Bluetooth connected car diagnostic tool

 Firstly, let's explain in detail what OBD stands for - OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and OBD2 refers to the second generation of on-board diagnostic systems.

OBD or On-Board Diagnostics is the system in the car that controls and monitors all the important control devices that can be accessed by providing data through the appropriate hardware and software.

A key part of code readers is its ability to notify the reader of any error codes or abnormal behaviour regarding their vehicle. These errors are called diagnostic fault codes.

Usually, when the system detects an error, it stores the necessary error codes in memory and illuminates a warning sign on the vehicle's dashboard. This is usually what happens when the annoying check engine light comes on. In 1994, CARB mandated that all new motor vehicles be equipped with the newly developed version A standardised interface was used, allowing one obd2 scanner diagnostic tool to be used by different vehicle manufacturers.

OBD2 was introduced into Europe in 2000, this stipulates that car code errors must be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard and an error code recorded by the vehicle. Since 2001 it has been a legal requirement for all vehicles with Otto engines (petrol/gas engines) to carry an OBD2 interface. Diesel vehicles have been subject to these regulations since 2004. In this way, not only are the emission regulations monitored, but the entire exhaust of the vehicle during its use will be within its purview.

The new standard makes life easier for service centres and car enthusiasts alike. Find the OBD-II port and connect your wireless scanner to it. Your car's ignition switch must be set to the "ON" position, but you don't have to start the engine. Then, use Bluetooth to pair the bidirectional scan tool with your phone and open the scanner's mobile app on your phone.

When using it for the first time, you will usually need vehicle data such as make, model and year of manufacture.

Once you are ready to set up, you can start using all the functions offered by the code scanner. Some readers offer only basic functions such as reading engine related fault codes, displaying only the definition of each code. Other readers offer advanced functions such as diagnostics for all systems, real-time parameters, car coding, DIY maintenance and much more! To diagnose your vehicle, the scan tool must first read the error memory of your car. Afterwards, the scan tool accesses the vehicle control unit and analyses the data. Most of the data may not be relevant, but the system will usually scan all of it.

Once the ancel v6 Plus+ is complete, the scan tool will generate a list of error codes that currently affect the vehicle. Some error codes may be unclear, in which case you may still need to visit a garage.
