39027.3
. (a) "Bidirectional control" means the capability of a
diagnostic tool to send messages on the data (bus) that temporarily
overrides the module's control over a sensor or actuator and gives
control to the diagnostic tool operator. Bidirectional controls do
not create permanent changes to engine or component calibrations.
(b) "Covered person" means any person engaged in the business of
service or repair of motor vehicles who is licensed or registered
with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, pursuant to Section 9884.6 of
the Business and Professions Code, to conduct that business, or who
is engaged in the manufacture or remanufacture of emissions-related
motor vehicle parts for those motor vehicles.
(c) "Data stream information" means information that originates
within the vehicle by a module or intelligent sensors including, but
not limited to, a sensor that contains and is controlled by its own
module and transmitted between a network of modules and intelligent
sensors connected in parallel with either one or two communication
wires. The information is broadcast over communication wires for use
by other modules such as chassis or transmissions to conduct normal
vehicle operation or for use by diagnostic tools. Data stream
information does not include engine calibration-related information.
(d) "Emissions-related motor vehicle information" means
information regarding any of the following:
(1) Any original equipment system, component, or part that
controls emissions.
(2) Any original equipment system, component, or part associated
with the powertrain system including, but not limited to, the fuel
system and ignition system.

impact emissions, including, but not limited to, the transmission
system.
(e) "Emissions-related motor vehicle part" means any direct
replacement automotive part or any automotive part certified by
executive order of the state board that may affect emissions from a
motor vehicle, including replacement parts, consolidated parts,
rebuilt parts, remanufactured parts, add-on parts, modified parts,
and specialty parts.
(f) "Enhanced data stream information" means data stream
information that is specific for an original equipment manufacturer's
brand of tools and equipment.
(g) "Enhanced diagnostic tool" means a diagnostic tool that is
specific to the original equipment manufacturer's vehicles.
