What is the scope of OBD Lens?

OBD-II and enhanced manufacturer references.

Where are generic OBD2 definitions?

The knowledge search provides a generic OBD2 namespace filter.

Does a reference family prove applicability?

Reference-family membership is not proof that a code applies to every listed ECU or vehicle. Runtime-ready definitions are not physical-vehicle validation. Unavailable readings must not be treated as zero. App and hardware sale availability must be checked separately.
