Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner

Vehicles have been through a succession of challenges, mainly in the emissions and safety departments. These developments are good news to each one of us – as reducing vehicle emissions will help us live a healthier, less polluted life. Safety features like air-bags, ABS and stability control all help minimize human error mistakes and in case of an accident the passengers are more likely to survive the accident. These are all controlled through electronic modules which need a Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner when a fault occurs.

The OBD II Software

The OBD II software (On-board Diagnostics 2) is the second generation or updated system. The first OBD system was used as necessity because of tougher Federal legislation in the US. Manufacturers started using emission devices to reduce the exhaust pollution level in their new vehicles. This ultimately lead the manufacturers to seek better solution systems available and so started moving onto electronically controlled systems for fuel to air mixes and ignition. Thus the OBD was created. This served a dual purpose as it also had an OBD plug for diagnostic purposes. The OBD system did vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as there was no regulatory board set up. As long as the emissions were within the safety parameters of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) they moved on to production, so there are very few set standards on the OBD system. The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) started working and changed all this with a set of common standards. A good example is the OBD plug which was standardized for all OBD systems. Test signals were also standardized so better maintenance could be achieved through a vaster range of professional mechanics other than the main dealer.

The OBD2 system is an upgraded version of the OBD system and it now integrates with more hardware and software systems than it did previously. CAN (Controlled Area Network) is one such system.

CAN system

This system started out through German manufacturer Mercedes Benz on their production cars in 1992. CAN was initially introduced to reduce the amount of wires in the vehicle’s wire harness thus reducing production costs and vehicle weight. The CAN system has expanded significantly throughout these years, with communication speeds increasing drastically and the addition of much more safety and comfort devices.

These particular systems need a special type of Diagnostic Scanner when faults emerge. Most Diagnostic OBD2 Scanners which do not accept the CAN involvement cannot be used to diagnose such systems with CAN integrated into the OBD2 software. Luckily though these scanners are becoming much more affordable now and with a little sacrifice anyone can purchase a Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner which accepts and also diagnoses the CAN system. The initial investment of these scanners will pay off immediately the first time they are used to repair a fault as diagnosing and repairs by professionals will cost a fortune. This system opens an opportunity for anyone willing to take on their vehicle’s repairs as the scanner removes most of the guess work and puts the professional experience in par to most knowledgeable Do-It-Yourself-ers.  More information on Automotive Diagnostic OBD2 Scanners can be obtained from Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner.

Hybrid Conversions – Supplementary Fuel

Join the new revolution without buying a new hybrid vehicle….
“How?”
Convert your existing vehicle to work with Water! Not kidding.

Basics – How It Works:

Water is used, as already stated, but is never mixed up with fuel in its own form. The chemistry of normal water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen. The two hydrogen atoms are linked by a single chemical bond to one oxygen atom. Its chemical formula in scientific terms is H2O. What we need from water is to extract the entrapped hydrogen – this is our secondary fuel. A quick note on hydrogen is that it is actually more powerful than our own normal fuel medium, being gas or diesel. This is used as a supplementary fuel in addition to our normal fuel in the engine’s combustion cycle, meaning that we are now using less of the engine’s original required fuel (gas or diesel).

Why should a Hybrid Engine Conversion be considered?

Engine Hybrid Conversion – Guaranteed Results!

This is simply the way to go unless you already own or are in the process of buying an environmentally friendly hybrid vehicle. All engine types can work and benefit tremendously from this system.

It is a win-win situation as it saves you big money from fuel expenses while also polluting virtually much less poisonous emissions than before the system was installed. It also reduces and eventually cleans up the carbon build-up in the engine.
Another great thing is engine wear is less as it decreases the normal engine operating temperature.
Engine runs smoother and also gains extra power.

This is easily understandable when one considers the fact that hydrogen fuel creates a bigger explosion, which is needed for the engine rotational cycle. This surely will be more effective than traditional fuel. This much stronger power is the key to less fuel and obviously less harmful emissions, commonly found in traditional fuels. Hydrogen emissions are no more than water vapor, so it does not harm the environment in any way – the contrary as a matter of fact!

Tips:

1. Try installing one now and I guarantee that you’ll never look back as the saving alone are enormous. It can be done by a competent D.I.Y.-er or a good qualified mechanic or vehicle technician.
2. Do not be put off by the many myths about this system from negative people surrounding you. NASA had done some testing more than 20 years ago on a diesel engine and their results were outstanding.
3. BMW is launching the New 7-series automobile with this kind of system. Surely they are leading by example here and I can assure you they will not launch their best (top) flagship luxury automobile worth thousand s of Dollars if they are not sure the system works fine.
4. Another global political secret: All countries depend on fuel and they Fully Support (hiddenly) the petroleum industry. They might look environmentally friendly politicians with an ever-green agenda BUT they depend so much on these mega companies that they do not support this system. Australia is currently one of them – there are many more, rest assured!

