What does OBD on a car mean?
1 Answers
The meaning of OBD on a car is: 1. To display various vehicle data that cannot be shown on the dashboard through the car's OBD diagnostic system. Many pieces of information that the original dashboard cannot display can be read via OBD, and with a display unit, various vehicle data such as fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, interior temperature, water temperature, and battery voltage can be displayed. 2. Many features not originally included or disabled in the vehicle can be enabled through the OBD module, such as unlocking hidden functions. There are specialized cables and software available for this purpose. OBD stands for 'On-Board Diagnostic' system. This system is primarily used to monitor the engine's operating status and the working condition of the exhaust treatment system in real-time. 3. If the system detects abnormal data, it indicates that the system is not functioning properly. The OBD will store the fault code and illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp. Repair personnel can then read the fault code using diagnostic tools to analyze the cause of the malfunction.
