  • 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.

  • 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 what I name a f*ing tutorial. Thanks a lot!

  • @grandmasterhack Using CLI while driving is the ultimate hack, anyways!

  • 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.
