Yip. And if you can query any ECU, and know what you are doing/have more information on the system, you can get higher level security access (and that information, is again, not THAT hard to find). This allows you to call functions that modify the parameters and probably restart it as well..

Precisely. It's also interesting to see what you can do with vehicles where the broadcast traffic 'leaks' out the OBD port. A lot of makes use the same ECU across models for common parts.
