What does the OBD display mean in Auman trucks?
2 Answers
Auman trucks displaying OBD refers to the On-Board Diagnostics system. This system can monitor the working conditions of the engine electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real-time during operation. If any abnormalities are detected, it will determine specific faults according to specific algorithms and store them in the system's memory in the form of diagnostic trouble codes. Auman is China's first European-standard high-quality heavy truck fully developed by Foton Daimler Automotive using Daimler's quality management system across the entire value chain. The product features low fuel consumption, high comfort, high safety, and high reliability, and has been certified by Germany's TUV Rheinland.
The OBD light on the Auman truck indicates that the onboard diagnostic system has detected an error code, meaning there's a fault identified by the vehicle's computer. When I drove such trucks before, I'd get worried as soon as the light came on, because it usually signals an issue with the engine or emission system. It's best to head straight to a repair shop for a check-up. A scanner can quickly read the code to pinpoint the problem, which might be a minor sensor fault or a clogged catalytic converter. Once fixed, the light goes off, the truck runs smoother, and you might even save some fuel. Regular maintenance should include cleaning related components to prevent the light from frequently coming on and affecting your driving mood.
