On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Diagnosing OBD vehicles has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. It is no
longer sufficient to just test drive the vehicle after a repair and monitor the MIL. In
order to be certain a repair is successful, a technician may need to test drive a
vehicle under specific operating conditions, be aware of various internal PCM
counters and have the ability to navigate and understand many DRBIII screens.
This course is designed to increase your diagnostic skills utilizing the DRBIII. At
the conclusion of the course you will have the confidence to access diagnostic screens
and verify your repairs by running the OBD monitors.
This publication includes screen captures performed with DRBIII software version
50.1. DRBIII screen format may change with software updates, however the basic
principles conveyed by each screen will not change. Additionally, pre-test OBD
DRBIII screens may not list all conditions needed to enable a monitor.
This publication is based on U.S. specific OBD monitors. Some monitors may not
apply to every global region.

Secondary Indicators: This is a screen with live data used to detect an intermittent
open or short. When a system/component has met every criterion to set a fault, with
the exception of length of time, system data is recorded on this screen. This screen is
useful for conducting a wiggle test. Because this screen broadcasts live data, it
must be viewed while the malfunction is detected. The data is lost when the screen is
exited.
Freeze Frame Data #1: Freeze Frame records the specific operating conditions
present at the time of a system or component failure. Freeze Frame 1 satisfies CARB
regulations and contains the first MIL-illuminating DTC that was set, even if the DTC
is no longer a hard fault. Freeze Frame 1 can only be overwritten by a higher priority
DTC. It can be self-cleared by the PCM following the successful completion of three
good trips, followed by 40 warm-up cycles. As always, DTCs and Freeze Frames can
be erased with the DRBIII.
Freeze Frame Data #2: If more than one fault is set, generally the most recent fault
is stored in Freeze Frame 2.
Note:

Some vehicles, such as those equipped with the Siemens or NGC


engine controllers, contain more than two Freeze Frames to track
additional faults. Vehicles which have more than two Freeze Frames
may not record and overwrite fault data in the same sequence as
vehicles that have only two Freeze Frames.

One-Trip Failure: This screen records 1-trip failures. The conditions to set a 1-trip
failure are identical to those of a MIL-illuminating DTC. The only difference is that
the PCM has been programmed not to illuminate the MIL until after the second
consecutive occurrence of the condition.
Clear DTCs & OBD II Info: Selecting this option clears all DTC, Freeze Frame, and
OBD II related information.
Clear PCM: This function clears all DTCs, OBD information, and all learned values
(IAC position, fuel adaptives, etc.).

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


Distance Since MIL DTC Set: This European regulation has also been adopted for
some U.S. model vehicles. Refer to the Distance Since MIL Set DRBIII screen for
more information.
Note:

In compliance with Warranty Bulletin D-01-16, dated May, 2001, you


are required to enter the Problem Code(s) (P-Codes) associated with a
repair containing a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) failure code. The
technician must record these codes on the "hard copy" of the repair
order. If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has completely failed,
the vehicle does not generate a P-Code. In this case, the problem code
"PDEAD" should be used.

Description: Freeze Frame is a snapshot of engine operating conditions at the time a


failure occurs. Freeze Frame data is stored for MIL-illuminating DTCs and 1-trip
failures. When the second consecutive occurrence of the 1-trip failure is detected,
the data stored in Freeze Frame is not overwritten, only its priority is updated. Only
a fault of a higher priority can overwrite a fault in Freeze Frame 1.

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


There are five types of priorities:
Priority 0: Non-emissions fault
Priority 1: 1-trip failure of a 2-trip fault, non-fuel system or misfire
Priority 2: 1-trip failure of a 2-trip fault, fuel system or misfire
Priority 3: Second consecutive failure of a 2-trip fault, non-fuel system or misfire
OR
Matured 1-trip comprehensive component fault
Priority 4: Second consecutive failure of a 2-trip fault, fuel or misfire
OR
1-trip catalyst damaging misfire (on older OBD equipped vehicles)
Freeze Frame 1 vs. Freeze Frame 2: Freeze Frame 1 always contains the DTC
responsible for the first MIL illumination, whether the MIL is currently illuminated for
that particular fault or not. The only exception is if a higher priority fault has
overwritten the information in Freeze Frame 1. Freeze Frame 1 can only be
overwritten by a higher priority fault. If it is overwritten, the DTC is NOT moved to
Freeze Frame 2, but is overwritten.
Freeze Frame 2 contains any subsequent DTCs. If a new DTC occurs, it overwrites
the fault currently in Freeze Frame 2, unless the fault is a higher priority than the
one in Freeze Frame 1. In this case, the new fault overwrites the fault in Freeze
Frame 1.

Distance Since MIL DTC Set: This European regulation has also been adopted for
some U.S. model vehicles. Once a DTC is set and the MIL is illuminated, a counter
begins to record mileage. When viewing mileage increment on the DRBIII, notice
that it is only updated at 0.6 mile intervals. When the MIL is extinguished the
mileage counter no longer advances, but the recorded mileage remains in memory
until the DTC is cleared (typically 40 warm-up cycles) or another DTC is set. When
another DTC is set the counter begins at zero and increments until the MIL is
extinguished.

information prior to an I/M emissions test. Inspection/maintenance stations are
paying closer attention to CARB readiness indicators. A customer may be denied an
emissions test if all OBD monitors have not been successfully run. A recent change
in EPA legislation has granted states the right to use the CARB readiness indicators
to demonstrate emissions compliance, in lieu of the conventional tailpipe sampling.

Task Manager Data: This hex byte is the sum of all other hex data listed.
Engine Good Trip This Trip: A good trip could indicate two different scenarios:
1.

The vehicles emissions compliance was demonstrated this trip by running the
O2 and Catalyst monitors during the current drive cycle.
2.
A previously detected malfunction did not re-occur on the current trip.
Engine Warm-Up Cycle Counter: The PCM begins counting warm-up cycles after
the MIL is extinguished. Forty consecutive warm-up cycles without further
occurrence of the failure allow self-erasure of the DTC and Freeze Frame. Eighty
warm-up cycles are required for continuous running monitors that are unable to
meet the parameters of the similar conditions window.
EATX Good Trips: An EATX good trip is accomplished when, on a warm engine, the
transmission is shifted in every gear range, including P, R, N, 1, 2, 3, 4, and EMCC,
for a predetermined length of time without a fault.

