What can be connected to the car OBD port?
1 Answers
OBD ports should not be connected to random devices. Since OBD is a diagnostic system extended for vehicle fault detection, external products may affect the vehicle itself through the OBD port due to their own malfunctions or issues. Here is more information about the OBD system: 1. Definition: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to "on-board self-diagnosis system" in Chinese. The system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. 2. How it works: OBD connects various emission-related component information to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU has the capability to detect and analyze emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, and alerts the driver via a warning light. The ECU ensures access and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.
