1. Safety Precautions and Warnings To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool,read this user’s manual first carefully and observe the following safety Precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle: + Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. * Do not attempt to operate or observe the tool while driving a vehicle, Operating or observing the tool will cause driver distraction and could cause a fatal accident.
1. General Information 2.1 On-Board Diagnostics) Il The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics(call OBD I) was developed by the California Air Resources Starboard) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles, As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board diagnostic System was developed.

2.4 (@F OBD II Readiness Monitors An important part of a vehicle's OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, ‘which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBD II system. They are mining periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits. Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I'M Monitors) defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The following monitors are to be used for spark ignition (Ga soling) engines only: 1) EGR System 2) 02 Sensors 3) Catalyst 4) Evaporation System 5) 02 Sensor Heater 6) Secondary air 7) Heated Catalyst The following monitors are to be used for compression ignition (Diesel) engines only: 1) Ecosystem 2) NM Catalyst 3) NOx after treatment 4) Boost pressure system 5) Exhaust gas sensor 6) PM filter 2.
2.6 OBD II Definitions Power-train Control Module (PCM) — OBD II terminology for the on-board Computer that controls engine and drive train. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) — Malfunction Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument panel. It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a problem with one or more of vehicle's systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal standards.
2.7 OBD II Modes of Operation Here is a basic introduction to the OBD II communication protocol. Mode byte : The first byte in the stream is the mode number. There are 10 modes for diagnostic requests. The first byte in the response data bytes is this same number plus 64. For example, a mode 1 request would have the first data byte =1, and the response would have the first data byte=65.
Mode $06 — Non-continuously Monitored Systems test results. There are typically a minimum value, a maximum value, and a current value for each non-continuous monitor. This data is optional, and it is defined by a given vehicle maker if it's used. Mode $07 Request for DECs (pending) from Continuously Monitored Systems after a single driving cycle has been performed to determine if repair has fixed a problem.
