Yep, and it would have saved a hell of a lot of time diagnosing the xtrail that I used to have, which refused to fault for a dealer for over three years and never stored a code. OBD data or better, Consult data, would have tracked down the faulty neutral switch quickly and easily. They usuaully limit boost on engines like that when they are in neutral. Faulty switch=occasional no power under load.
And why not have access to the data anyway? Who wants to be bound hand and foot to dealers and mechanics for the life of a car if you are techincally literate enough to diagnose and fix it yourself?
