OBD-II, a new standard introduced in the mid-'90s, provides almost complete engine control and also monitors parts of the chassis, body and accessory devices, as well as the diagnostic control network of the car. All cars and light trucks built and sold in North America after January 1, 1996 were required to be OBD II equipped. In general, this means all 1996 model year cars and light trucks are compliant, even if built in late 1995. See similar questions...

OBD II compliant vehicles must also have a 16-pin connector located in plain sight underneath the dash near the driver's seat. Alternatively it may be behind ashtrays or concealed by an easily removed plastic cover, sometimes with the letters "OBD" stamped on the outside. See similar questions...

OBD, or On Board Diagnostics, is a system used on automobiles to monitor some components and to detect malfunction. If some component is not functioning properly, information about the system is stored in an on-board computer so it can be recovered later by the service technician. OBD-II is the second and the most current version of this technology. See similar questions...

From a request from a major production boat company in 2005, all OceanLED lights are fitted with Plug & Play connectors from the world renowned connector manufacturer Deutsch. All connectors are IP68 rated and comply with ABYC regulations, E11. We also recommend a synthetic connector grease to maximise connector performance, check the accessories page for further details.

OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and this is the second generation of this technology. Starting in 1996, all vehicles sold in the United States were required to include this technology. It requires a computer on board the vehicle that monitors the engine and power train systems and logs any problems that could cause the vehicle's emissions to increase. A failed OBD-II test means that there is a problem with the vehicle. See similar questions...

OBD stands for "on-board diagnos?tics," a computer-based system built into all model year (MY) 1996 and newer light-duty cars and trucks. OBD monitors the performance of some of the engines' major compo?nents, including individual emis?sion controls. The system provides owners with an early warning of malfunctions by way of a dashboard "Check Engine" light (also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light or MIL, for short). See similar questions...

CE Series amplifiers feature Neutrik Speakon connectors for output wiring. Speakons allow both channels of amplifier output to be wired to the same connector. See Crown's ProGuide for using the Speakon NL4FC assembly for complete instructions (pdf file, requires Adobe Acrobat to read). See similar questions...

On-Board Diagnostic systems (OBD) on 1996 and newer vehicles will be checked as part of Delaware’s vehicle inspection program. OBD technology benefits motorists, repair technicians and our environment. It’s good for motorists because it monitors the vehicles performance every time it is driven and identifies problems immediately allowing service to be done before more serious problems develop.

The CodeReader will read codes from 95% of Japanese & Korean vehicles assembled outside of the USA and Europe from 1983 to 2003. This includes Engine (Petrol), ABS, Transmision, Airbags, and EFI Deisel code systems. For example the CodeReader will Automatically read codes from 95% of these Japanese and Korean assembled makes: EOBD only relates to Engine and Transmission diagnostic codes, for vehicles sold into the EEC (European) countries after January 2001.

The OBD II offers a buffer that will keep you or us from damaging your vehicle. The OBD II is used strictly to retrieve and diagnose your vehicles information and is not designed to tamper with or change anything outside of its domain. The only thing that the OBD II can modify on your vehicle is the check engine light and the error codes associated with that function. See similar questions...

OBD stands for Onboard Diagnostics and OBDII stands for 2nd generation Onboard Diagnostics. In the early 90's CARB (California Air Research Board) and the federal government realized that even with the most sophisticated emission controls and standards, it is all for naught if the system is not working properly.

OBD-1 is in reference to Title 13 California Code 1968 titled "Malfunction and Diagnostic System for 1988 and Subsequent Model Year Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles with three-way Catalyst Systems and Feedback Control." filed on 11-15-85. This required cars sold in California to have an on-board computer processor for on-board self diagnostics of computer sensed emission related components, fuel metering device and EGR (exhaust gas recirculation system).

BAR has the authority to require license applicants (initial and renewal), to attend update training on new automotive technology, prior to filing an application for a smog technician license. In 1996, all vehicle manufacturers were required to adopt a new engine performance computer operating system called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II). To successfully inspect and repair these vehicles, Smog Check technicians need to be trained on this system. See similar questions...

All cars built since January 1, 1996 have OBD-II systems. Manufacturers started incorporating OBD-II in various models as early as 1994. Some early OBD-II cars were not 100% compliant. There are three basic OBD-II protocols in use, each with minor variations on the communication pattern between the on-board diagnostic computer and the scanner console or tool. See similar questions...

Pre-OBD-II cars had connectors in various positions under the dashboard and under the hood. All OBD-II cars have a connector located in the passenger compartment easily accessible from the driver's seat. Check under the dash or behind or near the ashtray. A cable is plugged into the OBD-II J1962 connector and connected to AutoTap or another scan tool. AutoTap is available in PC/laptop or a Palm PDA versions. See similar questions...

In some ways they are do have an advantage, they are small and robust and are totally standalone, they cover all three protocols ( ISO,PWM and VPW ). However they do not have the same capability as software based systems and are specifically aimed at fault diagnosis, DTC retrieval etc ( see our shop for a more detailed description).
