Unfortunately this law is real. I found out the hard way when trying to rent one about 6 months ago. Basiclly i was told the real reason the law was past is because these auto part stores were renting OBDII readers for so cheap that they were taking a lot of buisness away from shops who spend upwards of $10,000 on big machines that do basiclly the same thing.

Im sure the law says something different, but this is what i heard.

Eitherway, you can spend about $50 and buy an ODBII reader that will read and delete codes.
