VCS interface functions:
Read & Clear Diagnostics Fault Codes
VCS easily read & clear vehicle specific information – manufacturer specific codes, factory codes, and generic fault codes on a particular electrical circuit. Our advice: don’t forget to print it out in real time.

Quick Test & Quick Delete (select software)
The Quick Test feature allows you to quickly scan all systems in the vehicle, identify controllers with faults and provides immediate access to those systems without having to navigate through multiple menus. Our advice: Don’t forget to print it out in real time.

Read Live Data
Fault codes & live data is the basics of electronic diagnostics. Experience high-speed response rate of 8-10 frames per second w/ real-time troubleshooting of up to 4 graphs. Diagnose signals for rich or lean conditions with live data retrieval and viewing of modules in digital and analog format. Our advice: Don’t forget to print it out in real time.

Component & System level actuations test
Perform verification tests to validate the functionality of a particular electrical circuit. This function will bypass time-consuming labor to check the workmanship of electronic components such as switches, sensors, relays, & actuators. Use the VCS to actuate control modules and see what needs replacement without removing panels and testing without the usage of a multimeter. (e.g. cylinder power balance test, EVAP system leak, EGR valve, solenoids, power windows, winshield wiper activation, etc.)

VCS interface Special Functions:

Service Resets & Initialization:
When components (e.g. injectors, switches, mass air flow sensor, cooling temp sensor, etc.) are replaced within a module, a vehicle will run very rough. Initialization immediately re-adapts all the values, so the components will be recognized by the vehicle system. (e.g. To reset the service indicator for the vehicle such as “oil service”, “service reminder light”, “steering angle sensor*”, etc.)

Vehicle Adjustment:
Vehicle Communication Scanner VCS is able to adjust performance parameters. (e.g. idle RPM, idle speed adjustment, ignition timing, vehicle w/ immobilizer, set fuel synchronization, throttle-body relearn, DME Alignment, etc.)

OBD2 scanners communication ways: USB, RS232, Bluetooth and Wifi

In the following parts, I conclude four OBD2 diagnostic scanner communication ways: Via COM port, serial port, Bluetooth, WIFI.

OBD2 diagnostic scanners connect to PC via USB(COM port)

USB OBD2 diagnostic scanners allows you to use your PC and a hardware interface to get the information from your car’s computer, instead of show the test result directly on the interface screen, like stand-alone code scanners. These tools usually are very professional and works with one or more car models, they support reading fault codes, clear fault codes, read data live, etc.

OBD2 scanners connect to PC via RS232 (Serial Port)

In the list of our supplied OBD diagnostic scanners, some ones are connected to PC via RS232 (serial port). These tools includes: Honda HDS, Mercedes Benz star C3, star C4, Nissan Consult Diagnostic Interface, SBB key programmer, MC68HC05 Motorola 705 Programmer, Motorola 705 Programmer, MC68HC08 908 Motorola Programmer and more.  These tools contain professional diagnostic tools, car key programmer, ECU programmer, and more. No matter what the function they own, they works via serial port.
Want to learn more tools which is RS232 serial communication and knows how they work, browse http://www.uobd2.com/ or contact mail:Chinauobd2@gmail.com

OBD scanner communicate with computer via Bluetooth

We all know the pc-based OBD scan tools are working by USB cable that is connected computer to diagnostic interface, also part of OBD2 diagnostic tools are communicated by Bluetooth, take VAS5054 for example, VAS 5054A is a universal diagnostic interface for the vehicles of the Volkswagen Group and all OBD vehicle systems from other manufacturers. The integrated Bluetooth interface connects the vehicle with a notebook, desktop PC or test system. No cables are needed for vehicle diagnostics using the VAS 5054A. The range of the wireless Bluetooth connection is 5 to 10 meters, depending on the environment and the type of Bluetooth adapter used on the PC side. The Serial Port Profile (SPP) is used for data transfer via Bluetooth. Different Bluetooth security levels are supported.

Besides, we also have other Bluetooth OBD scanners, such as: ELM327 Bluetooth, Nissan Consult 3, Launch X431 Tool and Launch X431 Diagun.

