What is the OBD-2 connector?
OBD-II is a set of specifications for monitoring and reporting on engine emissions, monitoring and performance in modern automobiles. The OBD-2 connector must have pins 4, 5 for ground connections and pin 16 for 12 volt power supply from the vehicle battery. Prior to OBD, auto manufacturers did not standardize DTC’s (diagnostic trouble code).
What is an OBD II PID code?
OBD-II PIDs. OBD-II PIDs ( On-board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool. SAE standard J1979 defines many OBD-II PIDs. All on-road vehicles and trucks sold in North America are required to support a subset of these codes, primarily for state mandated emissions inspections.
What is OBD-II diagnostic response?
The OBD-II standards have prompted design of standard devices that can query for particular information like value of a vehicle parameter. This query, the diagnostic request is sent to the concerned ECU in the vehicle. The ECU responds with applicable DTCs, termed as the diagnostic response.
