The rise in the sheer amount of electronics in the automobile, the use of software to control the vehicle, and the increased complexity of modern fuel-injection systems place high demands on the diagnostic concept, monitoring during vehicle operation (on-board diagnosis), and workshop diagnostics (Fig. 1). The workshop diagnostics is based on a guided troubleshooting procedure that links the many possibilities of onboard and offboard test procedures and test equipment. As emission-control legislation becomes more and more stringent and continuous monitoring is now called for, lawmakers have now acknowledged on-board diagnosis as an aid to monitoring exhaustgas emissions, and have produced manufacturer- independent standardization. This additional system is termed the
on-board diagnostic system
