OBD1 Codes

OBD1 Diagnostic Trouble Codes
 
     In the 80's General Motors implemented an interface and a protocol for testing the Engine control unit for the vehicles on the assembly line. This protocol will known as ALDL which first comunicated with 160 baude rate and with pulse-width modulation; later 1986 this protocol was upgraded to 8192 baud and half-duplex signaling. Finaly in 1991 the California Air Resource Board declaires that all new vehicles sold in Calofornia should have some basic OBD functions. After the introduction of the OBD 2 this first on board dignostic systems will be called OBD 1.
