In the early part of the 21st century, we find our lives intertwined with a maze of technological wonders. From cell-phones to personal computers, no human being today can escape it. Automobiles are no exception to this rule. With the ever changing emission laws of today, the one constant in the automotive industry is that things always change and will continue to do so. OBD II was designed from the beginning to do so as well. Late model vehicle systems are much more demanding, in both the amount of technology they posses and in the knowledge necessary to repair them. This work was designed to just that, a step-by step diagnostic approach to OBD II systems. It is also written with the State Inspections in mind. This is in direct response to the increasing adoption of OBD II inspections by most States throughout the country. OBD II repair don’t have to be difficult or cumbersome and knowledge is the key to successful OBD II diagnostics and repair.

"OBD expert, tuner, and author Keith McCord explains system architecture, function, and operation. He shows you how to use a hand-held scanner, connect it to the port connector in the car, and interpret the data. But most importantly, he shows you a practical, analytical, and methodical process for tackling a problem, so you can quickly trace its actual source and fix the root cause and not just the symptom..." -- from page 4 of cover.
