Universal V1.5 | ELM327 Interface Cable (USB)

This universal ELM327 interface cable with USB connection enables communication between a vehicle and a computer via the OBD2 port. The cable features a 16-pin OBD2 connector on the vehicle side and a standard USB-A connector for connection to a computer.

The interface supports common OBD2 diagnostic functions, including reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and displaying real-time sensor data. The USB connectivity ensures stable data transfer and compatibility with various diagnostic software applications on computers.

Application and functionality:

The ELM327 interface cable is designed for performing basic vehicle diagnostics. It provides access to the diagnostic systems of OBD2-compatible vehicles.

• Read and Clear Fault Codes: Ability to read and clear both generic and manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). This helps in identifying and resolving issues.
• Live Sensor Data: Displays real-time data from various vehicle sensors, such as engine speed, vehicle speed, fuel pressure, coolant temperature, and intake manifold pressure. This data can be used for monitoring and analysis.
• Freeze Frame Data: Captures a snapshot of sensor data at the moment a fault code is triggered, providing context for diagnosis.
• I/M Readiness Status: Checks the status of the vehicle's emission-related monitoring systems, useful for emission tests.

Compatible vehicles and applications:

The interface is compatible with most vehicles that comply with the OBD2 standard. This includes gasoline engines from 2001 and diesel engines from 2004 within the EU, and most vehicles produced for the American market from 1996.

Compatible software and applications:

This interface works with various diagnostic software packages that support the ELM327 chipset.

• OBD Auto Doctor (Windows): A comprehensive diagnostic tool that enables reading fault codes, live data, and other OBD2 functions.
• ScanMaster ELM (Windows): Popular diagnostic software specifically designed for ELM327 interfaces, offering detailed insights into vehicle parameters.
• EasyObdII (Windows): Simple, user-friendly software for reading basic diagnostic data.

Compatible operating systems:

The interface is primarily designed for use with computers running the following operating systems:

• Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11.
• Android: Not directly compatible without a USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter and specific application support for USB-ELM327.
• iOS: Not directly compatible.

Supported protocols and systems:

The ELM327 interface supports the five standard OBD2 communication protocols.

• ISO9141-2: Mostly used in Asian and older European cars.
• KWP2000 (ISO14230-4): Often found in European and Asian cars.
• J1850 VPW (Variable Pulse Width): Predominantly used in General Motors (GM) cars in the US.
• J1850 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation): Specifically used in Ford cars in the US.
• CAN (Controller Area Network - ISO15765-4): The most common protocol in modern cars (from around 2004).
