  2. OBD-II PIDs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs

    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.

  3. On-board diagnostics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

    It enables the external test equipment to obtain "pending" diagnostic trouble codes detected during current or last completed driving cycle for emission-related components/systems. This is used by service technicians after a vehicle repair, and after clearing diagnostic information to see test results after a single driving cycle to determine ...

  4. Low-speed pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-Speed_Pre-Ignition

    General Motors’ next-generation dexos1 specification (Dexos 1 Gen 2), [7] released in 2015, included an engine test based on a GM 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ecotec that will test for LSPI. [8] The ILSAC GF-6 standard (released in 2020) also include a test for oil-related LSPI events in gasoline direct-injection engines based on a Ford 2.0 L four ...

  5. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    If the characteristic pressure peak of a knocking combustion is detected the ignition timing is retarded by steps of a few degrees. If the signal normalizes indicating a controlled combustion the ignition timing is advanced again in the same fashion keeping the engine at its best possible operating point - the so-called ″knock limit″.

  6. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  7. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    In the case of highly supercharged or high compression multi-cylinder engines, pre-ignition can quickly melt or burn pistons since the power generated by other still functioning pistons will force the overheated ones along no matter how early the mix pre-ignites. Many engines have suffered such failure where improper fuel delivery is present.

  8. Check engine light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light

    When the computer detected a fault, it illuminated the MIL. Up until OBDII, on most cars the MIL could output codes. When two pins on the ALDL are jumped, the light would flash the codes, for instance (blink) (pause) (blink) (blink) for code 12. Some manufacturers, such as Honda, retained this feature even after OBDII.

  9. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order.. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders.. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated.
