On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Diagnostic Service Definitions
The following may occur as well:
• It may also erase engine management adaptive memory (some vehicle manufacturers only)
when codes are cleared. Depending on the vehicle, adaptive memory may not correct itself
without extensive driving.
• Other manufacturer specific actions for clearing and setting may also occur in response to this
request message.
• Normally the MIL automatically turns off after a successful repair, if emissions are normal.
Refer to “Repair validation” on page 16.
IMPORTANT:
For safety and/or technical design reasons, some ECMs may not respond to this service under all
conditions.
NOTE:
i In most cases, once a MIL is deactivated, the original code remains in memory until forty to eighty
warm-up cycles are completed without the fault reappearing.
4.6.5 Service $05: Oxygen Sensor Monitoring Test Results
The purpose of this service is to allow access to the on-board oxygen sensor monitoring test
results (if implemented).
NOTE:
i For CAN vehicles, Service $05 is not supported. Oxygen sensor test results are implemented in
Service $06. For non-CAN vehicles, manufacturers can use Service $06 as an alternative to
Service $05.
Different manufacturers may use many methods to calculate test results for this service. The scan
tool converts test values and displays them in the standard units of measurement.
The ECM transmits the latest test results available from the system. Test results are retained by
the ECM, even over multiple ignition OFF cycles, until replaced by the results of a more recent
test. Test results are requested by Test ID. (See Test ID Table).
Test results can be reported either as a constant or as a calculated value, depending on the Test
ID. Calculated values are reported with minimum and maximum limits.
NOTE:
i Depending on the manufacturer, calculated values may be rounded off, which means that a test
may fail despite the values reading within min. and max limits.
$03 Confirmed diagnostic trouble codes
$05 Oxygen sensor test data
$06 Specific on-board monitoring test results
$07 Pending diagnostic trouble codes
