OBD-I and OBD-II: A Complete Guide to Diagnosis, Repair, and Emissions Compliance

Description:

Onboard diagnostics (OBD) systems have been an integral part of vehicle design for decades, as OBD-II became mandatory in 1996 for all cars manufactured in the United States. Almost every aspect of the diagnostics system evolved from emissions requirements that were placed on the automotive industry. Manufacturers responded with increasing complexity in the electronic controls and reporting of errors. Fortunately, some commonization followed in the industry, which made the job of a repair technician or do-it-yourself enthusiast slightly easier when working on these challenging systems. Passing emissions testing has become critically important to manufacturers of high-performance parts and installation shops. Both the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) have assessed massive fines for violations of the Clean Air Act based on information that is available from the vehicle’s OBD system. Many states now require vehicles to pass an OBD check to renew the registration, making proper operation even more important to consumers.OBD-I & OBD-II: A Complete Guide to Diagnosis, Repair, & Emissions Compliance is an insider’s guide to modern original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diagnostics systems. As a former diagnostics and performance calibration engineer, Greg Banish guides you through critical electronic control unit (ECU) functions that ultimately lead to why the "check engine" light on the dash is lit. Strategies are provided for how to begin looking for a solution when problems are detected. Listing every imaginable repair is impossible, but this book provides a solid foundation from which to work by explaining the electronic control unit ECU's logic in plain English. Practical examples from the author’s experience highlight important lessons that will save hours of frustration and confusion. In addition to repair tips, sound advice is given for those looking to modify their vehicles while maintaining the full functionality of the emissions and diagnostics systems.

Modern diagnostics systems can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your level of understanding. This book helps you harness the power of the diagnostics inside the ECU to improve the ability to find and make the right repair the first time. This book shows that by using commonly available electronic tools, the consumer has the power to access a wealth of information about his or her vehicle. It also helps those who are looking to improve performance do so without compromise to the environment or enforcement agencies. Whether you want to repair the vehicle yourself or simply want to possess an understanding of how these systems work while dealing with service professionals, this is the guide you need.

"No matter your motivation or need, the information in this plain-spoken volume will, indeed, make it a worthwhile-helpful-to-you purchase." -- Helen V. Hutchings ― speedreaders.info Published On: 2023-07-24

About the Author

Greg Banish is an experienced automotive engineer, trainer, and consultant who lives near Detroit, Michigan. He earned a degree in mechanical engineering from GMI (now Kettering University) in 1999. With more than two decades of experience as an OEM calibration engineer, he released OEM calibrations for millions of vehicles after spending endless hours in the test labs and on development trips in the harshest of conditions. A true industry insider, he was responsible for many of the values seen inside the ECU by technicians and tuners on those vehicles. Over the years, his duties included base engine mapping, torque control, diagnostics, vehicle emissions, and hybrid-vehicle fuel-economy calibration.

Product details by manufacturer

Backgrounds & Origins

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), also commonly referred to as the check engine light, is tested at every startup to make sure it is working. After that, it is used to alert the driver to a condition that needs to be addressed to keep the engine running properly.

Product details by manufacturer

Uses of OBD

Some auto-parts stores allow you to connect a scan tool to your vehicle for free while you’re there in hopes that you will also purchase the parts necessary to repair the vehicle on the same visit. Of course, they also sell several versions of these tools.

Product details by manufacturer

CAN & Other Networks

The introduction of SAE J1962 brought a common connection point to all vehicles along with common power and ground locations within that connector. Early data pins varied, but eventually became standardized with the introduction of CAN.

Product details by manufacturer

I’ve been preaching it for years: proper calibration requires a fair amount of steady-state measurement on a load-bearing dyno to build the base maps. Thus, a Mustang dynamometer with an eddy current absorber lets the user hold the engine at a constant RPM while the driver controls engine load with the accelerator pedal to get the necessary measurements.

Product details by manufacturer

Basic Engine Controls

Manufacturers have gone from single knock sensors to the most sensitive applications having one almost touching each individual cylinder to better capture the noise at the source. Raw knock-sensor signals are filtered for timing relative to those cylinders’ combustion events and the frequency of the expected noise.

Product details by manufacturer

Fault Code Fundamentals

If a wheel-speed sensor is unplugged or failing, it should show up as a C code on the scan tool. This may have a direct impact on powertrain behavior because so many engine and transmission controls are tied to vehicle speed inputs.

Product details by manufacturer

Generic SAE Fault Codes

Looking at this data shows both banks of this engine maxed out with 2-percent positive fuel trims and still more positive adjustment happening in the short-term trims. This is normal for a case where the P0171/P0174 faults have been set for “Bank 1/Bank 2 Lean” as the ECU tries to correct the error.
