I've ripped apart a bunch of car adapters for phones and just USB power and they're all essentially the same device. Some have a pilot LED, some have fuses, some are rated 12-24V in, but everything else is the same, and also circles a 8 pin chip.

The levels are all read from the sensors via the OBD-II port, at least in California.

No steering wheel motion, no compass variation, no accelerometer (if fitted), no... you name it, I'm sure there's a long list of candidates.

YOu're overthinking it. It's about driveability If the rear wheels ain't turning, you should turn on the emission controls. When the car is stopped in traffic, might as well make it clean. Performance isn't an issue when stopped. I'd have taken it a step further and made it clean whenever driveability isn't compromised...like when not accelerating at a rate faster than you could do with the emission controls functioning. Probably would never have been detected.

Hope to hear from you. Many thanks Jim
