Question from the forum “Behind the wheel” – we answer them from time to time.
– What can the Chinese “box” ELM327 do, other than reading and clearing motor errors?
– ELM327 is a microcircuit built into a connector device that works via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or even a USB cable between the car’s electronic components and a smartphone or laptop.
The set of functions depends on which program the user is using and which machine he has.
Many specialized programs allow you to control not only the engine, but also the operation of the automatic transmission or variator. Some help set up onboard comfort systems, lighting, windshield wipers, and so on.
It all depends on the saturation of the car with electronics and the “openness” to tuning via the OBD-II connector.
ELM327 adapters also come with different firmware – the most popular (1.5) usually allows wider interaction with the car’s electronics.
