Computers
Use inputs to control outputs
![Page 3: Computers. s Use inputs to control outputs Inputs s Most are from sensors s Will usually be either an analog or digital voltage s Most will supply an](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071705/56649d005503460f949d315f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Inputs
Most are from sensors Will usually be either an analog or
digital voltage Most will supply an input similar to a
potentiometer or have a varying frequency AC or DC signal

Trouble codes
A code stored in a computer to identify a specific type of fault
Indication that something has gone outside of normal operating parameters for a specific period of time
A function of the computer’s self diagnostic capabilities

OBD1 (on-board diagnostics one)
Began in late 1970s but was not made mandatory by federal govt. until 1990s
Required all vehicles to perform self diagnostics to identify some major failures that can cause excessive emissions
Most trouble codes could be flashed out on an indicator lamp

OBD2 (on-board diagnostics two)
Started appearing in 1994 and made mandatory on most vehicles in 1996
Requires all vehicles to identify any failure that will result in exceeding the FTP by 1.5%– This includes identifying old catalytic
converters, missfires, and evaporative systems failures

OBD2
Trouble codes are now universal and require the use of a scan tool to read
DLC is now universal

Trouble code access
Can be gained by various methods:– Grounding a wire and counting flashes of
bulb– Grounding a wire and counting pulses of
volt meter– Unplugging the coolant temperature sensor
and counting flashes

Trouble code access
Can be gained by various methods:– Cycling the key on and off three times and
counting the flashes– Through the data stream via a scan tool

Trouble code types
Current vs. History– Just because the light is on does not mean
problem is occurring Hard vs. Soft

Trouble code diagnosis
If problem is occurring; use published diagnostics and grey matter
If problem is not occurring; the published diagnostics and charts can help but in almost every case can not be used directly
If a vehicle has multiple codes, look for commonalties
One malfunction can set multiple codes
