After the cessation of the pandemic, this revision has been found in the technical inspection of vehicles
The OBD (On Board Diagnostics) test, translated as the on-board diagnostics system, is one of the revisions recovered this year from the Technical Inspectorate of Vehicles (ITV). His return came on July 1 after it was suspended due to the pandemic, as the technician was not allowed to enter the interior due to restrictions.
The OBD test consists of a diagnosis carried out through an examination of the vehicle’s central computer. It is verified that the vehicle does not exceed the emission limits and that it has not been tampered with. Thanks to this device, the mileage, the ABS, the electronic stability system and the operation of airbags and lights are checked.
In particular, OBD is a system built into cars to detect errors and control emissions. This technology was born with the aim of controlling the level of polluting emissions. An aspect that is carefully monitored to reduce the environmental impact of the gases they emit. With the aim of improving the air condition in major cities, several measures have already been implemented in Spain, such as eco-labelling or low-emission zones. That is why it is a very important ITV test and it is now also trying to put an end to the manipulation of security and emission control systems.
This is a very extensive test that not all cars have to pass. The OBD became mandatory in 2018 with the entry into force of the new regulations regarding ITV. After the break in 2020, vehicles in categories M and N will be approved for Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions, registered from 1 January 2011, and trucks registered for Euro VI from 1 January 2014. This is stated in the ITV Station Approval Procedure Manual .
