Doubt it.

These things generally "trick" the computer into thinking conditions are not what they really are. They change readings for things such as air temp, fuel flow, O2 readings, etc. So, things could be bad (on these cheap eBay units) and the computer will never know, and never throw a code.

OBD and OBDII are just standards, btw, not components.

My check engine light has been on for about 2 years now. About once a week I pop the hood and check the engine. Yep its still there.
