This package is related to the 2015 OBD II rulemaking item (Board Hearing September 24-25, 2015) and includes the Final Statement of Reasons and Final Regulation Orders for the OBD II regulations (section 1968.2 and 1968.5 of title 13, California Code of Regulations). The package was approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on July 25, 2016 and became effective the same day. The documents can be found on the official ARB regulation website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2015/obdii2015/obdii2015.htm These same documents are also available on the OBD website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/obdprog/obdregs.htm If you have any questions or comments pertaining to the changes, please contact Wendy Gallardo by phone at (626) 450-6229 or by e-mail at wendy.gallardo@arb.ca.gov. Background: OBD systems are self-diagnostic systems incorporated into the computers of new vehicles. The OBD II system monitors virtually every component that can affect the emission performance of the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle remains as clean as possible over its entire life, and assists repair technicians in diagnosing and fixing problems with the computerized engine controls. All 1996 and newer model year light-duty and medium-duty vehicles less than 14,000 lbs. are equipped with OBD II systems, while heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs. have phased in OBD systems starting with the 2010 model year.
