    Default OBD II Codes



    I know there was some discussion in the past about code readers and such, but this is interesting info no matter how you get your codes out of the system:

    http://www.edgeproducts.com/product_...cle-pdf-41.pdf

    First digit structure is as follows:
    Pxxxx for powertrain
    Bxxxx for body
    Cxxxx for chassis
    Uxxxx for future systems

    Second digit structure is:
    P0xxx Government required codes
    P1xxx Manufacturer codes for additional emission system function; not required but reported to the government

    Third digit structure is:
    Px1xx measurement of air and fuel
    Px2xx measurement of air and fuel
    Px3xx ignition system
    Px4xx additional emission control
    Px5xx speed and idle regulation
    Px6xx computer and output signals
    Px7xx transmission
    Px8xx transmission
    Px9xx control modules, input and output signals

    The fourth and fifth digits designate the individual components and systems.

    Nice info to have!


    To mix things up more... one can look into connecting a smartphone / tablet to the system!

    I know that you can connect a laptop with the right software and read all sorts of engine performance data. Pretty slick as I learn more about it.

    I use this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Mini-E...item2c68a78537 plugged into the OBDII port on my Jeep and this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...g.prowl.torque running on an old smart phone I had laying around. It gives me real time engine info.

    Tim, any idea if that OBDII bluetooth scanner attachment would work on an OBDI (93 Wrangler) system?

    I am guessing it wouldn't work. Info from Wikipedia says the following "The data link connector and its position are not standardized, nor is the data protocol." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

    Yeah, the older OBDI info is really limited.
