Connecting Everything Up of Bluetooth OBD-II

Before opening up your OBD-II software to interact with the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter, some setup is required.  You will need to locate the OBD-II interface connector inside your vehicle that the Bluetooth OBD-II ELM327 will plug into.  In most vehicles, it is found in the driver’s side seating area under the dash.  In some vehicles, the connector may be hidden behind an access door or even in the passenger’s side seating area.

Note:  Some vehicles may require purchasing a special adapter to convert from a proprietary vehicle connector to an OBD-II compliant connector.  This may be true for older, pre-2000 BMW’s and possibly Audi’s. Also, some vehicles 1996 and older may have the OBD-II connector, but do not fully comply with the OBD-II spec.  To be sure your vehicle complies with OBD-II, look for a sticker on the vehicle under the hood in the engine compartment that clearly states “OBD II compliant or certified”.  An example of the sticker is shown below:

Once the connector is located, insert the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter into the OBD-II port.  The LEDs on the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter will light up, and then one of the LEDs will start blinking.  The blinking LED shows the Bluetooth status.  Once the adapter is paired with another Bluetooth device and the connection is opened or used, the blinking LED will then stay lit constantly.

To pair the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter with your device that will access the adapter (called the “master device” from now on), you will need to go into the Bluetooth settings of the master device and search for discoverable Bluetooth devices.  This process will vary for every operating system that supports Bluetooth.  Once the device search has begun, you will soon see a device named, “STN1110 OBD-II”.  This is the device you should select to pair with.  Initiate the pairing, and then enter the PIN number of “1234” when asked to enter a PIN.  The master device will then be paired with the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter.

In Windows XP, an additional step may be required (depends on third-party Bluetooth adapter software) to get a virtual serial port to be added to the system.  You may have to query the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter to see what services it offers, and then connect to the “serial port” provided by the adapter.  A similar action may need to be taken on PocketPC (Windows CE or Mobile) devices.

Windows 7 and Android will do all of this automatically. PalmOS and Blackberry devices will probably be automatic as well.

On Windows systems (master device), you will need to find the serial port number (COM port number) that the Bluetooth OBD-II adapter added to the system.  On most systems, this will be either the only available COM port or the only COM port number greater than 4 (COM6 for instance).  It will not be necessary to determine serial port number or anything of that on other systems.

KWA-300 3D Wheel Aligner Parameter

Definition
KWA-300 3D Wheel Aligner is a precision measurement instrument designed to measure the wheel alignment parameters and compare them with the specifications  provided by vehicle manufacturer. It also gives instructions to the user for performing corresponding adjustments so as to get the best steering performance and reduce tire wear.

When Is Required Wheel Alignment
- The driver must firmly hold the steering wheel to maintain a straight-ahead driving.
- Abnormal wear of tires occurred, such as single side wear, concave-convexity wear and featheriness wear.
- Too heavy or too light steering, or shaking at high-speed driving.
- When the tire(s), steering joint or shock absorber are replaced.
- When the vehicle is impacted.
- When the vehicle has driven for the first 3000km or 10000km.

Main Vehicle Alignment Parameter
The wheel alignment mainly consists of camber, caster, toe-in, kingpin inclination, toe-out on turns, wheelbase difference, tread difference, etc. They are  designed mainly to improve the steering performance and driving stability of the vehicle, and reduce tire wear.

Toe-in and Toe-out
The toe setting is the amount by which the front or rear wheels point inwards or outwards at the front of the wheel in relation to each other (see Fig.1.1).

Fig.1.1

When the wheels point inwards they are said to toe-in. Toe-in figures are given a positive value.
Conversely when the wheels point outwards they are said to be toe-out and the figures are shown as a negative value.

The purpose of correct toe is to ensure that the wheels run parallel when the vehicle is driving. An incorrect toe setting may affect the stability and  controllability of the vehicle.

Camber
Camber is the leaning of the  KWA-300 Wheel Aligner inwards or outwards from the vertical.
If the road wheel leans outwards from the vertical, it is said to have positive camber and when leaning inwards from the vertical – negative camber, looking from the front or rear of the vehicle. See Fig.1.2.

Fig.1.2
Camber is measured in degrees.