Purpose: This split-screen informs the user when the conditions have been met to
run the oxygen sensor monitor. Pre-test enabling conditions are located on the top
half of the screen, and the conditions required to actually run the monitor are located
on the bottom half of the screen.
How to Use This Screen: The main objective of this and other similar pre-test
screens is to make the arrows go away. When the conditions are met, the arrows
disappear and the monitor should run.
Performing the Pre-Test: The vehicle can be driven, either on the road or on a lift, to
satisfy the conditions of a pre-test. The parameters of this pre-test include several
timers. The expiration of the timers indicates to the PCM that the vehicle, including
the exhaust components, is hot enough to ensure accurate test results. To meet
these enabling conditions, drive the vehicle until the arrows on the screen disappear.
Once all pre-test conditions have been satisfied, bring the vehicle to a complete stop,
leaving an automatic transmission equipped vehicle in gear. You can now ignore the
arrows on top of the screen and begin satisfying the conditions on the bottom half of
the screen.
Monitor: Once the above conditions have been satisfied and the vehicle is at a stop,
the monitor should run within 15-30 seconds.
Catalyst Temperature: Catalyst temperature is a calculated value based on load,
road speed, ambient temperature, short-term and long-term fuel correction, spark
advance, run time, coolant temp, etc. This is also known as the Catalyst
Temperature Model. This calculated value is used to ensure that the exhaust system
has reached a significant operating temperature to successfully run the monitor.

Purpose: This screen indicates the status of the particular monitor.


1/1 O2 Monitor Test Time: The length of time it takes to run the monitor is
recorded on this line. This is an excellent way to track a sluggish O2 sensor.
1/1 O2 Half-Cycle Counter: The counter records the activity of the O2 sensor
during the monitor by counting the number of times the O2 voltage exceeds the
upper switch point (0.80 volts) and falls below the lower switch point (0.20 volts).
1/1 O2 Big Slope Counter: This is an indicator of O2 sensor response time. The
counter increments every time the O2 sensor responds quickly, above and below the
specific thresholds. Big slope is defined as a change in voltage over a change in time.
1/1 O2 Volts: This is live upstream O2 sensor voltage.

Purpose: This screen can be used to track previous O2 monitor results. In the
example shown above, the O2 sensor monitor can pass by more than one method. It
can pass based on big slopes or half-cycles. This screen can provide information
regarding which method the PCM used to pass the monitor.
1/1 O2 Half-Cycle Status: The value represented on this line is a data byte.
1/1 Half-Cycle Last Result: The term min, when seen on the DRBIII, indicates
the PCM is looking for a minimum value to be exceeded during the monitor. The
term max indicates the PCM is looking for a maximum value not to be exceeded
during the monitor. In this example, the PCM was looking for a minimum value to be
exceeded during the monitor.
1/1 Half-Cycle Failed Prev Test: The monitor result from the trip previous to the
last trip is recorded on this line.
1/1 Half-Cycle Failed This Test: The monitor result from the last trip is recorded on
this line.
Last 1/1 O2 Half-Cycle Counter: The number of half-cycles counted during the
previous trip is recorded on this line.
1/1 O2 Half-Cycle Counter Spec: The number of half-cycle counts that needed to
be exceeded to pass the monitor is specified here.
1/1 O2 Big Slope Status: The value represented on this line is a data byte.
1/1 Big Slope Last Result: The term min, when seen on an OBD DRBIII,
indicates the PCM is looking for a minimum value to be exceeded. The term max
indicates the PCM is looking for a maximum value not to be exceeded. In this
example, the PCM was looking for a minimum value to be exceeded during the trip.
1/1 Big Slope Failed This Test: The monitor result from the previous trip is
recorded on this line.

Fuel Sys Pre-Test


Bat Tmp Rang: 21 [66] 130
ENABLING CONDITIONS
MAP Range: 7.1 [0.0] 30.0

Purpose: Unlike other pre-test screens, the information on this screen is live data.
Use this screen to monitor vehicle conditions in order to enable the fuel system
rich/lean monitor.
Description: Once the vehicle is operating in closed loop (long-term closed loop =
long-term adaptive cells updating (highlighted above)) the PCM continuously
monitors the total fuel correction made to the base pulse-width. If at any time the
total fuel correction (short-term correction multiplied by long-term adaptive =
adaptive memory factor) exceeds the threshold, the PCM increments a 1-trip failure.
1/1 (2/1) Adaptives: 1/1 and 2/1 refer to left and right banks, if applicable.
Note:

Some JTEC vehicles have a pre-test screen similar to the pre-test


screen of other monitors; however this is only a partial list of enablers.

ACTIVITY 2A FUEL ADAPTIVES
This is an instructor lead activity and is designed to demonstrate the operation of the
fuel system. You will go though exercises for short-term and long-term adaptive
memory, and the setting of faults and Freeze Frames. Answer the following questions
as you complete the activity.
1.

At idle, what is the short-term adaptive value on the classroom vehicle?

2.

What immediate effect does the decrease in fuel pressure have on injector
pulse-width?

3.
4.

Open the throttle and watch the PCM change adaptive cells.
What effect does the decrease in fuel pressure have on air/fuel ratio?

5.

What happens to short-term adaptive when fuel pressure is decreased?

6.

What happens to the long-term adaptive as the short-term adaptive increases?

7.

When fuel pressure is decreased, what effect does the short-term adaptive have
on injector pulse-width?

8.

Create a misfire and observe the effects on the adaptive cells.

9.

Create a vacuum leak and observe the effects on the adaptive cells.

10.

Add propane to the engine and observe the effects on the adaptive cells.

11.

If EGR is accessible, slightly open the EGR valve and observe the effects on the
adaptive cells.

Note:

While holding the service brake, place the vehicle in gear and observe an in
gear idle cell. Did the duty cycle purge percentage go to zero and the idle cell
update?
If the idle cell did not update on the first try, place the vehicle in park
and then back into gear. Purge-free cells only update every other time
the vehicle is operated in that cell.

