EOBD SYSTEM
(European On Board
Diagnosis)
(where provided)
Operation
The EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis system) carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the
components of the vehicle related to
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on the
display, when these components are no
longer in peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” paragraph in this
chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
monitor the efficiency of the system;
indicate an increase in emissions;
indicate the need to replace
damaged components.
The vehicle also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools,
that makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control
units together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to
check the system completely, a Fiat
Dealership is obliged to run tests and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
require a long journey.
