LAUNCH OBD BOOK OBDII Auto Scanner12FunctionsOBD BOOK can be used to diagnose all the vehicles with an OBD-II diagnostic socket,to analyze troubles, and to find out the cause and location of troubles quickly andaccurately.It supports four types of OBD-II protocols (SAE J1850 PWM, SAE J1850 VPW, ISO9141-2 and KWP2000).OBD II is the abbreviated form of On Board Diagnostics II. It is a set of standards forautomobile communication protocol initiated by American Automobile EngineeringAssociation (SAE) and authenticated by the Environment Protection Association (EPA)and California Resource Association (GARB). The American Government requires thatafter 1998, all EFI cars sold to the United States must be equipped with such aself-diagnosing system.The development of OBD II has put an end to the inconvenience for car servicecaused by different DLCs, different fault codes and different diagnostic functionsadopted by various automobile manufacturers. It provides the manufacturers of EFIcars with a unified test method, unified diagnostic mode, unified shape of DLCs andunified installing position. Therefore, with only one tester, the diagnosis can beperformed on various models with an OBD II interface. OBD standard requires unified16PIN DLC (data link connector) on a car.PreparationsConnection1. Find the diagnostic socket on the car. (The OBDII diagnostic socket is generallylocated under the dashboard on the driver side)2. Connect the 16PIN built-in male connector to diagnostic socket on the car.
