Default OBD II Question

On my C4 I could jumper two of the terminals on the OBD terminal and the check engine light would blink in code giving me the codes stored. The C5 of cause had the codes displayed on the DIC. I know that the C6 does not display codes on the DIC but, can one jumper terminals or do otherwise to have the codes blink out in code like my old C4? I do have an OBD reader. I was just curious.

No. OBDII is not capable of that.

OBDII codes are alpha/numeric. Example P0301-which is a cylinder 1 misfire.

The P stands for a code that is powertrain related.

B codes are body related.

C code are chassis related.

U codes are module communication codes.
