OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics)

OBD-II is a computer system that tracks major vehicle components like the engine and emission controls to minimize pollution. It consists of an ECU that uses sensor inputs to control actuators. The check engine light warns drivers of issues. Mechanics can access over 200 diagnostic parameters through the onboard diagnostic port using external devices.

OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics)

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) is a computer-controlled system originally developed to


minimize emissions by tracking the output of major components such as the engine,
catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensor, pollution(emission) control system,
fuel system, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
The basic OBD system consists of an ECU, which uses input signals from different
sensors to control the actuators to achieve the desired performance. The "Check Engine
Light," also known as a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), provides early warning of
malfunction to the driver. A modern vehicle supports hundreds of parameters that can be
accessed through the Diagnostic Connection Connector (DLC) by using external
diagnostic devices.
