3 Basic Description
The on-Board Diagnostics system is composed of a computer that monitors the emissions system
and key engine components. It can usually detect a malfunction or deterioration in these
components before the driver becomes aware of the problem.

OBD systems are designed to alert the driver when a component in the engine management or
emissions systems begins to deteriorate or malfunction. Early detection of minor problems, followed
by timely repair, can often prevent more costly damage to components such as the catalytic
converter.
OBD ll is an electronic device which locates its position, PIDs, DTC and sends it by using GPRS
network. This device is suitable for applications, where it needs the location of remote vehicle and
vehicle health check-up’s.
