OBD reader : Data, error codes and erase error codes

The OBD reader now has the capability to read error codes and erase them after repair. It can read up to 10 error codes (I think nobody needs more than 10 error codes... unless you are a repairman. Several error codes is enough to get you to the workshop and get professional help).

One thing good is that the error codes for Proton EMS700 and ems400 is in accordance with the standard error codes. You can find the codes and what it means from the internet. This one lists the error codes
