What is OBD2?
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD2) is a standardised system that allows external electronics to interface with a car’s computer system. It was introduced in 1996 as a means of regulating emissions and as a solution to the mass adoption of electronic fuel injection by automakers. Electronic fuel injection requires computer control as it regulates fuel flow by interpreting electronic signals from various engine related components, rather than just mechanical throttle actuation.
Diagnostics are the primary purpose of the OBD2 system. Upon detecting something amiss, a vehicle’s sensors will trigger a message or ‘trouble code’ which, if detected three consecutive times on vehicle start up, will trigger the ‘Check Engine Light’ on the dash. OBD2 scanners check these trouble codes and determine where these/any problems lie. Once a problem is resolved, the OBD2’s memory can be cleared, and the ‘Check Engine Light’ will no longer be on.
