Getting Started Introduction to On-Board Diagnostics OBD I The original on-board diagnostics (OBD I) lacked consistency in communication and interface while allowing different interpretations among vehicle manufacturers. Ford and Chrysler used different types of engine control computers and data link connectors ( DLCs), and GM varied the trouble codes and communication protocols from year-to-year.
Getting Started 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.
Getting Started Ford On-Board Diagnostics System Long Name MCU Microprocessor Control Unit EEC-IV MECS EEC-V 2 PTEC Years Electronic Engine Control, Fourth generation Mazda Electronic Control System Electronic Engine Control, Fifth generation Powertrain Electronic Controller Description Used in police vehicles, containing carbureted 1980 –1991 engines. Uses the MCU DLC. Most Ford vehicles equipped with North 1984 –1995 American engines. Uses the EEC-IV DLC.
Getting Started Data Link Connector (DLC) The data link connector (DLC) allows the Scan Tool to communicate with the vehicle’s computer(s). Before OBD II, manufacturers used different DLC’s to communicate with the vehicle. use the proper DLC adapter cable to connect the Scan Tool to the vehicle. Also, the vehicle’s DLC may be found in several different places and have many different configurations. The following describes the DLCs used by Ford, GM and Chrysler.

Appendix C – 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.
Glossary BCM: Body Control Module Boost Control Solenoid: A solenoid that is energized by the PCM, in order to control turbo/supercharger boost pressure. Brake Switch Signal: An input signal to the PCM indicating that the brake pedal is being pressed. This signal is typically used to disengage Cruise Control systems and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoids. See also TCC. CAM: Camshaft Position Sensor. Sends a frequency signal to the PCM in order to synchronize fuel injector and spark plug firing.

A resistance sensor that sends a voltage signal to the PCM indicating the temperature of the coolant. This signal tells the PCM whether the engine is cold or warm.
Glossary EFI: Electronic Fuel Injection. Any system where a computer controls fuel delivery to the engine by using fuel injectors. EGR: Exhaust Gas Recirculation. The PCM uses the EGR system to recirculate exhaust gases back into the intake manifold to reduce emissions. EGR is used only during warm engine cruise conditions. EOP: Engine Oil Pressure (Switch) EOT Engine Oil Temperature (Sensor) EPA: Environmental Protection Agency. ESC: Electronic Spark Control.

A device mounted on the throttle body which adjusts the amount of air bypassing a closed throttle so that the PCM can control idle speed. IAT: Intake Air Temperature (Sensor) ICM: Ignition Control Module. IMRC: Intake Manifold Runner Control IPC: Instrument Panel Cluster ISC: Idle Speed Control.
Glossary MAP: Manifold Absolute Pressure (sensor). Measures intake manifold vacuum or pressure and sends a frequency or voltage signal (depending on sensor type) to the PCM. This gives the PCM information on engine load for control of fuel delivery, spark advance, and EGR flow. MAT: Manifold Air Temperature (sensor). A resistance sensor in the intake manifold that sends a voltage signal to the PCM indicating the temperature of the incoming air. The PCM uses this signal for fuel delivery calculations.

The brains of the engine and transmission control systems housed in a metal box with a number of sensors and actuators connected via a wiring harness. Its job is to control fuel delivery, idle speed, spark advance timing, and emission systems. The PCM receives information from sensors, then energizes various actuators to control the engine.
Glossary ROM: Read-Only Memory. Permanent programming information stored inside the PCM, containing the information the PCM needs to operate a specific vehicle model/engine combination. RPM: Revolutions Per Minute SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers. Scan Tool: A device that interfaces with and communicates information on a data link. SDM: Sensing and Diagnostic Module Sensor x: A standard term used to identify the location of oxygen sensors. Sensor 1 is located upstream of the catalytic converter.

When a piston is at its uppermost position in the cylinder. TFP: Transmission Fluid Pressure TFT: Transmission Fluid Temperature (Sensor) Throttle Body: A device which performs the same function as a carburetor in a fuel injection system.
Glossary Warm-up Cycle: Warm-up cycle is when the engine coolant temperature rises at least 40 degrees above that at engine start up. WOT: Wide-Open Throttle. The vehicle operating condition brought about when the throttle is completely (or nearly) open. The PCM typically delivers extra fuel to the engine and de-energizs the A/C compressor at this time for acceleration purposes. The PCM uses a switch or the TPS to identify the WOT condition.
