Solution

OBD stands for \"on-board diagnostics,\" a computer-based system built into all model year (MY) 1996 and newer light-duty cars and trucks. OBD monitors the performance of some of the engines\' major components, including individual emission controls. The system provides owners with an early warning of malfunctions by way of a dashboard \"Check Engine\" light (also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light or MIL, for short). By giving vehicle owners this early warning, OBD protects not only the environment but also consumers, identifying minor problems before they become major repair bills.OBD IS ALWAYS REFERRED AS vehicle\'s self-diagnostic and reporting capability
