One of the most exciting improvements in the automotive industry was the addition of the OBD (On Board Diagnostics). It is the computer that activates the vehicle's "CHECK ENGINE" light.

OBD1 (OBD I) was designed to monitor manufacture-specific systems on cars from 1981 to 1995. Then came the development of OBD2 (OBD II), which is on all 1996 and newer cars sold in the U.S. Like it's predecessor, OBD2 (OBD II) was adopted as part of a government mandate to lower vehicle emissions. What makes OBD2 (OBD II) more unique is it's universal application for all late model cars and trucks both domestic and import. This sophisticated program in the vehicle's main computer system is designed to detect failures in a range of systems, and can be accessed through a universal OBD2 (OBD II) port, which is usually found under the dash. For all OBD systems, if a problem is found, the computer turns on the "CHECK ENGINE" light to warn the driver that there is something wrong and sets a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) to identify where the problem occurred. A special diagnostic tool, such as the Actron PocketScan is required to retrieve these codes. It is a perfect unit for a starting point for repairs.