Purpose: This screen allows the user to check the status of the monitor and to watch
the monitor run. The fuel system lean monitor and the fuel system rich monitor are
identical in purpose.
Continuous Monitor: The fuel monitor is a continuous monitor. Very few enabling
conditions need to be met before a continuous monitor is able to run. Continuous
monitors never actually pass during a trip because the PCM is never Done/Stop
Testing (unless the monitor failed on the previous trip). While the monitor is
running the data byte is 80 (SBEC) or 00 (JTEC) and the other test data reads no.
This information changes if a failure is detected. The data byte indicates 00 for SBEC
and 80 for JTEC if a failure has been detected. After the vehicle is shut off, the Task
Manager records a pass in memory if the malfunction did not occur that trip.
Additionally, if a continuous monitor fails, it must be checked under the exact load
condition in which it failed (similar condition window). To re-test a previous failure,
MAP vacuum must be within 20% , RPM must be within 375 rpm, and the warm-up
state must be within the values recorded in Freeze Frame.
Note: SCW MAP value spec was +/- 10% on early OBD vehicles.
Fuel System Lean Monitor: The PCM is constantly monitoring the total fuel
correction being made to the pulse-width. Any time the adaptive memory factor
exceeds the programmed value, the PCM declares a 1-trip failure on the first
occurrence and sets a DTC on the next consecutive trip if the fault is still evident.
Fuel System Rich Monitor: The fuel system rich monitor is conducted the same way
as the lean monitor, except purge-free cells must be updated before the PCM can
conclude that the fuel system correction is excessive. The PCM updates the purgefree cells in order to eliminate a saturated canister as the cause of a rich failure. To
update the purge-free cells, the vehicle must be operated in each purge-free cell.

Purpose: With this screen the user can compare present operating conditions to the
operating conditions (MAP RPM and warm-up state) that occurred at the time of the
failure. The fuel monitor is a continuous monitor and must be re-tested in a similar
conditions window. To re-test the monitor drive the vehicle until the similar
conditions window value changes from no to yes. Once in the similar conditions
window, maintain a steady load until the PCM reports that it is done this trip.
Note:

Certain failures create a similar conditions window that cannot be


duplicated after the vehicle is repaired. For example, a lean condition
may decrease vacuum to a point that cannot be duplicated once the
vehicle is repaired. If this occurs the best way to verify the repair is to
clear the long-term adaptive cells, road test the vehicle under all load
conditions, and then check the long-term adaptive cells for excessive
fuel correction.

Fuel Lean 1 Same Warm-up: There are two warm-up states: above 160F or below
160F. The vehicle must be tested in the same warm-up state in which it failed.
Fuel Lean 1 Good Trip Counter: If the monitor passes it increments the good trip
counter. Three good trips self-extinguish the MIL. Forty warm-up cycles self-erase
the DTC and Freeze Frame. If there is a 1-trip failure, and the vehicle cannot be
operated in the similar conditions window, 80 warm-up cycles are required to erase
the failure and Freeze Frame.
Note:

All screens and procedures are the same for fuel system rich as for fuel
system lean.

Purpose: This screen allows the user to determine when the conditions have been
met to run the oxygen sensor monitor. This is a split screen. Pre-test enabling
conditions are located on the top half of the screen and the conditions required to
actually run the monitor are located on the bottom half of the screen.
How to Use This Screen: The main objective of this and other pre-test screens is to
make the arrows go away. When the arrows disappear, the conditions required to
run the monitor have been satisfied and the monitor should run.
Performing the Pre-Test: The vehicle can be driven, either on the road or on a lift, to
satisfy the conditions of a pre-test. The parameters of this pre-test include several
timers. The expiration of the timers indicates the vehicle, including the exhaust
components, is hot enough to ensure accurate test results. To meet these enabling
conditions, drive the vehicle until the arrows on the screen disappear. Once all pretest conditions have been satisfied, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving an
automatic transmission equipped vehicle in gear. You can now ignore the arrows on
the top half of the screen and begin satisfying the conditions on the bottom half of
the screen.
Note:

Refer to the enabling conditions listed below for possible additional


requirements.

Monitor: Once the above conditions have been satisfied and the vehicle is at a stop,
the monitor should run within 15-30 seconds.
Catalyst Temperature: Catalyst temperature is a calculated value based on load,
road speed, ambient temperature, short-term and long-term fuel correction, spark
advance, run time, coolant temp, etc.
Max Test Time: This is the maximum time allowed during the monitor
Adap Cell ID: The vehicle must be in the indicated adaptive cell before the monitor
runs.

ACTIVITY 3 OXYGEN SENSOR MONITOR
In this activity you will run the O2 monitor, view the DRBIII screens associated with
the monitor and answer the questions below.
1.

While viewing the DRBIII Pre-test screen, drive the vehicle on the lift and meet
all conditions to run the O2 sensor monitor. Make all the arrows on the top
half of the screen disappear, then make all the arrows on the bottom half of the
screen disappear by meeting the enabling conditions
Note:
The open throttle timer counts backwards any time the throttle is
closed. Always allow at least one minute more open throttle time
than the minimum amount required. This prevents falling under the
parameters of the enabling window.
Note:

If the O2 monitor does not run, gently power brake the vehicle and retest. Power braking may need to be done if the PCM starts conducting
a purge-free update instead of the O2 monitor. Remember, purge-free
cells are updated every other time the adaptive cell is entered.

2.
3.

Before turning off the vehicle, view the All OBD II Monitor Status screen.
Did the upstream O2 sensor monitor pass this trip?

4.
5.

View the 1/1 O2 Sensor Monitor screen.


Did the monitor pass?

6.

How do you know if the monitor passed or failed?

7.

How long did it take for the monitor to complete?

8.
9.

View the Last Result O2 Monitor Screen.


Was the PCM looking for a minimum value to be exceeded or maximum value
not to be exceeded during the monitor?

10.

If the monitor passed, did it pass based on half-cycle or big slope?

Description: The downstream O2 sensor monitor may run as a passive or intrusive


test. The passive test simply assesses O2 sensor response. If the voltage drifts below
and above predetermined thresholds, the monitor passes. The monitor can even pass
at idle. If the PCM does not see a predetermined amount of voltage change, an
intrusive test is run. During the intrusive phase of the test the vehicle must meet the
enabling conditions listed on the monitor screen.
If the downstream O2 sensor passes the passive test, disregard the values on this
screen. The values are accurate only when the PCM has run an intrusive test.
This monitor is disabled until the vehicle accumulates a predetermined amount of
mileage. Brand new or green catalysts are very efficient. The downstream O2
sensor voltage may not fluctuate enough to pass the monitor. When a catalyst is
replaced, the downstream O2 monitor must be reset. Reset the monitor on the MISC
screen of the DRBIII.
Enabling Conditions
The same conditions required to enable the catalyst monitor are needed to enable the
downstream oxygen sensor monitor. Refer to the catalyst monitor section for more
information.
Pending and Conflict
Any condition which illuminates the MIL disables the downstream O2 sensor
monitor.

