The ELM323 OBDII Interface, allows you to talk to your ISO 9141-2 or ISO 14230-4 standard OBDII equipped vehicle using an RS232 serial connection. It transparently converts between a 10.4KHz ISO data stream and standard ASCII characters, allowing trouble codes and operating parameters to be easily retrieved without the need for special software. No knowledge of data formatting, error checking, bus initiation etc. is needed either, as the ELM323 handles all of it for you.
The present version of the ELM323 (v2.0) provides several programmable features that the previous versions did not offer. It now allows programmable header bytes, adjustable timeouts, the ability to report in the packed data mode, and offers a special monitoring mode as well. This is in addition to all of the capabilities that the v1.x
ICs offered - the full seven byte command structure, two line (K and L) initiation.
Features:
- Heavy & robust casing for rough service use
- Connects to PC via RS232
- Working for ISO9141-2 and ISO14230-4 protocol over ELM323 Interpreter MCU
- Cable is based on certified ISO9141 Bus Transceivers and RS232 level shifters
- Bi-colour led for each K-line which shows the current logic status
- Powered from car battery over OBD2 connector
Main Function:
- Read DTC
