Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 283 Onboard Diagnostic System OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. It stores diag- nostic information about your vehicle's emis- sion controls. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a component or system that is not performing within an expected range. A fault may be permanent or tempo- rary. OBD II will store a message about any fault. Emission inspection readiness How do states use OBD II for emission Many states connect a computer directly to a vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then read "faults." In some states, this type of inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission test. How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec- tion for any of the following reasons. • If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your vehicle may fail inspection. • If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit, but went out without any action on your part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the inspection practices in your area. • If you had recent service that required disconnecting the battery, OBD II diag- nostic information may be incomplete and "not ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not ready may fail inspection. How can I prepare for my next OBD II • If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit – or was lit but went out without service, have your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced by a qualified Volvo technician. • If you recently had service for a lit Check Engine light, or if you had service that required disconnecting the battery, a period of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and- go/highway driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can provide you with more information on planning a trip. • Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your vehicle's maintenance schedule. Booking service and repairs Connected Service Booking (CSB) makes set- ting up a time for service, maintenance and/or repairs directly from the vehicle quick and convenient. Prerequisites • The owner (primary driver) must have a valid Volvo ID. See Volvo ID (p. 21) for additional information. • The vehicle must be connected to the ® cell phone. See your Sensus Infotainment supplement for information on pairing a cell phone. On models equipped with Volvo On Call (VOC)*, you can connect to the Internet using your separate VOC data plan. Refer to your separate Volvo On Call manual. • By default, the retailer where you pur- chased your vehicle will be your preferred (primary) retailer/Volvo authorized work- shop who will perform service and repairs on your vehicle. To change the preferred retailer, go to Dealer Locator at volvocars.com and select a retailer, click on Service Scheduler and book an appointment at the new preferred retailer. • In order to be guided through the on- screen steps, the menu alternative Display notifications must be activated.