Purpose: This screen informs the user when the conditions have been met to run the
oxygen sensor heater monitor. This is a split screen. Pre-test enabling conditions
are located on the top half of the screen and the conditions required to run the
monitor are located on the bottom half of the screen.
Note:

The pre-test screen applies to all O2 sensors on the vehicle.

Min Run Time: This is the minimum amount of time the engine needs to run in
order to satisfy the monitor requirement.
Exhaust Time: The timer counts up with open throttle, and counts back down with
closed throttle. Too much closed throttle time allows the oxygen sensors to cool
down.
Volts Range: This is the battery voltage range required to satisfy the heater monitor.
Cat Tmp Range: This is a calculated value. Satisfying this requirement ensures the
exhaust system has reached full load temperature.
ECT Bat Range: ECT and battery temperature must to be within a specific
percentage of one another.
Note:

SBEC vehicles run the O2 sensor heater monitor after a drive cycle
when the vehicle is shut off. JTEC vehicles run the O2 sensor heater
monitor during a cold start.

Purpose: The purpose of this screen is to inform the user when the conditions have
been met to run the catalyst monitor. This is a split screen. The pre-test enabling
conditions are located on the top half of the screen and the conditions required to
run the monitor are located on the bottom half of the screen.
Background: The catalyst monitor can use either an Exponentially Weighted Moving
Average (EWMA) strategy or a Non-EWMA strategy.
Non-EWMA Catalyst: To monitor catalyst efficiency, the PCM expands the rich
and lean switch points of the O2 sensor. With extended switch points, the
air/fuel mixture runs richer and leaner to overburden the catalytic converter.
Once the test is started, the air/fuel mixture is driven rich and lean and the O2
switches are counted. The number of downstream O2 sensor switches is divided
by the number of upstream O2 sensor switches to determine the switching ratio.
Switching Ratio =

Number of Downstream O2 Sensor Switches


Number of Upstream O2 Sensor Switches

EWMA Catalyst: The EWMA catalyst monitor differs from earlier catalyst
monitoring technology in that it requires six separate test sequences run before a
failure is recorded. The method in which the tests are run differ between SBEC
and JTEC vehicles. On SBEC vehicles, all six tests are conducted within the same
trip. On JTEC vehicles, if the PCM detects three failures it suspends testing until
the next trip. During the next trip, once enabling conditions are met, the PCM
resumes testing. If three additional failures are detected, the PCM stores a DTC
and illuminates the MIL. Another important difference between the EWMA
catalyst monitor and the early generation catalyst monitor is that the PCM is able
to compare the current upstream to downstream O2 sensor switching frequency

47

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


against stored data from past trips. This allows the PCM to determine if the
catalyst is naturally aging or if there has been a catastrophic failure, possibly due
to poisoning or misfire. Each time the PCM determines the instantaneous
switching frequency has exceeded the historical data, it increments the
suspicious counter. When the PCM has accumulated six suspicious counts, a
malfunction is declared.
How to Use This Screen: The main objective of this and other pre-test screens is to
make the arrows go away. Once the enabling conditions are met, the monitor
should run.
Performing the Pre-Test: The vehicle can be driven, either on the road or on a lift, to
satisfy the conditions of a pre-test. The parameters of this pre-test include several
timers. The expiration of the timers indicates that the vehicle, including the exhaust
components, is hot enough to ensure accurate test results. To meet these enabling
conditions, drive the vehicle until the arrows on the screen disappear. Once all pretest conditions have been satisfied, the conditions on the bottom half of the screen
need to be met to run the monitor.
RPM/SpdRatio: The PCM determines gear selection by comparing the RPM to the
VSS ratio. The vehicle must be driven in a high enough gear to ensure sufficient load
is placed on the vehicle to heat the exhaust for accurate testing.
VSS MPH Range: A specific vehicle speed for specific length of time must be
maintained.
Exhst Time: This is a calculated value. After the PCM has inferred that the exhaust
components have reached a specific temperature, a timer begins.
SBEC: If it is difficult to maintain the vehicle in the proper MAP/RPM range to meet
monitor requirements, turn on electrical accessories to load the engine. The
increased load typically satisfies the parameters and enables the monitor to run.
JTEC: Some vehicles do not run the monitor unless the vehicle speed exceeds 50
mph. Some vehicles may require the catalyst monitor to run on a specific emissions
certification drive cycle (i.e. FTP cycle, unified cycle, or idle). See the appendix for
drive cycle specific information.

Slow Moving Avg Bnk1: This is used to detect a naturally aging high mileage
catalyst. The slow moving average is determined by adding 90% of the old slow
moving average and 10% of the new instantaneous switching frequency.
Fast Moving Avg Bnk1: This is used to detect a major catalyst failure, such as a
severe misfire that has melted the catalyst substrate. The fast moving average is
determined by adding 75% of the old fast moving average and 25% of the new
instantaneous switching frequency.
Cat Mon 1 Suspicious Counter: A suspicious counter is incremented when the slow
moving average is 20% or more different than the instantaneous switching frequency.
On SBEC vehicles, if the suspicious counter increments six times, and the slow or
fast moving average is above a calibratable frequency, a DTC sets and the MIL
illuminates. On JTEC vehicles, the third suspicious count sets a 1-trip failure.
Counting resumes on the next trip. After three more suspicious counts, a DTC is
declared and the MIL is illuminated.
Up O2/Dn O2 (or 1/1, 1/2) Switch Freq Bnk1 (Instantaneous Switching
Frequency): This is the rate at which both the upstream and downstream O2
sensors cross the rich to lean switching points. The number of downstream O2
switches is divided by the number of upstream O2 switches to determine the
switching frequency ratio.
Note:

Oxygen sensor response is re-tested during the catalyst monitor to


verify that a lazy oxygen sensor is not corrupting the results of the
catalyst monitor.

Like the catalyst monitor, it may be difficult to maintain the vehicle in


the proper MAP/RPM range in order to meet the monitor requirements.
When operating on a lift, turn on the electrical accessories to load the
engine. The monitor is easily enabled while driven on the road.

Background: When the EGR is flowing, it displaces air in the combustion chamber
which lowers temperatures, thus reducing oxides of nitrogen. When the system is
tested, the PCM turns off the EGR solenoid which causes an increase of oxygen into
the combustion chamber. The PCM then compensates by adding fuel. The EGR
monitor looks for the increase of fuel to be above or below a certain level.

