ODB was the original standard SAE-derived system installed from 1988 to
1995 in some California vehicles. The rest of the US (and Canada) used
automakers' own proprietary diagnostics system.

Starting in about 1994, the entire US was forced by US federal law to begin
phasing in an updated version of California's original OBD. This updated
system was known as OBD-II.

After some thought here, I suppose you *could* logically call the original
OBD "OBD-I". World War I was not called that until they had a second war,
so the logic is similar. However, Honda's diag system is not the same thing
as the original OBD.
