General Information of OBDII (On- Board Diagnostics II)
The OBDII system is designed to monitor a vehicle's emission control systems and key engine
components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specifi c components and vehicle
conditions. This is done with three pieces of such valuable information:
• Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is “on” or “off”;
• Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;
• Readiness Monitoring status.
