A. The OBDII specification requires manufacturers to provide real time data related to emissions. Generic parameters indicate the status of devices that monitor the vehicle’s oxygen sensors, fuel system, heated catalyst, and evaporative system. Additionally, sensors report on engine speed, vehicle speed, mass air flow, and long and short term fuel trim.
