Description:
The Elm327 interface version 1.5 is the latest in
tools for scanning the performance
of the car. It supports OBD-II protocols, works
with various freeware and/or paid programs
compatible with this device. The chip or
the internal processor it comes with is the ELM327,
manufactured by ELM Electronic Canada, connects
to the PC or Notebook via connection cable
USB.
Until a few years ago (before 1996), not
there was a system that unified the
partelectronicsof all the manufacturers of
automobiles. Each had its own systems more or
less elaborate, there were also no regulations
that required some electronic systems of
control. That is no longer the case; since 1996, everyone

In Europe since the year 2000, EOBD is mandatory.
II, a variant of OBD II that also implements
the CAN BUS communication protocol.
Although initially OBD II and EOBD II are standards
to control the levels of pollution of the
vehicles, their performance extends beyond
from their initial proposals. Through the
OBD II connectors can be used for diagnosis.

There are exceptions to these rules, but the majority
most applies. There are also many vehicles
Europeans, for example, who were prior to 2000
it helps them as well. The main rule is that the
vehicle must be compatible with OBD-II (note it's not enough
as long as it has a similar connector, make sure
that it is OBD-II).

Check that your vehicle has the connector in the shape
appropriate.
ATTENTION:
That a vehicle has a connector with this
shape (or similar) is not a guarantee that it is OBD-
II.
As confirmed by the regulation, it is the vehicle, look for
under the hood the control sticker of
emissions like the following:
THE IDENTIFICATION STICKER IS THE
UNIQUE TOTAL GUARANTEE THAT THE
THE VEHICLE HAS AN OBD-II SYSTEM. If not
find, you can consult the user manual
from the car or call the dealer to ask,
although they sometimes do not know the difference
between OBD and OBD-II.
Advantages
1. More Powerful: By making use of resources
Notebook, the scanning is much more powerful now.
that you can deploy a much more detailed analysis
complete and sophisticated. You can create graphs,
save the results, compare them with results
past, print them, etc.
2. Greater Compatibility: It will give the amount of
software available for free and that
constantly increases and is updated, this
the scanning system is absolutely universal,
compatible with any vehicle with system
OBDII, whatever its communication protocol may be.
3. Current: You will be able to install the latest software
to keep your scanner system up to date
with the latest software improvements.
4. For vehicles equipped with OBD2 connection (to
starting from 1996, and some between 1994/1995).
5. Compatible with CAN protocol
6. Measure in real time
7. Improve the service offered in your workshop.
8. Use your PC to diagnose vehicles without
to derive or spend a peso in other workshops.
9. Connection to the PC via USB port.
10. New improved firmware version 1.5a.
11. Possibility of using different software, or
update these.
Low cost.
13. Depending on the software used, it will be possible
read and delete specific fault codes or
generics, clear the check engine, view values in
I live from sensors, with configurable graphics and
more functions
14. Far superior to handheld scanners