Purpose: This screen allows the user to determine if all the conditions required to
enable misfire detection have been met.
Background: The PCM uses the crankshaft fluctuation method of determining
whether a misfire condition or symptom is present. The crankshaft fluctuation
method refers to how long it takes to get from top dead center on one cylinder to top
dead center on the next cylinder, or the deviation in time from one cylinder to the
next. Before the PCM can detect a misfire, it needs to learn information about the
crankshaft, CKP sensor, wiring, triggering device, and then determine the amount of
RPM error. This learned value is known as the adaptive numerator. To enable the
adaptive numerator, the vehicle must be driven at a wide open throttle condition,
followed by a hard, fuel shut-off deceleration.
In the example above, the SBEC-equipped vehicle has learned the adaptive
numerator:

Adaptive Numerator Learned: Indicates Yes

Adaptive Numerator Cyl 2 & 5, 3 & 6: The value in right column is different
than the default value in the brackets on the left (i.e. 2625A000 changed to
26240703).

59

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


In the preceding example, the JTEC-equipped vehicle has not learned the adaptive
numerator:

Adaptive Numerator Learned: Indicates No

Adaptive Numerator Cyl 2 & 3, 4 & 7, 5 & 8: The value in right column is the
same as the default value in the brackets on the left (i.e. 1C9C3800 for cylinder
1 & 3, etc.).

Lo Adp Num/Hi Adp Num: JTEC-equipped vehicles learn both high and low
adaptive numerator values. If the learned adaptive numerator value is not
within the high and low specification, fault code adaptive numerator at limit
is set.

Note:

Anytime a repair to the vehicle can change the relationship of the


crankshaft sensor to the triggering device, (i.e., crankshaft sensor, flex
plate, crankshaft, engine, etc.) the adaptive numerator must be cleared
and then relearned. Perform a reset with the DRBIII and drive the
vehicle to relearn the adaptive numerator. This is especially important
after addressing the DTC adaptive numerator at limit fault.

Misfire EPP Disabled: The PCM counts down from a predetermined number of
engine position pulses on start up, to allow the engine to stabilize prior to
performing misfire detection.

Misfire Disabled: Any number other than zero indicates something is disabling
misfire detection.

200 Rev Counter: The 200 rev counter begins incrementing when the PCM is
performing misfire detection.

Purpose: This screen allows the user to monitor the vehicle for any misfires.
Note:

The first two lines indicate whether or not misfire detection is enabled.
See the previous screen for details.
Misfire is a continuous running monitor. It only stops running if a
failure is detected. To verify that a misfire has been repaired, the
monitor must be run in a similar conditions window.

Background: The PCM monitors for different types of misfire.

Catalyst Damaging Misfire: This value is based on the percentage of misfire


within three 200 revolution counts. When a misfire percentage exceeds a
predetermined value, a 1-trip failure is declared, unless the percentage of
misfire is above a predetermined threshold within the first 200 revolutions.
The MIL flashes while the misfire is severe enough to cause imminent catalyst
damage.

FTP or I/M Misfire: This value is based on the percentage of misfire within
four counts of 1000 revolutions. When the percentage of misfire exceeds a
predetermined value and causes an emissions increase, based on either FTP or
I/M (smog test no longer used), the PCM increments a 1-trip failure.

Misfire Counter Cat 200 Rev: This line indicates the PCM is counting misfires
within a 200 rpm block.

Misfire Counter Cat 600 Rev (Cat Damage): Misfires are counted in 200 rpm
blocks. The 600 revolution counter increments a count of one for each 200
revolution period where misfire percentage exceeds the threshold for a catalyst
damaging misfire.

Misfire Counter FTP 1000 Rev (FTP Emissions): Misfires are counted in 200
rpm blocks. The 1000 revolution counter increments a count of one for each
62

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


200 revolution period where misfire percentage exceeds the threshold for a FTP
or I/M failure.

Misfire Counter FTP 4000 Rev (FTP Emissions): Due to a change in the EPA
standards, all 98 and newer vehicles count FTP misfires based on a percentage
of misfire within 4000 revolutions. Each time the percentage of misfire based
on 1000 revolutions exceeds the threshold, the 1000 revolution counter
increments a count of one. When it counts to four, a 1-trip failure is recorded.

Average RPM Error Too Large: This is determined by comparing the high adaptive
numerator specification to the low adaptive numerator specification.

Similar Conditions Window: A similar conditions window is achieved when engine


RPM is within 375 rpm and MAP vacuum is within 20% of when the fault
occurred. The vehicle must also be in the same warm-up state, with engine
temperature either above 160F or engine temperature below 160F, whichever state
occurred during the malfunction.
Purpose: The similar conditions window allows the user to operate the vehicle to
achieve the same load and temperature state as when the vehicle failed the monitor.
Drive the vehicle until In Similar Window indicates yes. Once this condition is
achieved, maintain a steady load and keep the vehicle operating within this window
until the PCM reports done this trip or increments a good trip.
Note:

Certain failures create a similar conditions window that cannot be


duplicated after the vehicle is repaired. For example, a misfire
condition may drop vacuum to a point that is unrealistic and cannot be
duplicated after a repair has been made. When this occurs, the best
way to verify the repair is to use the live Which Cylinder is Misfiring
screen while operating the vehicle under all load conditions.

Misfire Same Warm-up State: There are two warm-up states, above 160F or below
160F. You must be in the same warm-up state as the failed trip to enter the similar
conditions window.

ACTIVITY 8B MISFIRE MONITOR
This is an instructor led activity. Engine-running and snap-throttle compression
tests are demonstrated.
Running Compression Test
Current regulations require manufacturers to monitor for catalyst-damaging and
emissions-increasing misfires. Since most manufacturers use the crankshaft
fluctuation method of determining misfires, the root cause of a misfire may not be
combustion or compression related. However, often times when there is an internal
engine malfunction, it frequently goes undetected until all other possibilities are
exhausted. This is an excellent opportunity to go back to basics and remind you of
an invaluable test that measures the volumetric efficiency of the effected cylinder.
This test is an accurate, if slightly esoteric and time consuming, test of cylinder
breathing. It is, in fact, recommended by Detroit Diesel instead of a normal
compression test, and is often taught by many instructors as part of their state
emission training programs.
Theory Behind This Test
When you perform a standard, cranking compression test, you are checking cylinder
sealing, not breathing (volumetric efficiency). This test looks at an individual
cylinders ability to breathe.
As an example, lets say the engine is running at 18 in. of vacuum. If barometric
pressure is about 30 in., the difference (30 18 = 12) represents what the engine is
inhaling. Twelve in. mercury is equal to about 6 psi absolute air pressure.
Compressed to about an 8:1 ratio, you should get 6 X 8 = 48 psi pressure if all the air
makes it into the cylinder and then gets exhaled. Therefore, your idle reading on
running compression is about 50 psi.
When you snap the throttle, the manifold vacuum drops, so the absolute air pressure
going into the cylinder increases.
How to Perform a Running Compression Test
1.

