Delving into OBD2: Understanding the Basics

OBD2 serves as your Chevrolet’s internal health monitoring system. It’s a standardized protocol that allows access to crucial information, from diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to real-time operational data, all through the OBD2 connector.

If you’ve ever seen the “check engine light” illuminate on your Chevrolet’s dashboard, you’ve encountered OBD2 in action.

This light signals a problem detected by your car’s computer. Mechanics use OBD2 scanners to interpret these signals and diagnose issues efficiently. They connect the scanner to the 16-pin OBD2 connector, typically located near the steering wheel in your Chevrolet. The scanner sends “OBD2 requests,” and your Chevrolet responds with “OBD2 responses” containing data like speed, fuel levels, and DTCs, streamlining the troubleshooting process.

OBD2 Compatibility: Is Your Chevrolet Supported?

The answer is almost certainly yes for most modern Chevrolet vehicles!

Nearly all contemporary gasoline and diesel Chevrolets are OBD2 compliant, and most utilize the CAN bus communication protocol. However, for older Chevrolet models, the presence of a 16-pin connector doesn’t automatically guarantee OBD2 support.

To verify OBD2 compliance in your Chevrolet, consider its year and region of purchase:

A Brief History of OBD2 and its Relevance to Chevrolet

OBD2’s origins trace back to California, where the California Air Resources Board (CARB) mandated OBD systems in all new vehicles from 1991 onwards for emissions monitoring. This initiative significantly impacted manufacturers like Chevrolet, pushing for standardized diagnostic practices.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) played a crucial role in standardizing OBD2, including DTCs and the universal OBD connector (SAE J1962), ensuring consistency across all brands, including Chevrolet.

The OBD2 standard was implemented progressively:

1996: OBD2 became mandatory in the USA for cars and light trucks, affecting Chevrolet’s US market models.
2001: Required in the EU for gasoline cars (EOBD), influencing Chevrolet’s European gasoline models.
2003: Extended to diesel cars in the EU (EOBD), impacting Chevrolet’s diesel offerings in Europe.
2005: OBD2 required in the US for medium-duty vehicles, relevant to Chevrolet’s truck and van lines.
2008: US vehicles required to use ISO 15765-4 (CAN) as the OBD2 foundation, standardizing communication for Chevrolet and other manufacturers.
2010: OBD2 mandate extended to heavy-duty vehicles in the US, covering Chevrolet’s larger commercial vehicles.

The Future of OBD2: Implications for Chevrolet

OBD2 is expected to remain a vital part of vehicle diagnostics, but its form is evolving.

Several key trends are emerging:

While legislated OBD2 was initially for emissions control, electric vehicles (EVs) like the Chevrolet Bolt EV or Silverado EV are often exempt from OBD2 requirements. Many EVs, including Chevrolets, use OEM-specific UDS communication instead of standard OBD2. This makes accessing data challenging unless decoding methods are reverse-engineered, as seen in studies for EVs like Tesla, Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, and VW/Skoda. Chevrolet EV owners may find standard OBD2 tools limited and need specialized solutions.

To address OBD2’s limitations, especially in data richness and lower-layer protocols, modern alternatives like WWH-OBD (World Wide Harmonized OBD) and OBDonUDS (OBD on UDS) are being developed. These protocols enhance OBD communication using UDS as a base. More information on these can be found in introductions to UDS. Future Chevrolet diagnostics might incorporate these advanced protocols for richer data access.

In the era of connected cars, manual OBD2 emission checks are becoming less efficient. OBD3 proposes adding telematics to vehicles, including Chevrolets. This would involve a radio transponder to transmit the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and DTCs via WiFi to a central server for automated checks.

Devices like the CANedge2 WiFi CAN logger and CANedge3 3G/4G CAN logger already enable CAN/OBD2 data transfer via WiFi/cellular. This offers convenience and cost savings but raises privacy and surveillance concerns. Chevrolet owners might benefit from such connected OBD solutions for remote diagnostics and vehicle management.

