INTRODUCTION
✓Today, On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) is one of the dominating elements of
engine and vehicle control systems.
✓ For complex applications, the OBD system can require more than 40%
of the resources of the engine control system.
OBD-Emergency operation:
When the system detects an error, It reverts to operation on substitute default
data [for engine temperature, etc.) or to the emergency backup mode (e.g.
limitation of engine output power).
These strategies are intended to
. Maintain vehicle safety
. Avoid subsequent damage (from the overheated catalytic converter)
. Minimize exhaust emissions
Activation conditions:
The diagnostic routines run only after the activation requirements have been
fulfilled.
Among these are
. Torque thresholds
. Engine-temperature threshold,
. rpm limits
Diagnostics:
