On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System: Introduction
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system, which detects malfunctions related to engine sensors or actuators. The ECM also records various emission-related diagnostic information including:
| Emission-related diagnostic information | Diagnostic service |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) | Service $03 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| Freeze Frame data | Service $02 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| System Readiness Test (SRT) code | Service $01 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| 1st trip Diagnostic Trouble Code (1st Trip DTC) | Service $07 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| 1st trip Freeze Frame data | - |
| Test values and Test limits | Service $06 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| Calibration ID | Service $09 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| Permanent Diagnostic Trouble Code (Permanent DTC) | Service $0A* of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 |
| *: Service $0A is not applied for regions where it is not mandated. | |
