAUTION
Two people must be in vehicle when driving. One to
drive and the other to operate the Scan Tool.
✓ Refer to the vehicle service manual for the drive cycle operation.
✓ Drive Cycle Monitor can be used if you want to drive the vehicle until
all of the monitors are OK.
✓ During normal driving conditions, the vehicle computer scans the
emission system. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor
has specific driving conditions and time requirements), the computer
monitors will decide if the vehicle emissions system is working
correctly or not as well as detecting out a range of values. When the
monitor status is:
• “ok” - vehicle has been driven enough for function.
• “inc” (Incomplete) - vehicle was not driven enough to complete all of
the monitors.
• “n/a” (Not Applicable) - vehicle does not support that monitor.
✓ Clear Monitors by:

O2 Monitor Tests
OBD II regulations require applicable vehicles monitor and test oxygen
(O2) sensors to determine problems related to fuel and emissions. The
O2 Monitor Tests allows retrieval of completed O2 sensors monitor
test results.
✓ The O2 Monitor Tests is not an on-demand test. O2 sensors are
not tested when selected via the menu. O2 sensors are tested when
engine operating conditions are within specified limits.
✓ If the vehicle communicates using a controller area network (CAN),
O2 monitor tests are not supported by vehicle. A message is
displayed. See “Diagnostic Monitor Tests” in this section to see O2
monitor data.
✓ O2 sensors are located before (upstream) and after (downstream)
catalyst(s). Sensors are named (xy) for their position to both cylinder
banks and catalysts.
❒ The O2 sensor for cylinder bank 1 has prefix 1y while O2 sensor
for cylinder bank 2 has prefix 2y.
❒ The O2 sensor upstream of catalyst (closest to engine) has suffix
x1 while O2 sensor downstream of catalyst has suffix x2. If
vehicle contains more catalysts, O2 sensor downstream of
second catalyst has suffix x3 and O2 sensor downstream of next
catalyst has suffix x4.
❒ For example, O2S21 is upstream O2 sensor for cylinder bank 2.
