There are cheap scanners and cheap scanners... What car? Do you want to do this remotely, because if you are in the car with the computer it seems futile...– Solar MikeCommented Jul 5, 2019 at 11:47

It is very easy to connect an OBDII scanner that talks Bluetooth to your phone. I typically do this. However if you leave it attached, it does drain the battery...
There are companies that provide "security" systems for high end cars, and these allow remote access for a range of things, however after a friend of mine demonstrated this attack, I wouldn't use one myself:
