the version of onboard diagnostics used. OBD stands for OnBoard Diagnostics.

generally speaking, the newer the obd system the more computer cotrolled a car is

OBD systems have changed little since they were standardized with OBD-II in 1996, and now there are tons of sensors constantly checking your car, if something is out of spec it will return a check engine light and if you scan the computer it will tell you whats wrong (though it doesnt detect near all of the problems that could go wrong, it can help tell you and diagnose a problem in your car)
