Step 2: Connect the ELM327 to Your PC
The next step is to connect the ELM327 device to your PC using the USB cable. Make sure your PC is turned on and has an internet connection. Windows will detect the device and try to install the drivers automatically. However, this may not work for some versions of Windows or some clones of ELM327. If you see a message that says \"Device driver software was not successfully installed\", you need to install the drivers manually.
Step 3: Install the Drivers Manually
To install the drivers manually, you need to open the Device Manager on your PC. You can do this by typing \"device manager\" in the search box on the taskbar and clicking on the result. Alternatively, you can press Windows + X keys and select Device Manager from the menu.
In the Device Manager, look for a device that has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. This indicates that there is a problem with the device or its driver. The device may be labeled as \"Unknown Device\", \"USB Serial Port\", \"USB Serial Controller\", or something similar. Right-click on the device and select Update Driver Software.
In the next window, choose Browse my computer for driver software. Then click on Browse and navigate to the location of your USB flash drive where you saved the driver files. Make sure you check the box that says Include subfolders. Click Next and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation is done, you should see a message that says \"Windows has successfully updated your driver software\". You can close the Device Manager and remove your USB flash drive.
Step 4: Test Your ELM327 Device
The final step is to test your ELM327 device and make sure it works properly. You will need an OBD software that can communicate with your car's computer using the ELM327 protocol. There are many OBD software available online, both free and paid. Some examples are ScanMaster-ELM, OBD Auto Doctor, Torque Pro, etc.
To test your ELM327 device, launch your OBD software and connect it to your car's OBD port using the USB cable. The OBD port is usually located under the dashboard near the steering wheel. Turn on your car's ignition but do not start the engine. Your OBD software should detect your ELM327 device and establish a connection.
Once connected, you can use your OBD software to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), clear codes, view live data, perform tests, etc. You can also customize various settings of your ELM327 device using commands such as ATZ (reset), ATE0 (echo off), ATH1 (headers on), etc.
