obd third generation will include: for example, if a cop drives by you and your :check engine" light is on then he can pull you over because he will have some sort of devise that will signal him. another example includes: when you go to smog your car, the technician will simply put some sort of scanner in your car that will tell him if your car meets standars. and it can also let him know if the car has had any servicing, any particular problems inthe past, because the computer will record this data and w they will not put that pipe inthe exhaust any more. ALSO, if you get in a HIGH SPEED pursuit with a cop they will be able to turn your CAR OFF!! i got this info. from my auto tech. instructor in school.
