On-board diagnostics
On-board diagnostics (OBD) is an automotive term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or repair technician access to the status of the various vehicle subsystems. The amount of diagnostic information available via OBD has varied widely since its introduction in the early 1980s versions of on-board vehicle computers. Early versions of OBD would simply illuminate a malfunction indicator light or "idiot light" if a problem was detected but would not provide any information as to the nature of the problem. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized digital communications port to provide real-time data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.

Phobic
by: PlumbI watched you sit alone
I watched you cry your eyes out
Now tell me what you've done
Is it so bad that
I would shut you out
And leave you here alone
Yes, i saw what you did
I was right there with you
I won't let you sink
No, i forgive you
Phobic
Don't be
Grace needs a little more freedom
Phobic
Don't be
Love needs room to breathe
I have watched you grow
And i've stood in your shadow
I've never walked away
I hung the stars and
I hold your heart
So, don't ever be afraid
Yes, i know when you breathe
And i feel when you need
I won't let you sink
No, i forgive you
You can be healed
You can be free
You can know peace
Never be afraid again
Never be afraid
Never be afraid
