How do I get data from OBD2?
To log OBD2 data involves 3 simple steps:
- Configure your OBD2 logger with a list of OBD2 PIDs
- Connect it in your car via an OBD2 adapter to start logging
- Extract the SD and decode the data via the free software/API
How does OBD communicate?
Modern OBD implementations use a standardized digital communications port to provide real-time data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow a person to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle..
How does OBD2 work?
An OBD2 automotive scanner connects to the car's diagnostic port located in the driver area.
They connect to a mobile app on your smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
The app can read and interpret stored error codes.
It can also delete error codes once the fault has been rectified..
OBD2 Recorder
The ODB2 data format is a standard SUBPROTOCOL for the CANBus bus.
It includes several different bus systems, including ODB, CAN-II, and DTC.
The ODB2 data format includes CAN IDs as well as the CAN bus.
CAN messages have up to 8 bytes of data..
What data CAN be extracted from OBD2?
What Data is Available from OBD? OBD-II offers a standard way to access many types of data, including: Real-time parameters: RPM, speed, pedal position, spark advance, airflow rate, coolant temperature, etc..
What information is on OBD2?
The 10 OBD2 services (aka modes)
Mode 1 shows Current Data and is used for looking at real-time parameters like vehicle speed, RPM, throttle position etc.
Other modes are e.g. used to show/clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and show freeze frame data..
What is OBD database?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a computer system inside of a vehicle that tracks and regulates a car's performance.
This on-board computer system collects information from the network of sensors inside the vehicle, which the system can then use to regulate car systems or alert the user to problems..

The ODB2 data format includes CAN IDs as well as the CAN bus.
CAN messages have up to 8 bytes of data. - While OBD2 PID information is only available on-request by OBD2 test equipment, the J1939 protocol is used in most heavy-duty vehicles as the basic means for communicating CAN traffic - meaning data is broadcast continuously.
