This application may also be suitable for a professional shop for a quick diagnosis of the vehicle's emissions system. Each vehicle's control computer constantly collects data from all sensors and adjusts actuators in order to keep the powertrain operating at nominal values. In addition, the on-board computer runs diagnostic tests to ensure the vehicle is operating in accordance with emission standards. Some PIDs (like Engine Coolant Temperature or Vehicle Speed) return sensor and/or vehicle data and, when started, will continue to display up-to-date data on the digital readout and on the graph. Others only provide status of the current capabilities or installed equipment. When those are requested, the collection will automatically stop after one iteration.
