I can't even seem to find any reference to odb 3 existing at all in the first place. So yeah any link would be very much appreciated

I'd assume they meant OBD3

It's mostly about surfacing the codes via a screen in the car instead of having a generic check engine light and needing an external scanner.

As far as I can tell, it was never mandated. Most posts about it are from ~2011.
