Getting Started: Simple Setup Guide

Unlocking your car’s diagnostic data with the KOBRA Wireless OBD2 Car Code Reader Scan Tool OBD Scanner is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get connected and start diagnosing:

Preparation: Ensure your vehicle’s ignition is turned off before beginning the setup process.
Connect the Scanner: Locate your vehicle’s OBD2 port and firmly plug in the Kobra™ OBD Scanner.
Ignition ON: Turn your vehicle’s ignition to the “ON” position (one step before starting the engine).
Wi-Fi Connection: On your smartphone or tablet, navigate to “Settings” and then “Wi-Fi”. Enable Wi-Fi and connect to the network named “WiFi_OBDII”.

Note: If your chosen OBD app doesn’t immediately detect the “WiFi_OBDII” connection, force quit the app and relaunch it. On Android devices, use the “Task Manager” to force quit. On iOS devices, double-press the home button and swipe up to close the app.*
Launch Your OBD App: Open your preferred OBD app.
Automatic or Manual Connection: Some apps will automatically detect and connect to the scanner. Others may require manual configuration within the app settings to specify a Wi-Fi OBD scanner connection.
Configure App Settings (If Necessary): If manual configuration is needed, access the app’s settings menu and look for connection or adapter settings.
- Connection Type: Set the connection type to “WIFI”.
- Device Selection: Choose the OBD2 device option.
Restart App: After adjusting the settings, force close and relaunch the OBD app to ensure the new settings are applied.

Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues

Encountering connection problems? Here are some common issues and quick solutions to get you back on track:

Issue: Device connected to Wi-Fi, but OBD app not recognizing the scanner.
- Solution: Turn off Wi-Fi on your device, disconnect the OBD scanner from the car, force quit the app, relaunch the app, reconnect to Wi-Fi, and try connecting again.
Issue: OBD2 scanner showing no power (no lights).
- Solution: Detach and re-attach the adapter, ensuring it’s firmly plugged in. If the issue persists, check your vehicle’s OBD fuse and replace it if necessary.
Issue: Phone and app connected to the scanner, but unable to connect to the ECU.
- Solution: Turn off Wi-Fi, force close the app, disconnect and reconnect the scanner to your car (wait for the red light), reconnect Wi-Fi, and relaunch the app.
Issue: “Check Engine” light won’t clear or returns immediately.
- Solution: Try clearing codes in ACC mode (second ignition position). Remember that clearing the code doesn’t fix the underlying problem; it will likely reappear if the issue persists.
Issue: “Check Engine” and fault codes on the dash, but the scanner can’t read them.
- Solution: While the Kobra Scanner is highly compatible, some vehicles might require more specialized diagnostic equipment.
Issue: App detects the scanner, but still not connecting to the car.
- Solution: Verify your vehicle is OBD2 compliant. Vehicles manufactured/imported after January 1, 1996, are generally OBD2 compliant. For non-OBD2 compliant vehicles, professional mechanic scanners may be required.
