On-Board Diagnostics Overview
The Novatel Wireless MT 3060 connects to a vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII) port and monitors
the OBDII system using communication protocols. An On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system controls
engine functions and serves as the diagnostic control network of the vehicle. All cars built and sold in
the United States since 1996 require the newer OBDII system.
You can configure the MT 3060 to provide notification messages based on events triggered by:
lAccelerometer change
lCheck engine light (MIL alert)
lEngine RPM
lGPS information
lIdle time
lLow fuel
lTrip Odometer (trip distance)
lVehicle battery voltage (low battery warning)
lVehicle Identification Number (VIN)
lVehicle speed
WARNING! Some vehicles are not compatible with the MT 3060. If a vehicle is not compatible with
the required MT 3060 parameters, then functionality may be limited, problematic, or unavailable.
The 1979 Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE) standard defines the method for requesting
diagnostics data and provides a list of standard parameters from the engine control unit.
Since the vehicle manufacturer is responsible for complying with the SAE standard, Novatel Wireless
cannot guarantee that the MT 3060 will perform with every vehicle.