While OBD2 was designed for repair shop diagnostics, third-party use for real-time data acquisition via OBD2 dongles and CAN loggers is widespread. However, some automotive industry voices are advocating for limiting third-party OBD2 access, suggesting “turning off” OBD2 functionality during driving and centralizing data collection with manufacturers. This could impact the aftermarket for OBD2-based services for Chevrolet and other brands.

The argument for this change is primarily security, aiming to reduce car hacking risks. However, many perceive it as a commercial strategy to control automotive data. Whether this trend materializes could significantly disrupt the third-party OBD2 market and potentially limit data access for Chevrolet owners and aftermarket services.

OBD2 Standards: Ensuring Consistency Across Chevrolet Models

On-board diagnostics, OBD2, is a higher-layer protocol, similar to a language, while CAN is the communication method, like a phone line. OBD2 is comparable to other CAN-based protocols like J1939, CANopen, and NMEA 2000. These protocols define how data is structured and communicated within Chevrolet and other vehicles.

OBD2 standards specify the OBD2 connector, lower-layer protocols, OBD2 parameter IDs (PIDs), and more, ensuring consistent diagnostic approaches across different Chevrolet models and years.

These standards can be visualized using the 7-layer OSI model. Notably, SAE and ISO standards cover multiple layers, reflecting US (SAE) and EU (ISO) OBD regulations. Many standards are technically similar, such as SAE J1979 versus ISO 15031-5, and SAE J1962 versus ISO 15031-3. This standardization is crucial for tools and mechanics working with Chevrolet vehicles globally.

The OBD2 Connector [SAE J1962] in Chevrolet Vehicles

The 16-pin OBD2 connector provides easy access to data in your Chevrolet and is standardized under SAE J1962 / ISO 15031-3.

The illustration shows a Type A OBD2 pin connector, also known as the Data Link Connector (DLC). Understanding this connector is key to interfacing with your Chevrolet’s diagnostic system.

Key points about the OBD2 connector in Chevrolets:

It’s typically located near the steering wheel but may be hidden behind a panel.
Pin 16 provides battery power, often active even when the ignition is off, useful for diagnostic tools.
The OBD2 pinout configuration depends on the communication protocol used by Chevrolet.
CAN bus is the most common lower-layer protocol, meaning pins 6 (CAN-H) and 14 (CAN-L) are usually connected in modern Chevrolets.

OBD2 Connector Types: A and B in Automotive Applications

You might encounter both Type A and Type B OBD2 connectors. Type A is standard in cars like most Chevrolet passenger vehicles, while Type B is more common in medium and heavy-duty vehicles, including some Chevrolet trucks.

Both types share similar OBD2 pinouts but differ in power supply output (12V for Type A and 24V for Type B). Baud rates can also vary, with cars typically using 500K and heavy-duty vehicles often using 250K (with increasing support for 500K). Chevrolet vehicles generally use Type A connectors.

Type B connectors have an interrupted groove in the middle, distinguishing them physically. A Type B OBD2 adapter cable is compatible with both Type A and B sockets, but a Type A adapter will not fit into a Type B socket. Choosing the correct adapter is crucial for diagnostics on different Chevrolet models, especially trucks and vans.

OBD2 and CAN Bus [ISO 15765-4] in Chevrolet Vehicles

Since 2008, CAN bus has been the mandated lower-layer protocol for OBD2 in all US vehicles, including Chevrolets, as per ISO 15765.

ISO 15765-4, also known as Diagnostics over CAN (DoCAN), specifies how CAN is used for diagnostics and applies to Chevrolet vehicles. It sets restrictions on the CAN standard (ISO 11898), standardizing the CAN interface for diagnostic equipment, focusing on the physical, data link, and network layers:

CAN bus bit-rate must be 250K or 500K, both commonly used in Chevrolet models.
CAN IDs can be 11-bit or 29-bit, depending on the Chevrolet model and network configuration.
Specific CAN IDs are designated for OBD requests and responses within the Chevrolet communication network.
Diagnostic CAN frame data length is fixed at 8 bytes.
The OBD2 adapter cable should be a maximum of 5 meters.

