The OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system is a smart diagnostic tool in modern cars that helps owners quickly identify and resolve issues. Using an OBD diagnostic tool allows you to easily read fault codes and assess the vehicle’s condition.

How the OBD System Works: The OBD system collects data from the vehicle's sensors and monitors the performance of the engine and other components in real-time. When an anomaly is detected, the system generates fault codes to help technicians locate the problem.

Common Fault Codes:

• P0300: Engine Misfire
• P0420: Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold
• P0171: System Too Lean

Steps to Use an OBD Tool:

1. Plug the OBD tool into the vehicle's OBD-II port.
2. Start the vehicle and read the fault codes.
3. Refer to the codes to diagnose issues and perform repairs.
