OBD: European On Board Diagnostics

With OBD (On Board Diagnostics), a Europe-wide Malfunction indicator (MI)

engine.In accordance with the OBD
Bosch test equipment makes the perfect guideline (as of EURO 3), the indicator lamp lights up if:
diagnosis possible Ñ A fault occurs that leads to cylinder shutoff to protect
Ñ Standardized diagnosis interface the catalytic converter (misfire detection). In this case,
ÑS

Ñ Standardized diagnosis statements Ñ An exhaust-gas-related fault occurs in two successive

Aims of OBD OBD operating data

Ñ Continuous monitoring of components relevant Mode 1 Exhaust-gas-related actual values, system

Ñ Immediate detection and display of important Mode 2 Data from the engine environment
emissions increases over the entire service life (environmental conditions during
of each and every vehicle fault detection)
Ñ Permanently low exhaust emissions Mode 3 Exhaust-gas-related error codes
Ñ Protection of vehicle components at risk (debounced)
(e.g. catalytic converter) Mode 4 Deleting exhaust-gas-related error codes
Ñ Storage of information regarding faults that Mode 5 Lambda control loop circuit values
have occurred Mode 7 Non-debounced, current error codes
