OBD-II / EOBD / OBD Direct

The OBD-II/EOBD icon is located on the Home screen. This function allows you to access “generic” OBD-II/EOBD data.

 

Generic OBD-II/EOBD data is limited to emission related diagnostics such as:

●

Checking for emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

●

Checking the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)

●

Checking monitor status prior to emissions certification testing

●

Accessing the 10 OBD-II Service Modes

●

Checking Readiness Monitor status

The OBD-II/EOBD function can be useful in a situation where the vehicle is not recognized or is an OBD-II compliant vehicle that is not supported by the enhanced scanner software, as you can still access “generic” OBD-II/EOBD codes and data.

To access other available electronic control module (ECM) data for vehicle specific systems, parameters or enhanced diagnostics use the Scanner function.

The OBD-II/EOBD function can also be used to access “generic” OBD-II/EOBD data for OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles that are not included in the Scanner function databases. To access enhanced OBD-II/EOBD data, select Scanner from the Home screen.

To switch from OBD-II to Scanner or from Scanner to OBD-II, exit the vehicle communication first before changing.
