2.2 Service 02 - Show freeze frame data.Some heavy duty trucks in North America use the SAE J1962 OBD-II diagnostic connector that is common with passenger cars, notably Mack and Volvo Trucks, however they use 29 bit CAN identifiers (unlike 11 bit headers used by passenger cars). Heavy duty vehicles (greater than 14,000 lb ) made after 2010, for sale in the US are allowed to support OBD-II diagnostics through SAE standard J1939-13 (a round diagnostic connector) according to CARB in title. They are both required to be accessed through a standardized data link connector defined by SAE J1962. In 1996, light duty vehicles (less than 8,500 lb ) were the first to be mandated followed by medium duty vehicles (between 8,500–14,000 lb ) in 2005. Though not mandated, many motorcycles also support OBD-II PIDs. Manufacturers also define additional PIDs specific to their vehicles. All on-road vehicles and trucks sold in North America are required to support a subset of these codes, primarily for state mandated emissions inspections.
SAE standard J1979 defines many OBD-II PIDs. OBD-II PIDs ( On-board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool.
