The OBD interface of the Mondeo Zhisheng is located under the driver's seat. You can find it by pulling open a small storage compartment, where you'll see a diagnostic plug inside. OBD is a detection system extended for automotive fault diagnosis, which 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. Function of the OBD System: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostic in English, translated as "On-board Diagnostic System" in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. If it detects any condition that might cause emissions to exceed standards, it will promptly issue a warning. When a fault occurs in the system, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate. Simultaneously, the OBD system stores the fault information in memory. Standard diagnostic tools and interfaces can read this information in the form of fault codes. Based on the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. How OBD Works: The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensors, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc. OBD connects various emission-related component information to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which has the capability to detect and analyze faults related to emissions. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, then issues a warning via the fault lamp to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.
