• OBDII HOWTO
  If your vehicle was manufactured after 1996, it contains an On Board Diagnostic (OBD) computer that captures information about how it's running. OBD II is version 2.0 of the standard for communicating this information.

  The data tracked by the OBD II system was originally intended to monitor the engine's emissions and track down problems that caused cars to pollute more than normal. Today, however, manufacturers have extended the standard to contain a great deal of data about problems and performance. OBD II data is what causes your car's "check engine" light to go on when there is a problem, and it is your mechanic's tool of first recourse when you bring the car in with symptoms that have no obvious cause.
