2 Public Workshop – El Monte, CA Date: Thursday, October 30, 2014 Finalization of OBD II Regulatory Package Finalize proposal in March/April timeframe All proposed OBD II amendments frozen May 2015 45-Day Notice Package Projected publication date: August 4, 2015 Includes notice, staff report, and proposed regulatory language Board Hearing Projected date: September 24-25, 2015 Changes requiring leadtime generally won’t be implemented until at least MY2019
3 LEV III OBD II Gasoline Thresholds Exhaust Standards Monitor Thresholds (except catalyst) Catalyst Monitor Threshold Vehicle Type Vehicle Emission Category NMOG+NOx Mult. CO Mult. PM Mult. PM THD (mg/mi) NMOG+NOx Mult. Passenger Cars, Light- Duty Trucks, and Chassis Certified MDPVs LEV N/A ULEV125 ULEV ULEV50 SULEV SULEV Applies to 2019 and subsequent model year vehicles 2. For SULEV20 vehicles, in lieu of the 2.50 NMOG+NOx multiplier set forth in Table 1, manufacturers shall use an NMOG+NOx multiplier of 3.25 for the first three model years a vehicle is certified, but no later than the 2025 model year
4 LEV-III OBD II Diesel Thresholds Exhaust StandardsMonitor Thresholds Aftertreatment Monitor Thresholds Vehicle Type Vehicle Emission Category NMOG+ NOx Mult. CO Mult. PM Mult. NMOG+ NOx Mult. CO Mult. PM Mult. Passenger Cars, Light- Duty Trucks, and Chassis Certified MDPVs LEV ULEV125 ULEV ULEV50 SULEV SULEV20 1. Applies to 2019 and subsequent model years. For DPF Monitoring, the PM threshold is 17.5 mg/mile.
The number of unused 2 byte fault codes within the SAE J2012/J1979 structure is rapidly decreasing Industry has proposed moving from J1979 to UDS (ISO 14229) ◦ provides for 3 byte fault codes. ◦ Would require all OBD II messages to be moved over to UDS ◦ UDS is CAN based, but would require updates to scan tools/IM equipment Fixing J1979 to provide for new DTC structure is also a possibility Pros and cons exists for each option Immediate fix: permit fault code assignments outside of the normal boundaries (e.g., P04XX – auxiliary emission controls) ◦ Provides relief for categories about to be exhausted Long term: continue to work with manufacturers and tool industry to decide best course of action. 5
Standardizes requirement to erase “history” codes after 40 warm up cycles. Minor amendments to clarify permanent fault code erasure for thermostat and “time-to-closed-loop” monitors, and to prevent code erasure delays 6
Better defines monitoring requirement applicability May reduce number of minor faults monitored “testing out” of monitoring requirements permitted for faults with less than 15% of standard impact. ◦ Evaluated over 4 different cycles MIL illumination not required for failures that invoke acceptable “emissions-neutral default action” Provisions to exempt components/systems that are purely safety related (e.g., traction control) 7
Real time parameters added for PEMS testing and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) dosing on diesel vehicles. Distance travelled since inch leak detection monitor last completed ◦ Helpful for in-use testing purposes Hybrid vehicle charging status, system voltage/current Possible addition of green house gas related parameters. 8
In-use monitoring ratios won’t be erased by battery disconnection Monitor test result improvements for air/fuel ratio cylinder imbalance and some diesel engine parameters OBD Connector ◦ Incorporate latest version of J1962 into regulation ◦ Prohibit covers and access panels ◦ Prohibit multiple J1962 connectors in driver’s foot-well location 9
◦ Workshop presentations ◦ Rulemaking package (after Aug 4) ◦ Past rulemakings ◦ Fact sheets and other reference materials Board Hearing Webcasts ◦ Questions? ◦ Allen Lyons (626) , 10
