Check You Car's On-board diagnostics In Linux with ELM327 - OBD-II

[heywire]

FYI -- the 01 01 actually just returns the number of messages stored. You must issue a 03 to actually get the list of codes. The 3rd byte of the 41 01 response indicates if the MIL light is on, and the number of codes stored.

This is great dude, my uncle was about to spend 500+ dollars on a machine that does this exactly.

I'll tell him about this and see if I can't get his laptop set up with that app you talked about.

@cmd2tuts: yeah, there are plenty of programs out there. It's comes with CD for Windows, and there are at least 2 or 3 I've seen for Linux that have nice simple GUIs. I plan on continuing to manually access it, because for me it all about learning as much as I can.

I use to work as a vehicle emissions tester and would do OBD II tests all the time, but I had no idea the Linux kernel could interface with the car's computer. Great information.
