EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis
of emission-related components on the
vehicle to be made.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the warning light in the instrument
panel (together with relevant message
in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided)
when these components are no longer
in peak condition (see “Warning lights
and messages” paragraph).
The aim of the system is to:
monitor system efficiency;
indicate an increase in emissions due
to vehicle malfunction;
indicate the need to replace
components which have deteriorated.
The system also has a connector that
can be interfaced with appropriate
equipment, which makes it possible
to read the error codes stored in the
control unit together with a series
of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis. This check
can also be carried out by traffic control
authorities.
WARNING After eliminating the failure,
to check the system completely, Fiat
Dealerships run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
