obdprog -- Updates to On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Website

Posted: 28 Oct 2015 14:14:09
Several changes to the OBD website have been made. The changes
include the following:
1.  The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has updated the form
numbers of several electronic templates that manufacturers are
required to submit to ARB when certifying their OBD II and
heavy-duty OBD systems.  Manufacturers are required to use these
updated templates for future submissions to ARB as soon as
possible.  
2.  ARB staff has added the following presentations to the OBD
website: The Board Hearing presentation from the recent ARB OBD
II rulemaking update (Board Hearing date: September 24-25, 2015,
and ARB presentations from the September 15-17, 2015 SAE OBD
Symposium (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA).  
3.  ARB staff has revised the OBD II Facts Sheet to update and
correct the information.  
4.  ARB staff has added a link to ARB’s ongoing regulation work
related to “innovative technologies” on the front page.

These documents and information can be found at the following
website:

Background:
OBD systems are self-diagnostic systems incorporated into the
computers of new vehicles.  The OBD system monitors virtually
every component that can affect the emission performance of the
vehicle to ensure that the vehicle remains as clean as possible
over its entire life, and assists repair technicians in
diagnosing and fixing problems with the computerized engine
controls.  Nearly all 1996 and newer model year light-duty and
medium-duty vehicles less than 14,000 lbs. are equipped with OBD
systems, while heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs. have phased
in OBD systems starting with the 2010 model year.  For further
information about the OBD program, please visit the OBD website
