Hi,
I'm sorry if my question is confusing. I gather that OBD-II
communication is bi-directional. I'm referring the
"bi-directional" in the way that at least one of the commericial
scanner companies do: For example, Autoxray explains in their FAQ
that their scanners are not capable of getting bidirectional data:
http://www.autoxray.com/footer/faq.aspx 5th question from the top

What they seem to mean is the ability to query a particular sensor and
then get readings from it.. I have found that most of the software can
read oxygen sensors, but most cannot read the pressure control
solenoid that I mentioned.

I guess I am asking the ability to read various non O2 sensors.
