If there is connection with the adapter we should receive an answer: ELM 327 v1.3a > or something similar, depending on the controller been user and adapter software version. ATZ — is preset command and restarts the adapter.
- The next command we may use is the command of protocol set up. Let’s enter ATSP0, as an answer we should receive: ATSP0 OK >. ATSP0 is a special command which sets automatic mode of the protocol identification by the adapter.
For direct connection and search we should enter OBD-II command. For example, let’s send 0100 (command which is decoded as MODE 01, PID 00), if everything goes right we should get the answer: 0100 Searching…
