HB1464

Hawaii HB1464 requires manufacturers to provide diagnostic and repair information to vehicle owners and independent repair facilities.

Hawaii HB1464 mandates that manufacturers of motor vehicles sold in the state make diagnostic and repair information available to vehicle owners and independent repair facilities. This includes providing access to onboard diagnostic systems and repair tools. The bill ensures that this information is offered on fair and reasonable terms, and it prohibits manufacturers from requiring dealers to purchase proprietary tools unless they offer unique functionalities. Owners and independent repair facilities can access mechanical data directly from the vehicle's onboard systems.
