OBD-II PIDs (On-board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool.. SAE standard J1979 defines many OBD-II PIDs. All on-road vehicles and trucks sold in North America are required to support a subset of these codes, primarily for state mandated emissions inspections.
Clears diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) from ECU memory. DTC grouping is used to loosely identify fault locations in undocumented ECU's. 0x14 00 00 00 to FF FF FF clears specific powertrain DTC's; 0x14 40 00 00 to 7F FF FF clears specific chassis DTC's; 0x14 80 00 00 to BF FF FF clears specific body DTC's
OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes [51] [52] are five characters long, with the first letter indicating a category, and the remaining four being a hexadecimal number. [ 53 ] The first character, representing category can only be one of the following four letters, given here with their associated meanings.
The development of an ECU involves both hardware and software required to perform the functions expected from that particular module. Automotive ECU's are being developed following the V-model. [ 1 ] Recently the trend is to dedicate a significant amount of time and effort to develop safe modules by following standards like ISO 26262 . [ 5 ]
It is generally a combined controller consisting of the engine control unit (ECU) and the transmission control unit (TCU). On some cars, such as many Chryslers, there are multiple computers: the PCM, the TCU, and the Body Control Module (BCM), for a total of three separate computers. These automotive computers are generally very reliable.
Mid 1980s JECS LH-Jetronic ECU. 40 pin IC bottom left is Hitachi Motorola 6800 clone, 28 pin IC (socketed) immediately right is 16kB ROM containing maps. JECS logo bottom left. Bosch first produced the Jetronic EFI system in 1967. K-Jetronic & L-Jetronic followed from around 1973 [6] which is when Nissan became involved.
The typical modern TCU uses signals from engine sensors, automatic transmission sensors and from other electronic controllers to determine when and how to shift. [2] More modern designs share inputs or obtain information from an input to the ECU, whereas older designs often have their own dedicated inputs and sensors on the engine components.
VIN on a Chinese moped VIN on a 1996 Porsche 993 GT2 VIN visible in the windshield VIN recorded on a Chinese vehicle licence. A vehicle identification number (VIN; also called a chassis number or frame number) is a unique code, including a serial number, used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, as defined by the ...
