General Information

2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Il
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBD 1) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 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. This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called “OBD II”
The OBD Il system is designed to monitor emission control  systems and key engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific components and vehicle conditions.When a problem is detected, the OBD Il system turns on a warning  lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically by the phrase “Check Engine” or *Service Engine Soon”. The system will also store important information about the detected malfunction so that a technician can accurately find and fix the  problem. Here below follow three pieces of such valuable Information:

Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded ‘on’ or Off;

Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;

Readiness Monitor States.

2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
OBD Il Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault  might be occurring within a vehicle. OBD Il Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the code. The other four characters, all numbers, provide additional information on  where the DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to be set. Below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:

Figure 1-2: Explanation of a diagnostic trouble code.

2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel  (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If the Data Link Connector is not located under the dashboard, a label should be there revealing its location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray  must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

Figure 1-3: The DLC connector (left) can be found in the area of the car interior seen at right (black arrow).
