ScanMaster ELM
Used frequently as a scanner tool to evaluate codes from automobiles
Scanmaster ELM & mdash; is a computer diagnostic program that can display information about the status of all vehicle systems. It requires a laptop or desktop computer, an ELM327 module and a car that supports OBD-II / EOBD.
Most modern vehicles such as Audi, Opel, Ford, Mazda, Hyundai and others can transmit vehicle condition data, self-diagnostic results and possible errors through a special On-board diagnostics (OBDII) port. The data is transmitted in a special format that can be decoded by the ELM327 module. Scanmaster ELM can work with this module and display a lot of different information about the vehicle on the computer screen.
Depending on the make of the machine, the amount of information displayed may vary greatly. Basically it is a decoding of error codes, also it can be the data on engine work, fuel consumption, average speed of movement, position of a throttle valve, temperature of a cooling liquid and many other things. In addition, you can use the program to fix the problem with the Check Engine indicator on the dashboard and reset the error counter. The Scanmaster ELM also has a virtual dashboard with real-time speed sensors, tachometer, voltmeter, fuel level indicator and others.
ScanMaster ELM allows users to conveniently diagnose and troubleshoot vehicle systems, enhancing maintenance efficiency and vehicle lifespan.
