On-Board Diagnostics System in Mission Viejo, CA

The OBD System, or On-Board Diagnostics System, was originally installed to monitor vehicle emissions. It also detects problems within the engine or other vehicle systems.

Both OBD I and OBD II systems exist. OBD II systems becoming the standard in vehicles manufactured after 1996.

The OBD is connected to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU helps your engine run efficiently while keeping emissions low.

• The OBD can identify and warn the driver of engine malfunction. It sends error notifications to the ECU system.
• The ECU is in charge of several engine functions, including the mixture of air and fuel, emissions, and engine timing.
• The ECU uses sensors to monitor them or make adjustments. If the ECU detects malfunctions, it turns on the “check engine” light on the dashboard.
• The OBD system then records the code pertaining to the problem.
• The code can be accessed by a trained technician through engine diagnostic equipment. This allows for proper diagnoses of the issue.

What is the importance of the On-Board Diagnostics system?

The OBD system is mandatory. Because of this, your car is capable of monitoring and diagnosing its own performance.
