The security hole in sudo

I'll let you all get back to topic at hand. I have to say thanks though. I never imagined getting so much helpful info. The super ability I seek seems like it would be in a less secure area because even cheap hardware store tools can do it. I am trying to remove, relocate, or hide fault codes without resetting the emissions monitors. That way as a hush hush marketing ploy of my business I can truly "guarantee to pass" and depending on the solution possibly guarantee to never fail again.

I hit an idea slump in my normal utility making and decided to put my otherwise wasted time to use.

Thanks Again ~

Of all the car I worked on (mostly Mitsubishi and Ssangyong) very few of them had non-standard procedures for erasing DTCs.

I don't know what you mean by 'erasing the emission monitor', unless you mean the freeze frame, which usually gets erased when you erase DTCs with the standard 0x14 request.

Anyway I work exactly as you do, by reverse-engineering official tools.

And I'm not very knowledgeable about cars anyway :)
