2. In an OBD II system, monitors set a and the ECM or PCM illuminates the. DLC, MIL DTC, MIL DTC, M&M
3. Diagnosis should begin with a thorough inspection to eliminate simple things. Under Body Under Roof Under Hood
4. Even though a DTC is retrieved, there is more than possible cause for most problems. One Ten Fifty
Conditions to set DTC s Some diagnostic tests (monitors) run continuously Some diagnostic tests (monitors) run Once per trip Enable criteria met Diagnostic test is run IF results of the test are outside PCM parameters Type A DTCs turn on light after 1 failure Type B DTCs require 2 consecutive trips w/failure
Only A & B codes will illuminate the MIL

5. If OBD II monitors (self tests) have not been run, a may be present but a DTC not set. Monitor Systems Once per Trip Flags Catalytic Converter O2 Sensor O2 Heater EGR AIR EVAP Continuously Monitored No Flags Comprehensive Component Monitor Misfire (counter & cylinder ID) Fuel Trim (STFT & LTFT) Fault Issue Code
6. data associated with a DTC should be retrieved and studied. Freeze Frame Frozen Frame Movie Shot
7. freeze frame (MFF) is not part of regular DTC freeze frame data. MISFIRE MONITORING CONTINUOUS Mineral Misfire Misdiagnosis
8. Mode data shows out of range values that did not trigger a DTC very useful in diagnostics! $01 $02 $06
9. Driveability problems without DTCs require a tech to do based diagnostics. Strategy Symptom Complaint
10. Basic DMM and checks can verify sensor as well as actuator activity. Fuel Pressure Fault Code Lab Scope
11. All sensors perform the same basic functions of detecting conditions, states or conditions & change that into electrical signals the PCM understands. Mechanical, Thermal, Hydraulic Mechanical, Chemical, Pneumatic Mechanical, Chemical
12. On a lab scope, the vertical axis is the scale, the horizontal axis is base or sweep, and the trigger is the signal that tells the scope to start drawing the pattern on the screen. Voltage, Ohms Voltage, Time Voltage, Frequency
13. A waveform can be referred to in order to find out what a normal trace looks like. Library Dictionary Thesaurus
14. Good and clean are key to properly functioning circuits. Connections, Grounds Connections, Voltages Connections, Sources
15. A test is a quick way of testing the condition/integrity of any wire. Ohms Law Voltage Available Voltage Drop
16. EMI is electromagnetic in a signal due to a poor ground or a positive side issue. Noise Interference Static
17. Voltage spikes in solenoid circuits are captured by diodes. Clamping Stamping Zener
18. The job of is to do on off digital signaling. Sensors Actuators Switches
19. sensors are NTC thermistors, (ECT, IAT, CHT, TFT) & can be DMM checked. Pressure Temperature Position
20. sensors are piezo resistive and can be best checked with a lab scope. Pressure Temperature Position
21. A pressure sensor is similar in operation to a MAP, it measures EVAP system pressure. Vapor Fuel Water
22. feedback pressure sensors (DPFE) and fuel rail pressure sensors are also piezo resistive. CAT EGR PCV
23. The (MAF) measures the flow of air entering the engine. The MAF is typically a hot wire wheatsone bridge. A very touchy sensor a piece of dust can make it act up. Mass Air Flow Mass Air Management Mass Air Temperature
24. If you lightly on a MAF with the handle of a screwdriver and it starts to act up, replace it. Slam Hammer Tap
25. Typical MAF readings at idle are to grams per second of airflow. 1 to 2 4 to 7 10 to 12
26. The sensor (HO 2 S) is the key sensor in closed loop mode. Exhaust Gas Oxygen Exhaust Vapor Pressure Exhaust Gas Omission
27. HO 2 S are used for A/F control. Upstream Midstream Downstream
28. HO 2 S are used as a catalyst efficiency monitor. Upstream Midstream Downstream
29. Oxygen sensors can be narrow range (ZrO2) or wide range (TiO2). Zirconium, Titanium Zippo, Titania Zirconium, Tilapia
30. Zirconium Dioxide & Titanium Dioxide sensor produce voltage the same way. True or False
31. A ZrO 2 HO 2 S can fail be being biased either or, may not work at all, or may be slow. Rich, Lean Rich, Loose Pitch, Lean
32. The upstream HO 2 S should have cross counts over & under the.450 volts every 5 seconds. 3 7 10
33. The position sensor is a 5 volt reference potentiometer. Throttle Manifold Tumble
34. Electronic throttle control will have 2 and 2 accelerator position sensors. MAF MAP TPS
35. Watch a TPS with a for an even sweep without dropoffs (breaks) or spikes. Multi meter Lab Scope Noid Light
36. speed sensors are magnetic generators. (aka: variable reluctance sensors) Vehicle, Pulse Transmission, Pulse Crankshaft, Telsa
37. effect sensors can be used a crankshaft position (CKP) & camshaft position sensors(cmp). Stall Hall Crawl
38. Using a trace lab scope, CKP and CMP can be checked for their synchronization. Dual Triple Quad
39. A sensor (KS) is a piezo generator that generates a voltage when vibration is applied. Kinikinic Knock Knack
40. Generally speaking, are electromechanical devices that convert an electrical current into a mechanical action. Actuators are typically solenoids, motors, or lights. Outputs controlled by the PCM include devices such as: Solenoids Relays Motors Lights Diagnostics (DTCs) These components control the operation of systems such as: A/C Compressor Clutch / AIR / Cooling Fan /Cruise Control / Diagnostics (DTCs) / MIL / Engine Torque Mgmt / EVAP / Fuel Pump / EGR / Fuel Injector(s) / Idle Air Control (IAC) / Ignition Control (IC) / Intake Manifold Tuning / Shift Light / Throttle Control / Transmission Converter Clutch (TCC) / Transmission Pressure Control / and Transmission Shift Actuators Sensors Inputs
41. Actuators can be tested with lab scopes for their width, signal, and voltage waveforms (signatures). Performance, Frequency Sweep, Amplitude Pulse, Frequency
42. Following repairs, a system should be checked to operation. A test drive should be done to take the vehicle through a drive cycle that will complete the OBD II diagnostic monitors. Quantify Verify Mummify
