Since OBD-II stores trouble codes for emissions equipment, the testing computer can query the vehicle's onboard computer and verify there are no emission related trouble codes and that the vehicle is in compliance with emission standards for the model year it was manufactured.
An optical reader is a device that observes visual information and translates it into digital information, [1] as found within most image and barcode and matrix-code scanners.