Start with a normal cranking compression test to eliminate rings, valves, holes
in pistons, etc. The engine should be warm.
2.
Put all spark plugs but one back in. Ground the plug wire, or leave the COP
assembly unplugged to prevent PCM damage. (This step may be skipped if the
Schraeder valve is removed from the compression gauge. Refer to the next
step). Disconnect the fuel injector on the cylinder to be tested.
3.
Install the compression tester.
Note:
It is often recommended to remove the Schraeder valve to prevent
damage to it. If you elect to leave the Schraeder valve in place, the
compression gauge should be burped every 5-6 puffs. The test may
burn-up the Schraeder valve. Have spare valves available.

68

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


4.
5.

Start the engine and take a reading. Record the value.


Now quickly move the throttle plate to the wide-open position and release. This
gives you a snap acceleration reading. Record the value.
Note:
Do not use the gas pedal for this. The idea is to open and close the
throttle as quickly as possible without getting an increase in engine
RPM. This forces the engine to take a big gulp of air.

Vehicles without LDP

Stage 1
Purge cells are compared against purge-free cells. If the value exceeds the
threshold, the monitor passes without advancing to stage 2. If the values do
not exceed the threshold, proceed to stage 2.

Stage 2
Update the purge-free cells.
The PCM opens the purge solenoid and looks for one of the following to occur: a
short-term shift above a predetermined percentage, OR the RPM increases
above a predetermined threshold, OR the IAC motor closes a specific number of
steps.

Purge S T Adap Spec: This is the minimum short-term correction required to pass
the monitor.
Vehicles Not Equipped with LDP: On vehicles not equipped with LDP, there are
three ways in which the purge monitor may pass. As the PCM ramps open the purge
solenoid, it is looking for a shift in short-term compensation. If the short-term value
does not change, it then looks for an increase in RPM. If there is no change in shortterm compensation or if the RPM does not increase, the PCM then looks for a shift in
IAC position towards the closed position. If any one of these items indicate a change,
the PCM concludes there is flow through the purge system and the monitor passes.

Purpose: The conditions listed on the DRBIII screen must be met before running
the LDP monitor.
Operation: In order to prevent false passes, the LDP monitor runs on a cold start.
Fuel vapors are generated as soon as the fuel in the tank begins to warm-up. The
increase in vapor pressure could cause the LDP monitor to register a false pass.
Note:

On ST22 vehicles and vehicles equipped with an NGC controller and


NVLD, the opposite is true. The warmer the fuel system gets, the more
likely it is to fail the evaporative leak detection test.

The PCM opens the purge solenoid and looks for a short-term shift above a
predetermined percentage.
Note:

If a vehicle fails the gross leak test but then passes on the next trip, it
is assumed the gas cap was left off and the MIL is extinguished after
completing one good trip.

PCM Natural Monitor: Prior to 2001 Software (SBEC and JTEC), the average pump
period for the (0.040 in.) test previously read 25.5 seconds (SBEC) and up to 55
seconds (JTEC) on perfectly sealed systems. The new quick pass test stops averaging
the pump periods as soon as it gets a pass. Therefore, you may see 6 to 11 seconds
(for SBEC) or 14 seconds (for JTEC) for the 0.040 in. leak last LDP average pump
period when the PCM runs the natural monitor. In the past, this indicated a leak
below the failure threshold. This is no longer true on 2001 and later software.
DRBIII Forced LDP Monitor: The DRBIII forced monitor does not use a quickpass threshold. Rather, the service test runs longer to allow decisions to be made on
how well the system is sealing. Based on this, you will notice a discrepancy between
the results stored from the forced monitor, versus what you see if the PCM runs the
natural monitor.
Note:
The results of the forced monitor are not 100% accurate unless
conducted while cold. As the vehicle warms up, the evaporative
pressure increases to the point where you may receive a false pass,
when in fact there is a leak. This is why the natural monitor can only
be run on a cold start.

79

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


Small, Medium and Gross Leak Diagnosis
Phase 1 Test: Leak Test
6.
Apply a constant source of vacuum to the LDP solenoid by applying vacuum to
the SVST valve (black tee with a green cap 96/97 models only) or to the
plastic line going down to the leak detection pump solenoid.
Note:
An A/C evacuation pump or a running engine is the preferred method
for a constant source of vacuum. A hand-held vacuum pump may leak
down if used for this test. If you chose to use the vehicles own engine
vacuum, be sure to disconnect the purge solenoid to avoid purging
while the monitor runs or the test may fail. Be aware that DTCs may
have to be cleared. Use caution as clearing DTCs also erases all stored
OBD II data.
7.

Using the DRBIII, go to Engine/System Tests, select Leak Detect Pump Test
and select option 3 (Hold PSI). This energizes the LDP solenoid and allows the
vacuum from the constant vacuum source to apply vacuum to the LDP pump
diaphragm. This lifts the diaphragm up and seals the atmospheric vent at the
bottom of the leak detection pump. The evaporative system is now ready to be
pressurized.
8.
Evaporative emissions leak detector (EELD) hookup:
Connect the red power lead to a 12V DC power supply.
Connect the black lead to a chassis ground.
Connect shop air to the 8404 Evaporative Emissions Leak Detector (EELD).
9.
Set the control knob to air.
10. Insert the testers air supply tip (clear hose) into the appropriate calibration
orifice on the testers control panel (based on the DTC).
11. Press the remote start button.
12. Position the red flag on the flow meter so it is aligned with the indicator ball.
When calibration is complete, release the remote button. This calibrates the
flow meter in liters per minute to the size leak (based on the DTC) you are
looking for.
13. Install the Service Port Adapter (Miller tool #8404-14) on the vehicles service
port, or to the service port on the Fuel Tank Adapter (Miller tool #6922 or Miller
tool #8382).
14. Connect the air supply hose from the EELD to the service port or fuel tank
adapter.
15. Press the remote button to activate airflow.
Note:
Larger volume fuel tanks, and/or those with lower fuel levels, may
require four or five minutes to completely fill the system with air.

