This little box will allow you to interface via Bluetooth ODB2 the present decision in vehicles (those built after 2001 for petrol and for diesel after 2004) all details concerning the engine and onboard car electronics.
Depending on the vehicle type and the application used the OBD2 analyzer provides access to different values such as coolant temperature, injection time, behavior at ignition, air flow, the position of throttle, the state of the battery, the operation of the catalytic converter, the characteristics of the exhaust gas, the state of the reservoir, etc.
The housing is provided without documentation, but this is not really a problem. Before you begin, you need a compatible software with your mobile. A simple Google search with: "ELM327 Bluetooth torque android" will give you a list. Some are free, others are paying .. the choice is yours. For my part I use "Torque Lite (OBD2 & Car)", which is free.
- Start the vehicle.
- Connect the housing to the ODB2 outlet in your vehicle (to find out where the socket is located to see the maintenance manual of the vehicle or if a simple Google search will give you the location).
- Turn on Bluetooth on your Android if it is not already.
- Start the application on the mobile and follow the instructions (the first time it will apparairer Bluetooth housing with that of the mobile)
That's it ... depending on your vehicle, you will have more or less information.
In front of the housing, there are LED:
Power (red LED): Indicates that the interface is powered.
OBD Tx (yellow LED): Flashes when data is sent from the interface to the vehicle.
OBD Rx (green LED): Flashes when data is sent from the vehicle to the interface.
Tx USB (yellow LED): Flashes when data is sent from the PC to the interface.
Rx USB (green LED): Flashes when data is sent from the PC to the interface.
FYI, the enclosure supports all current protocols: ISO15765-4 (CAN) ISO14230-4 (KWP2000) ISO9141-2, J1850 VPW, J1850 PWM
