Information that can save you hours of frustration and chasing dead ends!

* OBD II generic fault codes (look up codes by number or type of fault)

* OBD II emissions testing (what is requiried, tips on how to pass a plug-in test)

PLEASE NOTE: The OBD II Guide covers the BASICS of the onboard diagnostic system. It provides general diagnostic tips, but does NOT cover detailed diagnostics of specific fault codes. If that is what you are looking for, you should order the SCANTOOL COMPANION program, which is a more advanced version of the OBD II Guide that has more in-depth information about fault code and symptom diagnostics.
