What is the fault when the OBD light appears on the dashboard?

The OBD light appearing on the dashboard is the engine exhaust system fault indicator. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects a situation that may cause excessive emissions, it immediately issues a warning. How OBD works: 1. The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc.; 2. OBD connects to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) through various emission-related component information. The ECU has the function of detecting and analyzing emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, and issues a warning through the fault light to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.
