What protocol does OBD use?

An OBD2 compliant vehicle can use any of the five communication protocols: SAE J1850 PWM, SAE J1850 VPW, ISO9141-2, ISO14230-4 (KWP2000), and since 2003 also ISO 15765-4/SAE J2480. ELM-USB and OBDTester support all of them.

What is the OBD2 protocol and how does it work?

The OBD2 protocol is the successor to the OBD – OBD1 (On Board Diagnostic) and has updates and improvements to the vehicle’s diagnostic system. It serves to detect chemical, mechanical and electrical faults that affect the emission of polluting gases from the vehicle to the environment and to identify any other damage that the car presents.

What is OBD II standard?

Introduction to the OBD II Standard. On-board diagnostics (OBD) is a computer-based self-diagnostic, monitoring, and reporting system built into automobiles to monitor the performance of the various engine components and emission system components.

Where is OBD II diagnostic port?
