ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
Operation
The Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD) carries
out a continuous diagnosis of the components
of the vehicle related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver of when these compo-
nents are no longer in peak condition by
switching on the warning light on the instru-
ment panel
Ú
page 73.
The aim of the OBD system (Onboard Diag-
nostic) is to:
Monitor the efficiency of the system
Indicate an increase in emissions
Indicate the need to replace damaged
components
The vehicle also has a connector, which can
interface with appropriate tools, that makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series
of specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis. This check can be carried out
by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
After eliminating a fault, to check the system
completely, an authorized dealer is obliged to
run tests and, if necessary certain road tests.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a
connection port to allow access to information
related to the performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians may
need to access this information to assist with
the diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected to
the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
• Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems,
could be impaired or a loss of vehicle
control could occur that may result in
an accident involving serious injury or
death.
• Access, or allow others to access,
information stored in your vehicle
systems, including personal informa-
tion.
