All the powertrain components described in previoussection on Powertrain and Emission Controls in Passenger vehiclesincluding sensors, actua<strong>to</strong>rs, and switches are checked for correct operation.In addition the performance of emission control apparatus are continuouslymoni<strong>to</strong>red using OBD <strong>II</strong> <strong>Diagnostics</strong> criteria. The following is a list of themajor CARB related OBD I I diagnostic requirements for all vehiclemanufacturers:
