The Kkmoon Obdii Interface is a versatile diagnostic tool compatible with a wide range of vehicles. This guide explores its features, compatibility, and how to use it effectively for troubleshooting and vehicle monitoring.
Understanding the KKMOON OBDII Interface
The KKMOON OBDII interface allows you to connect your smartphone, PC, or iOS device (requires jailbreaking for iOS) to your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system. This connection enables you to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), monitor various vehicle parameters in real-time, and turn off the “Check Engine” light (MIL). The included CD provides software for various platforms, making it a versatile tool for both DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics. The device communicates with vehicles using standard OBDII protocols including: ISO 9141, ISO 11898 (CAN), ISO 14230 (KWP2000), ISO 15765 (CAN), and SAE J1939.
Compatibility and Supported Parameters
The KKMOON OBDII interface works with all OBD-II compliant vehicles, including most cars and light trucks sold in the United States from 1996 to 2010. Some 1994 and 1995 models may also be compatible. To verify compatibility, check for a “VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION” sticker under the hood.
This interface can read a variety of vehicle parameters, including:
- Vehicle Speed
- RPM
- Fuel Consumption*
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Fuel Pressure
- Calculated Engine Load
- Throttle Position
- Intake Manifold Pressure
- Air Intake Temperature
- Timing Advance
- Mass Air Flow
- Fuel Level
- Barometric Pressure
- EVAP System Vapor Pressure
- Fuel Trim
*Note: Parameter support varies depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
Software and Usage
The included CD contains freeware for configuring and testing the KKMOON OBDII interface. For more advanced features and data analysis, commercial software options like Dynolicious are available on the Apple App Store. Connect the interface to your vehicle’s OBDII port, typically located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. Then, establish a Wi-Fi connection with your device using the provided SSID and password. Launch the software and begin monitoring your vehicle’s data.
