An open-source harness lets AI agents read vehicle error codes and sensor data through an OBD-II adapter, or practice with a built-in virtual car.

Worth noticing
The virtual-car controls list six scenarios, including P0420, a misfire, a dying battery, cleared codes, and a healthy car.

Field notes

The example workflow exposes more than a fault-code lookup: it shows live sensor values, freeze-frame context, and a comparison between the two oxygen sensors. The homepage also lists simulator commands for faults such as P0171 and P0300, alongside cleared-code and healthy-car states. Some ECU and motorsport features are marked as forthcoming rather than available now.