OBD scanner works via WIFI
Today we introduce a new OBD2 scan tool, which is working by WIFI communication. This tool is WIFI327 WIFI USB OBD2 EOBD Scan Tool; WIFI327 OBD2 scanner is the latest PC-based scan tool. It supports all OBD-II protocols and is dispatched with a number of compatible programs. The output protocol (connection to laptop) is USB cable, it adds the new communication way: WIFI, the range of WIFI is more than 20m, and works much stable compared with Bluetooth communication.

V-Checker A302/A303 Multi-Function Trip Computer FAQ

Q: What is the application car model of the trip computer V-CHECKER A302 and V-CHECKER A303?
A: V-CHECKER A302/A303 is for the VAG, Skoda, Audi models. For example, the model V-CHECKER A302 support: Sagitar, Touran, Audi, Golf, Octavia, Magotan, Scirocco, Caddy. A303 Supported models: Polo, Golf, Passat, Bora and more.
Q: Why the driving speed displayed on the computer is lower than the car dashboard displays?
A: Almost all of the car speed displayed on the meter is not accurate, mainly at the security depot, design, 2-5% higher than the actual speed, that is someone on the freeway 140Km / h, says has not been photographed speeding, in fact, the real speed at this time is 120Km / h.
Q: Why is getting slower and slower speed but the instantaneous fuel consumption per hundred kilometers are getting higher and higher?
A: When the car is in neutral sliding, the oil consumption is not 0 as everyone thought, Look at the formula: = instantaneous fuel consumption per hundred kilometers (100 * Cumulative injection volume) / (speed * time). This time, less fuel injection engine, low speed , need to take more time if travel 100Km, when the speed is very low, the time is almost infinite. According to the formula, this time the instantaneous fuel consumption per hundred kilometers shown to be growing. Note: The instantaneous fuel consumption per hundred kilometers! = fuel injection quantity ah!

Q: Does the trip computer A301/A303 need to be upgraded, how to upgrade?
A: Generally speaking, if A301 using the normal, we do not recommend vehicle owners to upgrade, of course, we have been upgrading and improving the features of the A301 continuously. Owners can contact your local dealer to upgrade.
Q: Why setted the reminder function of shift, when the speed reaches a setted value, trip computer do not remind.
A: The shift to remind does not work under the cruise mode, only in the competitive mode will remind you.
Q: Where is the car’s OBD diagnostic interface.
A: The location of the diagnostic interface principles: take the driver as the center, radius of 0.5 meters, the driver’s reach out and touch range. The specific location of OBD diagnostic interface, there is no uniform standard. Usually under the steering wheel, at the top of brake pedal. If you still can not find the diagnostic interface, please contact your local 4S shop of the model.
Q: How to set fuel consumption factor?
A: The fuel factor is used to adjust the “instantaneous fuel consumption, the current default: 331, the coefficient is based on a complex formula and experience in numerous tests of the car. Does not advise clients to change. If the vehicle was modified or age of the vehicle too old, causing the vehicle sensor aging, drift. Customers can adjust according to their proportion of the actual situation of the vehicle. Such as: fuel consumption factor = 331 +331 * 10% = 364, the instantaneous fuel consumption is increased by 10% on the original basis.
Q: Is there any way to test V-CHECKER A302/A303 reading car fault code safely?
A: You can open your car hood, disconnect the oxygen sensor or throttle position sensor like the plug. Start the car, usually over 4-5 seconds, the engine fault light comes on, V-CHECKER A302/A303 will alarm when you open the key. And precisely shows the problem.

Q: When using the trip computer, open the key to driving sometimes the computer does not start automatically, lights flashing alternately.
A: This is because the car battery voltage is too low, trip computer into hibernation in order to protect the battery. At this point press any button to start. You can also start the car, when the voltage rise it will starts automatically.
Q: V-CHECKER A302/A303 how to display real-time fuel consumption?
A: Switch to the competitive mode, as shown in the middle of the first line of real-time fuel consumption,if you want to see instant fuel consumption, can set competitive mode to travel mode.
Q: V-CHECKER A302/A303 crash into the competitive mode, restart.
A: Upgrade to V3.24 or newest version.
Q: The outside temperature has been shown as 0. .
A: Some models (such as some of the old section Passet 2.0 model) is not configured outside temperature sensor, trip computer can not read.
Q: How do I change car settings? How to restore factory settings?
A: First tune out the hidden menu, and in the hidden menu, select [Select Model] or [Restore Factory Settings]. Bring up hidden menus.
