Editing On-board diagnostics (section)

=== Mobile device-based tools and analysis ===

Mobile device applications allow mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets to display and manipulate the OBD-II data accessed via [[USB]] adaptor cables or [[Bluetooth]] adapters plugged into the car's OBD II connector. Newer devices on the market are equipped with GPS sensors and the ability to transmit vehicle location and diagnostics data over a cellular network. Modern OBD-II devices can therefore nowadays be used to for example locate vehicles, monitor driving behavior in addition to reading Diagnostics Trouble Codes (DTC). Even more advanced devices allow users to reset engine DTC codes, effectively turning off engine lights in the dashboard; however, resetting the codes does not address the underlying issues and can in worst-case scenarios even lead to engine breakage where the source issue is serious and left unattended for long periods.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Intro to OBD-II vehicle diagnostics and GPS tracking|url=https://eu.tramigo.store/blog-guides/intro-to-obd-2-vehicle-diagnostics-and-gps-tracking/|website=OBD By Tramigo}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Driving Behaviour Identification based on OBD Speed and GPS Data Analysis|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348910319|website=Researchgate}}</ref>
