3.3 OBDII

On-board diagnostics version II (OBDII) is a system that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed to standardize automotive electronic diagnosis.

573102 | REV. A | 07.2015

Beginning in 1996, most new vehicles sold in the United

States were fully OBDII compliant.

Technicians can now use the same tool to test any OBDII compliant vehicle without special adapters. SAE established guidelines that provide:

• A universal OBDII data link 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.

3.4 SAE Publications

SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a standard communication protocol that establishes hardware, software, and circuit parameters of OBDII systems. Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers have different interpretations of this standard communications protocol. As a result, the generic OBDII 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 OBDII standards. For 1995, OBDII systems were to appear on about 40% of the new vehicles sold in the United States. Some of the 1994-1995

OBDII 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 OBDII compliant.

3.5 OBDII Data Link Connector (DLC)

The OBDII 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 (OBDII) 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

3.6 OBDII 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 OBDII codes.

• OBDII 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.

4.11 CodeConnect® Feature

CodeConnect® is an experience-based database derived

from millions of 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.

IMPORTANT: For CodeConnect® to work, you must select your specific vehicle during vehicle selection . A

Global OBD II vehicle selection will not provide any

573102 | REV. A | 07.2015


CodeConnect® information . The power of CodeConnect® is that repair information is vehicle and trouble code specific and is based on the largest experiencebased database available .

CodeConnect® information is available whenever

is visible on the display. It 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.

5.1 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 OBDII 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 DTCs 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 reset by:

• Erasing codes

• Vehicle control modules losing power

The I/M Monitors function can be run 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.

5.2 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.

When referring to the engine control module, 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).

Confirmed codes are reported when a component, sensor, or other part of the vehicle is indication a malfunction is present.

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.

Indicates the current code has been set at least once but possibly not enough to cause a history code to be stored.

Indicates that this DTC has turned on the

MIL light.

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.

DTC that is not emission-related and did not turn on the MIL light.

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 codes are a special type of confirmed code. Permanent 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.

On some vehicles, the code returned by the vehicle is not known by the Scan Tool.

If this happens, the Scan Tool will display this type along with the code number.

5.9 Drive Cycle Monitor

The Drive Cycle Monitor function is very similar to I/M

Monitors though the Drive Cycle Monitor is used to

view real-time operations of the emissions system on

OBDII 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.

Reset monitors by:

• Erasing codes.

5.10 O2 Monitor Tests

OBDII 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.

The following O2 Sensor Tests are available:

• Rich-to-lean sensor threshold voltage

• Lean-to-rich sensor threshold voltage

• Low sensor voltage for switch time

• High sensor voltage for switch time

• Rich-to-lean sensor switch time

• Lean-to-rich sensor switch time

• Minimum sensor voltage test cycle

• Maximum sensor voltage test cycle

• Time between sensor transitions

• Sensor period

Determining DLC KOER voltage

Press BACK to exit

On the first screen, the Scan Tool didn’t detect that the engine had started, so there isn’t a KOER voltage reading.

The second screen did detect that the engine had started so there is a KOER reading.

The screen on the left shows that the KOEO voltage before an engine start was attempted was 12.2V. Once the starter began cranking the engine, a cranking voltage of 10.4V was measured. After the engine started, a KOER voltage reading of 14.7V was measured.

• If the KOEO voltage is very low, this could be an indication of a bad battery, or one that needs to be charged.

• If the cranking voltage is a lot lower than the KOEO voltage, than this is an indication of a worn starter.

• If the KOER voltage is not higher than the KOEO voltage, than this indicates a bad or weak alternator.

6 Troubleshooting

6.1 Error Messages

Check the following if an error message displays:

• Verify ignition key is in the ON and not in the ACCES-

SORIES position.

• Make sure the DLC Cable is attached to vehicle’s data link connector (DLC) and scan tool.

• Look at DLC and check for cracked or recessed pins, or for any substance that could prevent a good electrical connection.

• Test for continuity between the DLC wiring and the computer. In an extreme case, there may be a broken wire.

• Check for bent or broken pins.

• With the engine off, check for blown fuses in the vehicle fuse box.

• Make sure the vehicle’s control module has a good ground. If the computer case is grounded, then clean the connection and apply a conductive (dielectric) grease to the mating surfaces.

• With the key on engine off (KOEO), verify vehicle battery voltage is at least 8.0V.

8 Appendix B—Glossary

A/C:

Air conditioner

A/D:

Analog to digital

A/F:

Air/Fuel ratio. The proportion of air and fuel delivered to the cylinder for combustion. For example, an A/F ratio of

14:1 denotes 14 times as much air as fuel in the mixture.

Ideally the A/F ratio is 14.7:1.

ABS:

Anti-lock brake system

A/C clutch relay:

The PCM uses this relay to energize the A/C clutch, turning the A/C compressor on or off.

A/C pressure sensor:

Measures air conditioning refrigerant pressure and sends a voltage signal to the PCM.

A/C pressure switch:

A mechanical switch connected to the A/C refrigerant line. The switch is activated (sending a signal to the

PCM) when the A/C refrigerant pressure becomes too low or high.

Actuator:

Actuators such as relays, solenoids, and motors allow the PCM to control the operation of vehicle systems.

Air Injection Reaction (AIR) System:

An emission control system operated by the PCM. During cold starts, an air pump injects outside air into the exhaust manifold to help burn hot exhaust gases. This reduces pollution and speeds warm-up of oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. After the engine is warm, the air will either be dumped back to the atmosphere (or into the air cleaner assembly) or sent to the catalytic converter.

APP:

Acceleration pedal position (sensor)

ASR:

Acceleration slip regulation
