Automotive Diagnostic Systems

Automotive Diagnostic Systems by Keith McCord

Keith McCord recounts the history of automotive onboard diagnostic systems and creation of the rudimentary OBD I systems and the development as well as the evolution of OBD II. Currently, OBD-II (OnBoard Diagnostic II) is the standard of the industry, and this book provides a thorough explanation of this system. It details its main features, capabilities, and characteristics. It shows how to access the port connector on the car, the serial data protocols, and what the serial data means. To understand the diagnostic codes, the numbering system is defined and the table of common DTCs is shown. But most importantly, McCord provides a thorough process for trouble shooting problems, tracing a problem to its root, explaining why DTCs may not lead to the source of the underlying problem, and ultimately resolving the problem. Integracar aims to give you a sizeable variety of repair guides. Conversely maintenance manuals can possibly be put together for varying nations and the cars manufactured for those nations. Therefore not all repair manuals may be best suited for your specific vehicle.