Benefits:

1. Your saving on fuel expenses will be massive per year if you use you vehicle very often. That alone and with the current sky-rocketing fuel prices should get you moving in the right direction.
2. Environmentally friendly and safer than pure hydrogen vehicles as the hydrogen is produced from water on demand only when the engine is running – dangerous storage is eliminated, which is the hazardous problem associated with hydrogen storage in any form. Hydrogen emissions are 100% clean as they are water vapor from vehicle’s tailpipe. The only poisonous emissions are the ones from the fuel and these are reduced drastically as fuel consumption is much less.
3. Do it for the sake of future generations who are not guilty for all our bad deeds to the environment. Remember about the future of your grand children and their futures.
4. You will not be playing the game of feeding the big boy’s mouths – petroleum industry and global politics.
5. The saying goes “You are what you eat” – you aren’t a healthy person if you are driving a toxic vehicle!

 

 

If you think that you should make the final decision for reducing the ozone problem, and most importantly you decide that you should drastically slash your annual fuel expenses (they add up horrendously if you keep all receipts for a year) there are two options available:

• 1.  Replace your vehicle with a new hybrid or even electric car

OR

• 2.  Convert your own vehicle to a hybrid one                          

Tip: The conversion is not complicated at all and can be done by competent D.I.Y.-ers if they are inclined enough to read the instructions thoroughly. Any competent mechanic willing to do such an installation, and doesn’t consider this a waste of their profitable time can complete the task successfully. You might even convince them that there is a possible market for such a system after all, and they might try and promote it themselves for installation, as they should find it better than major repairs (less time and no oily fingers) adding to their own profits. So there are no excuses whatever – you can have it installed on your vehicle one way or another. The last decision is yours!

Tips on Slashing Your Fuel Prices! Guaranteed

There is something very impressive….. which has been known for some time, well – more than 30 years and no major manufacturer has tapped onto this system. Unbelievable!

Everyone is shouting Loud and Clear  to take  serious action in protecting the ozone, while  blaming high pollutants like factories, vehicles of all sorts, starting from the biggest (commercial) to the smallest, amongst other variations one can come up with. After all we are now paying our own mistakes by neglecting the ozone. Fuel prices are on the record over-run, and all manufacturers are coming up with is either a hybrid engine or electric motors.

The good news is that we do not need to spend thousands on a new hybrid vehicle if we want to help improve both the global problem and try and balance our own fuel costs. Actually this can be translated into plain English “Slash My Fuel Costs”. The solution is right at our finger-tips. We can convert our existing engines to be a hybrid vehicle, no matter what the engine is; diesel or gasoline from the smallest passenger vehicle to the biggest industrial machines. Everyone who is not currently running a hybrid engine should consider this option – even NASA tests had provided positive results.

Now the better part is still coming. Guess what… The fuel additive is WATER! You can find out more about this impressive system here.

Increased Roles of the Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner

Using the diagnostic OBD2 scanner as a tool for repairs
Modern engines have become so complex electronically that it is sometimes quite a challenging task knowing where to begin when a fault indicator lamp on the instrumentation panel goes on. This is even made worse on an OBD II engine when somebody tries to tackle these faults without using a compatible diagnostic OBD2 scanner. This really…… >[read more]

Using the diagnosticOBD2 scanner for emissions testing
Emission test centers are now using the second generation OBD diagnostic software where applicable for the vehicle’s emissions test. This is not only faster, it is more accurate as there is a much less margin for error, unlike the tailpipe tests. Old traditional tailpipe testing is……>[read more]

Any vehicles being emission tested must have these two points below functional and untempered so the test can continue:

1. Functional ‘Check Engine’ Illumination which goes on when every time vehicle is started and goes out after a few seconds – Any blown out illumination bulbs for the Malfunction Illumination Light ‘MIL’ or ‘Check Engine’ is an instant failure. No electronic tampering devices are allowed on this circuit.
2. Diagnostic Connector present and attached to the factory allocated position – The OBD II connector must be present and ready to accept the scantest. The vehicle must pass the OBD II parameters’ scantest.

Further details on this topic can be found on the Role of the OBD II Software and System. Mainly the OBD I differs from the OBD II because certain features, parameters and requirements became standardized in OBD II.
Previously in OBD I each manufacturer set up their own specialized, but not standardized hardware and software programing. This created confusion for the main dealers and specialized mechanics, as manufacturers…..>[read more]

Difference between OBD I and OBD II
The most important changes in the OBD II system were introducing common platform characteristics which were the same in all vehicles, regardless of make and model. A common standardized 16 pin plug was introduced and the generic codes became the same in all software systems. This move was essential so that more qualified mechanics, including the main dealers could use the same diagnostic OBD2 scanner for all OBD II compliant systems. This not only reduced the amount of dedicated factory scanners, thus reducing equipment costs, but…..>[read more]
