EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is one of the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) systems related to emission. The EGR system is a pivotal element in reducing harmful emissions, making the engine run better, and improving fuel efficiency. Let’s learn further about the EGR system and how it actually works in more depth. Purpose of EGR System The main goal of the EGR system is to cut down on the amount of Nitrogen oxides(NOx) that comes out of the engine. NOx is a dangerous pollutant that makes smog and makes it hard to breathe. By sending some of … Read more

OBD-II Fuel Trim

OBD-II Fuel Trim

Fuel Trim is a pivotal part of the OBD-II system. OBD-II scan tool helps check and adjust the amount of air and fuel in the engine to make sure that it burns properly. The fuel trim system makes up for changes in how the engine is running and looks for problems with the fuel system and/or engine sensors. In this article, we’ll talk about what Fuel Trim is for, its parts, the different types, how to interpret data, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and how important it is to keep it well-maintained. Purpose of Fuel Trim … Read more

OBD-II Mode 6 System

The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II) system in modern cars is a complicated system that gives real-time information about how different parts of the car are working. Mode 6 is one of the things that the OBD-II system can do. Mode 6 gives detailed information about how certain parts of the system work. Let’s explore further the importance of Mode 6 in the OBD-II system and how it works. Purpose of Mode 6 Mode 6 is a diagnostic mode that gives detailed information about how certain parts of the system are working. Mode 6 is meant to … Read more

OBD-II PIDs

OBD-II PIDs

The OBD-II PIDs have the main function to keep track of and reporting on different vehicle and engine parameters. This includes things like the engine speed, the fuel trim, and the term perature of the coolant. and so forth  The collected data could be utilized to figure out what’s wrong with an engine or vehicle, like if a sensor isn’t working or the engine isn’t firing right. Also, the real-time data that OBD-II PIDs give can help drivers keep an eye on their car’s performance and gas mileage. Types of OBD-II PIDs   There are … Read more

Catalyst Monitor

weeklytools.com

The Catalyst Monitor is a key part of the On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) system. This component would ensure that vehicles meet national and/or regional emissions standards. Its job is to check and monitor how well your catalytic converter is working and make sure the emission control system is working right. We’d discuss the Catalyst Monitor’s purpose, its parts, how it works, diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs), and how important it is to keep this system well-maintained below.  Purpose of Catalyst Monitor  The main job of the Catalyst Monitor is to check how well the catalytic converter, the … Read more

OBD2 Readiness Monitors

OBD2 Readiness Monitors

An OBD2 Readiness monitor is a self-diagnostic emission monitoring system in a vehicle having a standard OBD2 system (SAE J1979). The Readiness monitor checks whether the emissions control systems (EGR, EVAP, etc) are working correctly. Most modern cars have the Readiness monitor look over up to 11 emission tests to make sure the car’s harmful emission levels are kept low. (as seen in the image below) Most Countries (i.e The United States, Australia, etc) require an annual or biannual vehicle emission inspection for the car to be legally driven on the roads, hence, it is … Read more