OBD2 CAN Identifiers (11-bit, 29-bit) in Chevrolet Communication

OBD2 communication in Chevrolets, like other vehicles, involves request/response message exchanges.

In most Chevrolet cars, 11-bit CAN IDs are used for OBD2. The ‘Functional Addressing’ ID is typically 0x7DF, used to query all OBD2-compatible Electronic Control Units (ECUs) for data on a requested parameter (ISO 15765-4). CAN IDs 0x7E0-0x7E7 can be used for ‘Physical Addressing’ requests to specific ECUs, though less common in standard OBD2 diagnostics.

ECUs respond with 11-bit IDs in the range 0x7E8-0x7EF. The most frequent response ID is 0x7E8 (ECM, Engine Control Module), and sometimes 0x7E9 (TCM, Transmission Control Module), crucial for engine and transmission diagnostics in Chevrolets.

Some Chevrolet vehicles, especially vans and larger trucks, may use extended 29-bit CAN identifiers for OBD2 communication.

Here, the ‘Functional Addressing’ CAN ID is 0x18DB33F1.

Responses in 29-bit CAN ID systems range from 0x18DAF100 to 0x18DAF1FF (typically 18DAF110 and 18DAF11E). The response ID is also sometimes represented in the J1939 PGN format, specifically PGN 0xDA00 (55808), which is reserved for ISO 15765-2 in the J1939-71 standard. Understanding these IDs is crucial for advanced diagnostics and data interpretation in Chevrolet vehicles.

OBD2 vs. Proprietary CAN Protocols in Chevrolet Vehicles

It’s important to understand that your Chevrolet’s ECUs do not rely on OBD2 for their primary functions. Instead, Chevrolet, like other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), implements proprietary CAN protocols for core vehicle operations. These protocols are specific to the Chevrolet brand, model, and year and are generally not publicly documented. Interpreting this proprietary data usually requires OEM tools or reverse engineering.

Connecting a CAN bus data logger to your Chevrolet’s OBD2 port might reveal OEM-specific CAN data, typically broadcast at high rates (1000-2000 frames/second). However, newer Chevrolet models often include a ‘gateway’ that restricts access to this proprietary CAN data through the OBD2 port, allowing only standardized OBD2 communication.

In essence, think of OBD2 as an additional, higher-layer protocol operating in parallel with Chevrolet’s OEM-specific protocol. It provides a standardized diagnostic interface without exposing the deeper, proprietary communication network.

Bit-rate and ID Validation for OBD2 in Chevrolet Diagnostics

OBD2 can use two bit-rates (250K, 500K) and two CAN ID lengths (11-bit, 29-bit), resulting in four possible combinations. Modern Chevrolet cars commonly use 500K and 11-bit IDs, but diagnostic tools should systematically verify these parameters.

ISO 15765-4 outlines a systematic initialization sequence to determine the correct combination. This process leverages the requirement that OBD2-compliant vehicles must respond to a specific mandatory OBD2 request (see OBD2 PID section) and the fact that incorrect bit-rate transmission causes CAN error frames. Diagnostic tools use this to auto-detect the correct settings for Chevrolet vehicles.

Newer versions of ISO 15765-4 consider that vehicles may support OBD communication via OBDonUDS rather than OBDonEDS. While this article primarily focuses on OBD2/OBDonEDS (OBD on Emission Diagnostic Service as per ISO 15031-5/SAE J1979), OBDonUDS (OBD on Unified Diagnostic Service as per ISO 14229, ISO 27145-3/SAE J1979-2) is also relevant. WWH-OBD is primarily used in EU trucks/buses, but future Chevrolet commercial vehicles might adopt it.

To test for OBDonEDS versus OBDonUDS protocol, diagnostic tools may send UDS requests with 11-bit/29-bit functional address IDs for service 0x22 and data identifier (DID) 0xF810 (protocol identification). Vehicles supporting OBDonUDS, including some newer Chevrolets, should have ECUs that respond to this DID.

Currently, OBDonEDS (aka OBD2, SAE OBD, EOBD, or ISO OBD) is prevalent in most non-EV cars, including most Chevrolet models, while WWH-OBD is mainly in EU trucks/buses.