17.

18.

If the fuel level is over 85% on vehicles with ORVR, it may be necessary to
perform this procedure from both the service valve and tank adapter, due to
closure of the ORVR flow control valve.
Compare the flow meter indicator ball reading to the red flag.
Above the red flag is an unacceptable leak (vehicle failed: go to Phase Two).
Below the red flag is acceptable (vehicle passed: Test Complete).
Did the EELD indicate that the system has a leak above the acceptable limit?
YES
NO

Phase 2 Test: Locate Leak


19. Remove the air supply hose from the service port of Fuel Tank Adapter
20. Connect the smoke supply tip (black hose) to the service port or fuel tank
adapter.
21. Set the control switch to smoke.
22. Press the remote start button.
If inputting the smoke through the service port adapter, verify smoke has
filled the evaporative system by removing the fuel cap until the smoke
begins to escape. Reinstall the cap.
If inputting smoke through the fuel tank adapter, verify smoke has filled
the evaporative system by depressing the Schraeder valve on the service
port adapter until smoke begins to escape from the adapter.
23. Once smoke is observed, close the EVAP system by either reinstalling the fuel
cap, or releasing the Schraeder valve.
Note:
For optimal performance, introduce smoke into the system for an
additional 60 seconds. Continue introducing smoke at 15-second
intervals as necessary.
24.

Using the white light, follow the evaporative system path and look for the
source of the leak (exiting smoke). Make sure to check that the normallyclosed purge solenoid is not leaking into the intake manifold.
25. If the leak is in a concealed area, stop the smoke and use the ultraviolet black
light, while wearing the supplied yellow glasses, to locate the residual
ultraviolet dye left behind by the escaping smoke. The leak deposits a residual
fluid that is either bright green or yellow in color when viewed with a UV light
source.
26. Repair the leak, and re-test the system by performing Phase 1 testing again to
verify your repair. Follow-up with an LDP Monitor Test and view the LDP
Monitor Last Results.
Switch or Mechanical Fault Diagnosis
Note:
The fault code Switch or Mechanical Fault indicates the PCM does
not see the reed valve switch in the LDP toggling as it cycles the LDP
solenoid on and off.

To verify proper switch operation, start the engine and, using the DRBIII, go
to Engine/System Tests and select Leak Detect Pump Test.
Select option 1 and immediately press the down arrow on the DRBIII. This
puts the LDP in the slow pumping or switch test mode. If the system is
working correctly, the leak detect pump switch toggles back and forth between
closed (down) and open (up).
Does the switch indicate that it is toggling?
YES
NO
If the switch is toggling, the condition does not presently exist that set the DTC.
If the switch does not toggle, check the following items:
Is there a good source of vacuum at the leak detection pump?
YES
NO
Is there any physical damage to the LDP?
YES
NO
Have there been any collision repairs performed to the vehicle?
YES
NO
If the DRBIII switch state indicates closed/down, unplug the LDP pump.
Does the status change to open/up?
YES
NO
If so, the wiring and the PCM logic are OK and the pump is suspect.
If the DRBIII switch state indicates closed/down, unplug the LDP
connector and inspect the connector terminals and LDP pins. Jumper the
connector from the 12-volt feed to the PCM sense circuit (consult wiring
diagrams). If the DRBIII now toggles to closed/down, the LDP pump is
suspect.
If there is no change in state: Are 12 volts getting to the pump? If not,
trace the circuit back. Once the voltage source has been eliminated: Is
there an open between the PCM sense circuit at the connector and the PCM
itself?
If conditions permit, rerun the LDP Monitor, then meet the enabling conditions
and run the Purge Flow monitor. Did the Purge Monitor pass or fail?

MODULE 11 NVLD
The Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) system is the next generation
evaporative leak detection system that will first be used on vehicles equipped with the
Next Generation Controller (NGC) starting in 2002 model year. This new system
replaces the leak detection pump as the method of evaporative system leak detection.
The current CARB requirement is to detect a leak equivalent to a 0.020 in. (0.5 mm)
hole. This system has the capability to detect holes of this size very dependably.
The basic leak detection theory employed with NVLD is the "Gas Law". This is to say
that the pressure in a sealed vessel changes if the temperature of the gas in the
vessel changes. The vessel only sees this effect if it is indeed sealed. Even small leaks
allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the ambient pressure.
A patent application covering this leak detection concept has been received from the
U.S. Patent Office.
In addition to the detection of very small leaks, this system has the capability of
detecting medium as well as large evaporative system leaks.
The NVLD Utilizes the Gas Law Principles
A vent valve seals the canister vent during engine off conditions. If the vapor system
has a leak of less than the failure threshold, the evaporative system is pulled into a
vacuum, either due to the cool down from operating temperature or day-to-night
temperature cycling. This effect is considered one of the primary contributors to leak
determination by this diagnostic procedure.
When the vacuum in the system exceeds about 1 in. H2O (0.25 KPA), a vacuum
switch closes. The switch closure sends a signal to the NGC. The NGC, via the
appropriate logic strategies described below, utilizes the switch signal, or lack
thereof, to make a determination of whether a leak is present.
The NVLD Device and How it Functions
The NVLD device is designed with a normally open vacuum switch, a normally closed
solenoid, and a seal, which is actuated by both the solenoid and a diaphragm. The
NVLD is located on the atmospheric vent side of the canister. The NVLD assembly
may be mounted on top of the canister outlet, or in-line between the canister and
atmospheric vent filter.
The normally open vacuum switch closes with about 1 in. H2O (0.25 KPA) vacuum in
the evaporative system. The diaphragm actuates the switch. This is above the
opening point of the fuel inlet check valve in the fill tube, allowing cap off leaks to be
detected. In order to detect cap off conditions, submerged fill systems must have
recirculation lines that do not have the in-line normally closed check valve that
protects the system from failed nozzle liquid ingestion.
The normally closed valve in the NVLD is intended to maintain the seal on the
evaporative system during the engine off condition. If vacuum in the evaporative
system exceeds 3 in. to 6 in. H2O (0.75 to 1.5 KPA), the valve is pulled off the seat,
83

