OBDKey Fault
Code Reader Applications Android Devices OBDKey hardware works with the OBDKey Fault Code Reader application for Android (OBDKey Bluetooth only).
The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application for Android has the following features:
Engine only at
present, except for the VW Audi Group (VAG) option which may be used via
KW1281 to read engines, airbags, instrument clusters etc.
The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application can be used to read and reset fault codes of a vehicle ECU when necessary. The application is compliant with all OBD-II compliant vehicles and also supports their manufacturer specific protocols to read fault codes. Below are the list of diagnostics available with the OBDKey Fault Code Reader.
Reading fault codes from the ECU gives you a better understanding of what has caused a problem and where you might perform some remedial work. Each vehicle protocol has a different reset method. We can issue the reset using the OBD-II protocol on OBDII complaint vehicles and manufacturer protocol specific reset on vehicle we know conform to that particular protocol.
Resetting the vehicle ECU is a very useful feature that will instruct your vehicle ECU to conduct a full refresh process. Effectively, this will reset the ECU to default settings such that the ECU will re-examine the entire system it controls.
OBDKey Fault Code Reader Covers all OBD-II compliant vehicles OBDKey software works with all OBD-II compliant vehicles. This covers all petrol vehicles since 2001 and all diesel vehicles since 2004. For the USA vehicles since 1996 are OBD-II compliant.
Below are the results displayed when testing for a Subaru WRX 2002 Engine ECU using OBDII diagnostics protocol on the OBDKey Fault Code Reader.
As not all vehicles are OBD-II compliant we have added support for protocols for manufacturer specific systems, so you can try the OBDKey Fault Code Reader with your vehicles ECU. The Ford Escort petrol engine ECU from 2000 is pre OBD-II so won't supply fault codes using the OBD-II methods. But with the OBDKey Fault Code Reader application you can use the Ford (J1850) protocol instead. The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application supports both Ford J1850 and Ford CAN bus protocol methods.
The manufacturer specific protocol for the Ford car group has two different diagnostics protocol options; either Ford (J1850) or Ford (CAN bus). To identify which of the two Ford protocols is required depends on what year the car was manufactured. Vehicles that are from the year 2004 or newer tend to be compatible with CANbus whereas vehicles older vehicles are likely to be J1850 compatible. The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application supports both Ford J1850 and Ford CAN bus protocol methods.
The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application supports both the GM protocol which is a K Line variant of the KWP2000 protocol. If your Vauxhall, Opel, or Saab vehicle is pre-OBDII and not compliant with any OBD-II protocols, you can use the OBDKey Fault Code Reader to read fault codes for the vehicle with the Vauxhall(GM), Opel (GM) or Saab(GM) option.
The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application supports both the VW, Audi group (VAG) protocol which uses the K Line with either KW1281 or a variant of the KWP2000 protocol. The OBDKey Fault Code Reader application supports KW1281 with the following car makes:
When testing with these vehicles the OBDKey Fault Code Reader application also allows you to use either of the two protocols available for VAG vehicles: KW1281 or KWP2000.
The OBDKey Fault Code Reader also supports the Fiat / Alfa user specific protocols to read manufacturer specific fault codes.
The fault code reader is only provided to verified OBDKey customers. |
