CAN OBDII SCANNER User’s Manual - 56 - 4.4 - Appendix D –What is EOBD, EOBD2 and OBD-II What is EOBD? EOBD is an abbreviation of European On-Board Diagnostics. All petrol cars sold within Europe since 1 Jan 2001, and diesel cars manufactured from 2003, must have on-board diagnostic systems to monitor engine emissions. These systems were introduced in line with European Directive 98/69/EC to monitor and reduce emissions from cars.
- 57 - CAN OBDII SCANNER User’s Manual Which pins contacts should be present on the connector? Different pins on the connector are used by different manufacturers. There are 5 pin out combinations within the standard, each of which uses a specific communications protocol. These are listed below: Note: For ISO/KWP2000 communications, pin 15 (L-line) is not always required. Pin 15 was used on earlier ISO/KWP2000 cars to "wake-up" the ECU before communication could begin on pin 7 (K-Line).
CAN OBDII SCANNER User’s Manual - 58 - Additional pins may be wired on your car - these may be used by the vehicle Manufacturer for other purposes. Which protocol is used by each manufacturer? As a rough guide, the protocols are generally found on cars from the following manufacturers: Only the latest scan tools and code readers can be relied upon to read the diagnostic information through the EOBD socket.
- 59 - CAN OBDII SCANNER User’s Manual Problem diagnosis With the modern tools, skilled technicians should be able to diagnose and solve many of the problems, which prior to this, required the sophisticated console tools of main dealers. New technology The introduction of European on-board diagnostics standards has opened up new opportunities for car workshops and owners.
CAN OBDII SCANNER User’s Manual - 60 - "I have seen these/similar products advertised as working on all 1996 and newer cars - why don't yours?" "I've just bought an OBDII/EOBD tool from someone else that was advertised as working with all 1996 and newer cars. Why doesn't it work on my [1999 Vauxhall Vectra]?" Here is the answer... In 1996 in the United States, a Federal Law came into force requiring all US-sold cars to be OBDII compliant.
- 61 - CAN OBDII SCANNER User’s Manual Vauxhall Peugeot Citroen Fiat Please be aware that we do not try to sell these tools as something they are not. What is EOBD2? EOBD2 is not a new version of EOBD. Where EOBD stands for 'European On-Board Diagnostics', EOBD2 actually stands for 'Enhanced On-Board Diagnostics, Second Generation'.