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


opening the seal. This protects the system from excessive vacuum as well as allowing
sufficient purge flow in the event that the solenoid becomes inoperative.
The solenoid actuates the valve to unseal the canister vent while the engine is
running. It is also used to close the vent during the medium and large leak tests and
during the purge flow check. This solenoid requires an initial 1.5 amps of current to
pull the valve open, but after 100 ms. is duty cycled down to an average of about 150
mA for the remainder of the drive cycle.
Another feature in the device is a diaphragm that opens the seal in the NVLD with
pressure in the evaporative system. The device vents the evaporative system at about
0.5 in. H2O (0.12 KPA) pressure to permit the venting of vapors during refueling. An
added benefit to this is that it also allows the tank to "breathe" during increasing
temperatures, thus limiting the pressure in the tank to this low level. This is
beneficial because the induced vacuum during a subsequent declining temperature
achieves the switch closed (pass threshold) sooner than if the tank had to decay from
a built-up pressure.
The device itself has three wires: switch sense, solenoid driver and ground. It also
includes a resistor to protect the switch from a short to battery or a short to ground.
The NGC utilizes a high-side driver to energize and duty-cycle the solenoid.
The NGC's Role in NVLD Diagnosis:
The integral part of the diagnostic system that makes engine-off leak detection
possible is a special circuit in the NGC controller. After the vehicle is turned off, a
small section of the controller stays alive and monitors for an NVLD switch closure.
This circuit within the NGC is very specific in its function and consumes very little
power. If a switch closure is detected, it logs the event and time from key-off, and
then power down. This information is processed at the next key cycle.
NVLD LEAK DETECTION
Small Leak Test (Passive)
If, after a specified delay after key off (perhaps 5 minutes), the switch closes or is
closed, the test passes, indicating there is no leak. The NGC records the switch
closure. The NVLD circuit in the NGC shuts down for the remainder of that
particular engine off (soak) period. When the engine is started, the switch closure is
recorded as a Pass, and the timers that are recording accumulated time are reset.
This diagnostic test can take at least a week to mature a leak fault. A week has been
chosen for this because the vehicle is exposed to the largest possible drive scenarios
before a decision is made (most vehicles should see both daily work and weekend
driving cycles). This also satisfies CARB's stated goal of getting three MIL
illuminations within a month for 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) leak detection diagnostics.
The diagnostics log engine run time and engine off time to determine when a week
has elapsed. There is a limit on the total amount of run time applied to the one-week
timer. There is also a limit on the total soak time allowed to be applied to the one-

84

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


week timer. There is a limit on the amount of accrued run time during one specific
drive that can be applied to the one-week timer.
The enabling criteria to run this monitor are:

Fuel level less than 85%

Ambient temperature greater than 40 F (4.4 C)

Rationality Tests
1.

The rationality check of the switch, solenoid and seal is performed as follows:
At key-on, the NVLD solenoid is energized to vent any vacuum that may be
trapped in the evaporative system from the previous soak. This should
result in an open switch condition.
The solenoid is de-energized (to seal the system) at the point where purge
begins. The system/NVLD component rationality passes for that drive
cycle if the switch closes after purge begins.
The solenoid is then re-energized for the remainder of the drive cycle.
If the switch events are not seen in a certain period of time, the rationality
check has failed (2-trip rule).
2.
Purge Flow:
The above rationality check is considered sufficient to confirm purge
solenoid function and conformance with the purge flow test requirement.
The Purge Flow Monitor is passed based on switch activity when purge is
turned on or based on a rich fuel control shift when purge is turned on.
Medium and Large Leak Test (Intrusive)
Note:

This intrusive test is only run if the Small Leak (passive) test fails, or is
inconclusive (the switch does not close).

Enabling Conditions:

40 F to 90 F

Engine temperature at startup within 10 F of the ambient temperature

Fuel level less than 85%

The intrusive Medium and Large leak tests are conducted as follows:

De-energize the NVLD solenoid to seal the canister vent.

Activate purge shortly after closed loop. Pull the tank vacuum past the
vacuum switch point (1 in. H2O vacuum) of the NVLD for a specific time while
tracking the standard purge flow rate.

Turn purge off and determine how long it takes to decay the tank vacuum and
reopen the switch. Determine the leak size from the time it took to reopen the
switch.

85

On-Board Diagnostics: OBD II / EOBD


Note:

Fuel level is an important determining factor.


If the switch does not close, a more aggressive purge flow is applied to
determine if it is a very large leak, missing fuel cap, problem with the NVLD
device, purge flow problem, etc.

MODULE/ACTIVITY 12 GENERIC SCAN TOOL
The following information is an excerpt from the publication Generic Scan Tool
Quick Reference (81-170-00008), written and published by DaimlerChryslers
Dealer Technical Operations (DTO).
Introduction
Using the DRBIII (version 52.00 and higher) and the CH8361 SuperCard2 PCMCIA
card (version 7.0 or higher) provides access to the Generic Scan Tool. This provides
information based on the legislative SAE J1979 Diagnostic Test Modes. These test
modes are necessary to satisfy California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations for
On-Board Diagnostics - Generation II (OBD II), and Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) requirements for Federal On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) of emission-related
components and systems. The information contained in this document was compiled
and formatted by DTOs Electronic Validation DRB group to provide a baseline of our
Generic Scan Tool support.
Note:

This information was legislated and more information is usually


supplied by using the usual DRBIII Standalone code.

Background
The Chrysler Groups Generic Scan Tool support was released in 1997 and until
DRBIII Release 50.00 (June, 2000) resided as code within each release of
Standalone DRBIII support. Since release 50.00, Generic Scan Tool support
software has migrated to SuperCard2, (PCMCIA) card P/N CH8361. This software
has been updated to include changes since 1996. This provides additional modes
and thus adds our first new support since its original release.
Using the Generic Scan Tool
The SuperCard2 Generic Scan Tool software is best used for:
Verifying a No-response PCM condition using the DRBIII

Providing a second opinion about DRBIII monitors seen for a given PCM

Reviewing an OBD II failure condition from a state testing facility


Be careful in the use of the tool. Due to the complex nature of OBD II electronics,
this data could be construed in a variety of different ways. The DaimlerChrysler
Academy provides training classes to understand and interpret OBD II information.
Disclaimer
Due to the nature of regulations, items will change from the description included in
this document. There are no planned updates for this document (81-170-00008)
except when major changes to the code are scheduled.
