OBD, GENERAL INFORMATION

The following table provides quick links to all Information in this service information.

GENERIC SCAN TOOL MANUAL CONTENTS

"GST" is an acronym for Generic Scan Tool Information.

Included in the contents of this GST information is a summary table of the vehicle specific OBD II Emission Related Engine and Transmission DTCs. This table contains all necessary Malfunction Criteria, Threshold Values, Secondary Parameters, Enabling Conditions, Monitoring Time Length, Frequency of Checks, and MIL Illumination to accurately monitor and diagnose the Engine Emissions and Transmission and perform all functions required to run Modes 01 through 09 with a hand held scan tool. For a further description of the monitor strategies, a document reference has been provided throughout this GST information to the applicable OBD System Strategy document.

This GST information also contains the step by step pin point test procedures to accurately diagnose the suspected component or system once a DTC has been set. All references to repair procedures and wiring diagrams will be found within the diagnostic test procedure.

OBD SYSTEMS

OBD II

"OBD" is an acronym for the On Board Diagnostic System.

California OBD II applies to all gasoline engine vehicles up to 14, 000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) starting in the 1996 MY and all diesel engine vehicles up to 14, 000 lbs. GVWR starting in the 1997 MY.

Several states in the Northeastern United States have chosen to adopt the California emission regulations starting in the 1998 MY and are known as "Green States".

Green States receive California-certified vehicles for passenger cars and light trucks up to 6, 000 lbs. GVWR. Starting in the 2004 MY, Federal vehicle over 8, 500 lbs. will start phasing in OBD II.

Starting in 2004 MY, gasoline-fueled Medium Duty Passenger Vehicles (MDPVs) are required to have OBD II. Federal OBD II applies to all gasoline engine vehicles up to 8, 500 lbs. GVWR starting in the 1996 MY and all diesel engine vehicles up to 8, 500 lbs. GVWR starting in the 1997 MY.

OBD II system implementation and operation is described in the remainder of this document.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP

"MIL" is an acronym for the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.

If the ECM recognizes a malfunction that leads to increased emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the MIL which is located in the instrument cluster.

The ECM switches on the MIL after the ignition is switched on. Shortly after the engine is started, The MIL goes out if the ECM does not detect a malfunction that increases the emissions values.

If the ECM recognizes a malfunction that leads to increased emissions during the operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the MIL and an entry is stored in the DTC memory of the ECM.

"CAN" is an acronym for Controller Area Network.

The ECM communicates with all databus capable control modules by a CAN Data Link.

The databus capable control modules (i.e. Engine Coolant temperature Sensor) are connected by two data bus wires which are twisted together (CAN_High and CAN_Low), and exchange information (messages) to the ECM. Missing information on the databus is then recognized and stored as a malfunction.

The ECM illuminates the MIL through the CAN data link and tells the MIL to turn on, turn off, or blink.

ELECTRONIC POWER CONTROL WARNING LAMP

"EPC" is an acronym that stands for the Electronic Power Control (E-gas).

The ECM monitors all EPC components after the ignition is switched on.

If a malfunction is recognized in the EPC system during the operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the EPC which is located in the instrument cluster and an entry is stored in the DTC memory of the ECM.

DIAGNOSTIC MODES

The information provided in Modes 01 through 09 displays the various levels of emission related data that may be monitored, as well as the ability to retrieve and read stored DTC trouble codes, erase stored DTC trouble codes, generate readiness codes, and select the various PIDs and Test-IDs used within the modes to monitor the engine, and emission related component parameters.

The following table provides a link to all diagnostic modes that monitor all components and systems which influence the emission quality.

Note. Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

DIAGNOSTIC MODE 01 - READ CURRENT SYSTEM DATA

Diagnostic Mode 01 makes it possible to access current emissions-related measured values and diagnostic data. The original measured values (no replacement values), input and output data and system status information are displayed using Diagnostic Mode 1.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 01 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

End of Procedure

DIAGNOSTIC MODE 02 - READ OPERATING CONDITIONS

When an emissions-related fault (pending DTC, visible in mode 07) is first detected, operating conditions are stored. Diagnostic Mode 02 makes it possible to access this freeze frame data as soon as this fault is shown in mode 03. Each control module only shows freeze frame data for one fault via Mode 02. Therefore, there are two priority levels. If there is a malfunction with higher priority, the freeze frame data is overwritten.

Fault with higher priority: Misfire malfunction or fuel supply system malfunction.

Fault with normal priority: All other emissions-related faults.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 02 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.
