What is OBD2 also known as OBDII?
OBDII stands for On-Board Diagnostics, II generation. It is a set of documents issued by SAE and ISO, which describe the interchange of digital information between on-board emission-related Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of road vehicles and an OBD-II scan tool. OBD-II also commonly refers to the physical on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle, which consists of an ECU (or multiple ECUs), Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC), and the wiring that connect the different elements.
