[Diy_efi] OBD2 emulation

I saw one time the flowchart used by the OBD 2 test.  Part of it is
illuminating the check engine light so you'd have to wire to it as well
as the OBD2 connector.  The short answer to your question is that it
certainly can be done, with a cheap freescale MCU that has a BDLC.  I've
not heard of anyone doing it, though, so you'd have to do it from
scratch.  There's probably a demo board in the couple hundred dollar
range from freescale or another supplier that would give you the
hardware you needed, if so you'd just have to hunt up the flowchart for
the test and write firmware to implement it.
