I don’t visit the R forum so won’t click on the link but will guess it’s the Brocky method which was discussed much on here previously.
It takes less than 3 seconds at the start of each ignition cycle so hardly worth investing cash into to switch it out permanently. A different story if you already own the OBD11 gear so effectively free.