Five Lower-Layer OBD2 Protocols: Historical Context for Chevrolet

While CAN (ISO 15765) is now the dominant lower-layer protocol for OBD2, particularly in Chevrolet vehicles post-2008, older Chevrolet models might use other protocols. Understanding these is helpful when working with classic Chevrolets or for historical context.

Besides CAN, four other lower-layer protocols have been used for OBD2. Connector pinouts can sometimes indicate the protocol used in older Chevrolet vehicles:

ISO 15765 (CAN bus): Mandatory in US cars since 2008 and widely used in modern Chevrolets.
ISO14230-4 (KWP2000): Keyword Protocol 2000, common in 2003+ cars, including some Chevrolet models in Asia.
ISO 9141-2: Used in EU, Chrysler, and Asian cars in 2000-04, potentially found in early 2000s Chevrolet models.
SAE J1850 (VPW): Mostly in older GM cars, including some pre-OBD2 Chevrolet vehicles.
SAE J1850 (PWM): Predominantly in older Ford cars, less relevant to Chevrolet.

Transporting OBD2 Messages via ISO-TP [ISO 15765-2] in Chevrolet Systems

All OBD2 data in Chevrolet vehicles is communicated over CAN bus using ISO-TP (ISO 15765-2), a transport protocol enabling payloads larger than 8 bytes. This is essential for OBD2 functions like retrieving the VIN or DTCs, which require more data. ISO 15765-2 handles segmentation, flow control, and reassembly of these larger messages. More details are available in introductions to UDS.

Often, OBD2 data fits within a single CAN frame. ISO 15765-2 specifies ‘Single Frame’ (SF) usage in these cases. The first data byte (PCI field) indicates payload length (excluding padding), leaving 7 bytes for OBD2 communication. This is common for many real-time parameters in Chevrolet OBD2.

The OBD2 Diagnostic Message [SAE J1979, ISO 15031-5] Structure in Chevrolet

To better understand OBD2 on CAN within a Chevrolet, consider a raw ‘Single Frame’ OBD2 CAN message. Simplified, it includes an identifier, data length (PCI field), and data. The data section is further divided into Mode, parameter ID (PID), and data bytes. This structure is consistent across Chevrolet models.

Example: OBD2 Request/Response for Vehicle Speed in a Chevrolet

Consider a request for ‘Vehicle Speed’ as an example of OBD2 communication in a Chevrolet.

An external tool sends a request to the Chevrolet with CAN ID 0x7DF, containing two payload bytes: Mode 0x01 and PID 0x0D. The Chevrolet responds with CAN ID 0x7E8 and three payload bytes, including the speed value in the 4th byte, 0x32 (decimal 50).

Using OBD2 PID 0x0D decoding rules, we determine the physical value to be 50 km/h. This illustrates a basic OBD2 data retrieval process in a Chevrolet.

The 10 OBD2 Services (Modes) Relevant to Chevrolet Diagnostics

There are 10 standard OBD2 diagnostic services or modes. Mode 0x01 provides real-time data, while others are used for DTCs or freeze frame data. These modes are generally supported across OBD2-compliant Chevrolet vehicles.

Not all OBD2 modes are mandatory for vehicles to support, and Chevrolet may implement additional OEM-specific modes beyond the standard 10.

In OBD2 messages, the mode is in the 2nd byte. In a request, the mode is direct (e.g., 0x01), while in the response, 0x40 is added to the mode (e.g., resulting in 0x41). This distinction is important when interpreting OBD2 data from a Chevrolet.

OBD2 Parameter IDs (PIDs) and Chevrolet Specific Data

Each OBD2 mode contains Parameter IDs (PIDs).

For example, Mode 0x01 includes approximately 200 standardized PIDs for real-time data like speed, RPM, and fuel level. However, Chevrolet vehicles, like others, do not necessarily support all PIDs within a mode. In practice, most Chevrolets support a subset of these standardized PIDs.

