This video is part of our extremely popular series of CAN protocol intros. We do so through concrete examples like Vehicle Speed and RPM to make it easy to understand.įor a quick intro to our CANedge CAN bus data loggers, check out the below! a response message, what are OBD2 PIDs and much more. In this video and the article, we in particular focus on the data logging part of OBD2 - how is a message structured, what is an OBD query / request vs. fleet management, fuel optimization, CAN sniffing and more. But OBD2 is also relevant as a source of real-time vehicle data for use in e.g. an OBD2 scanner or code reader to identify the underlying issues behind a lit malfunction indicator light (MIL). In practice, the OBD2 protocol allows a mechanic to use e.g. It allows for a standardized method for accessing various data, diagnostic trouble codes and more from cars, medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. OBD (On Board Diagnostics) is the vehicle's self-diagnostic system.
In this basic intro to OBD2 we go through the basics, data logging, PIDs and more!
