Viecar VP001 | ELM327 Interface (Bluetooth 4.0)

The Viecar VP001 is an ELM327 interface that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE). This compact adapter plugs into the OBD2 port of a vehicle, enabling communication with a smartphone, tablet, or computer for vehicle diagnostics.

This interface enables reading diagnostic data from the vehicle. Users can, among other things, read and clear fault codes (DTCs), view real-time sensor data, and check the I/M readiness status. The Viecar VP001 also supports functions such as "freeze frame" data, O2 sensor monitor tests, and display of vehicle information like the VIN.

Application and functionality:

The Viecar VP001 ELM327 interface is primarily intended for performing basic diagnostics on vehicles. The adapter provides access to vehicle information and helps identify potential issues via the OBD2 standard.

• Fault Code Management: Reads and clears generic and manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and turns off the "Check Engine" light.
• Live Data: Displays real-time data from various sensors, such as engine speed, vehicle speed, fuel system status, coolant temperature, and intake air temperature.
• I/M Readiness: Checks the status of emission-related monitor systems, which is useful for MOT inspections.
• Freeze Frame Data: Captures a snapshot of sensor data at the moment a fault code is stored, which helps with diagnosis.
• O2 Sensor Monitor Test: Provides the ability to view the results of the O2 sensor monitor test.
• Vehicle Information: Retrieves vehicle information such as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), calibration IDs, and calibration verification numbers.