One PID is particularly significant:

If an emissions-related ECU supports any OBD2 services, it must support mode 0x01 PID 0x00. In response to PID 0x00, the vehicle ECU reports whether it supports PIDs 0x01-0x20. This makes PID 0x00 a fundamental ‘OBD2 compatibility test’ for Chevrolet vehicles. Similarly, PIDs 0x20, 0x40, …, 0xC0 indicate support for subsequent PID ranges within Mode 0x01.

Tip: Utilizing an OBD2 PID Overview Tool for Chevrolet Diagnostics

SAE J1979 and ISO 15031-5 appendices detail scaling information for standard OBD2 PIDs, allowing conversion of raw data into physical values. This is crucial for interpreting diagnostic data from your Chevrolet.

For quick lookup of Mode 0x01 PIDs, use an OBD2 PID overview tool. This aids in constructing OBD2 request frames and dynamically decoding Chevrolet OBD2 responses.

Practical Guide: Logging and Decoding OBD2 Data from Your Chevrolet

This section provides a practical example of logging OBD2 data from a Chevrolet using a CANedge CAN bus data logger.

The CANedge can be configured to transmit custom CAN frames, making it suitable for OBD2 logging in Chevrolet vehicles.

Connect the CANedge to your Chevrolet using an OBD2-DB9 adapter cable for easy data capture.

Verifying CAN frame transmission at 500K on a Chevrolet

Reviewing ‘Supported PIDs’ responses in asammdf for Chevrolet

Step #1: Bit-rate, ID, and Supported PID Validation on Your Chevrolet

ISO 15765-4 describes how to determine the correct bit-rate and IDs for a specific vehicle. Use the CANedge to test your Chevrolet as follows:

Send a CAN frame at 500K and check for successful transmission (if unsuccessful, try 250K).
Use the identified bit-rate for all subsequent communication.
Send multiple ‘Supported PIDs’ requests and analyze the responses.
Determine 11-bit or 29-bit IDs based on response IDs.
Identify supported PIDs from the response data.

Pre-configured settings are available to simplify these tests with CANedge.

Most post-2008 non-EV cars, including many Chevrolets, support 40-80 PIDs using 500K bit-rate, 11-bit CAN IDs, and the OBD2/OBDonEDS protocol.

As shown in the asammdf GUI screenshot, multiple responses to a single OBD request are common, especially when using the 0x7DF request ID, which polls all ECUs. Since all OBD2/OBDonEDS-compliant ECUs must support service 0x01 PID 0x00, numerous responses to this PID are typical. Subsequent ‘Supported PIDs’ requests usually receive fewer responses as fewer ECUs support those PIDs. Notably, the ECM ECU (0x7E8) often supports all PIDs supported by other ECUs in this example, suggesting that bus load could be reduced by directing requests specifically to the ECM using ‘Physical Addressing’ CAN ID 0x7E0 for future communications.

Step #2: Configuring OBD2 PID Requests for Chevrolet Data Logging

Once you know the supported OBD2 PIDs, bit-rate, and CAN IDs for your Chevrolet, configure your transmit list with the PIDs you want to log.

Consider these points for efficient and reliable logging:

CAN IDs: Use ‘Physical Addressing’ request IDs (e.g., 0x7E0) to avoid multiple ECU responses per request.
Spacing: Introduce 300-500 ms delays between OBD2 requests to prevent ECU overload and ensure consistent responses.
Battery Drain: Use triggers to stop transmissions when the Chevrolet is inactive to prevent battery drain by continuously waking up ECUs.
Filters: Apply filters to record only OBD2 responses, especially if your Chevrolet also outputs OEM-specific CAN data, to reduce data volume and focus on relevant information.

With these configurations, your CANedge is ready to log raw OBD2 data from your Chevrolet.

asammdf visualization of DBC decoded OBD2 data from Chevrolet

Step #3: DBC Decoding of Raw OBD2 Data from Your Chevrolet

To analyze and visualize logged data, decode the raw OBD2 data into physical values (e.g., km/h, °C).

Decoding information is in ISO 15031-5/SAE J1979 and online resources like Wikipedia. For convenience, a free OBD2 DBC file is available, simplifying DBC decoding in most CAN bus software tools.

Decoding OBD2 data is more complex than standard CAN signals because different OBD2 PIDs are transmitted using the same CAN ID (e.g., 0x7E8). Therefore, the CAN ID alone is insufficient to identify the signals in the payload.

Accurate decoding requires using the CAN ID, OBD2 mode, and OBD2 PID to uniquely identify each signal. This is a form of multiplexing called ‘extended multiplexing‘, which DBC files can handle. Using a Chevrolet-specific or generic OBD2 DBC file is crucial for correctly interpreting the logged data.

CANedge: The Ideal OBD2 Data Logger for Chevrolet Vehicles

The CANedge is designed for easy OBD2 data recording in Chevrolet vehicles, storing data on 8-32 GB SD cards. Simply connect to your Chevrolet to start logging and use free software/APIs along with the OBD2 DBC for decoding.

OBD2 Multi-Frame Examples [ISO-TP] for Advanced Chevrolet Diagnostics

OBD2 communication, including in Chevrolet vehicles, uses ISO-TP for all data exchange, even when exceeding single-frame limits. Most examples so far have been single-frame. This section covers multi-frame communication examples.

Multi-frame OBD2 communication involves flow control frames. A common approach is to transmit a static flow control frame approximately 50 ms after the initial request frame, as demonstrated in the CANedge configuration example.

Analyzing multi-frame OBD2 responses requires CAN software/API tools supporting ISO-TP, such as CANedge MF4 decoders.

Example 1: Retrieving the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from a Chevrolet via OBD2

The VIN is crucial for telematics and diagnostics. To retrieve the VIN from a Chevrolet using OBD2, use mode 0x09 and PID 0x02:

The diagnostic tool sends a Single Frame request with PCI field (0x02), service identifier (0x09), and PID (0x02).

The Chevrolet responds with a First Frame including PCI, length (0x014 = 20 bytes), mode (0x49, i.e., 0x09 + 0x40), and PID (0x02). Following the PID is byte 0x01, representing the Number Of Data Items (NODI), in this case, 1. The subsequent 17 bytes are the VIN, which can be converted from HEX to ASCII.

Example 2: OBD2 Multi-PID Request (6x) for Efficient Chevrolet Data Acquisition

OBD2 allows requesting up to 6 Mode 0x01 PIDs in a single request frame. The ECU responds with data for supported PIDs (excluding unsupported ones), possibly across multiple frames via ISO-TP. This can enhance data collection efficiency from Chevrolets.

This method increases data collection frequency but complicates signal encoding, making generic OBD2 DBC files less useful. It’s generally not recommended for practical logging unless using tools specifically designed for it.

The multi-frame response structure is similar to the VIN example, but the payload includes requested PIDs and their corresponding data. While PIDs are often ordered as requested, this is not strictly mandated by ISO 15031-5.

Decoding these responses via generic DBC files is challenging. This approach involves extended multiplexing, complicated further by multiple instances within the payload. DBC files would need to account for the specific payload position of each PID, making generalization across different Chevrolet models difficult, especially if PID support varies. Handling multiple multi-PID requests further complicates DBC management.

Workarounds include custom scripts that interpret responses based on request messages, but these are difficult to scale. Thus, for most Chevrolet OBD2 data logging, simpler, single-PID requests are more practical and manageable.

Example 3: OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Retrieval from Chevrolet Vehicles

Use OBD2 mode 0x03, ‘Show stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes’, to request emissions-related DTCs. The request frame does not include a PID. The Chevrolet ECU responds with the number of stored DTCs (possibly zero), with each DTC occupying 2 data bytes. Multi-frame responses are necessary if more than 2 DTCs are stored.

The 2-byte DTC value is structured according to ISO 15031-5/ISO 15031-6. The first 2 bits define the ‘category’, and the remaining 14 bits form a 4-digit hexadecimal code. Decoded DTC values can be looked up using OBD2 DTC lookup tools.

The example below illustrates a request to a Chevrolet ECU reporting 6 stored DTCs.
