3.3. 무선 연결
Depending on your iCar3 model (Bluetooth or WiFi), follow the respective connection steps:
For Bluetooth Models:
- 블루투스 활성화: On your Android device, go to Settings > Bluetooth and ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
- 페어링 장치: Scan for available devices. The scanner should appear as 'Vgate' or 'OBDII'. Select it to pair. The default pairing code is usually '1234' or '0000'.
- Configure App: Open your chosen OBD2 application. Go to its settings and select 'Bluetooth' as the connection type, then choose the paired 'Vgate' or 'OBDII' device.
For WiFi Models:
- WiFi 활성화: On your Android device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and ensure Wi-Fi is enabled.
- 네트워크에 연결: Scan for available Wi-Fi networks. The scanner will broadcast a network named 'V-LINK', 'OBDII', or similar. Connect to this network. No password is typically required.
- Configure App: Open your chosen OBD2 application. Go to its settings and select 'Wi-Fi' as the connection type. Ensure the correct IP address (usually 192.168.0.10 or 192.168.0.11) and port (usually 35000) are configured.
4. 사용 설명서
Once the Vgate iCar3 is connected to your vehicle and paired with your Android device and OBD2 application, you can begin diagnostics.
- Start the Application: Launch your chosen OBD2 diagnostic application on your Android device.
- 연결 설정: The application should automatically attempt to connect to the iCar3 scanner. Confirm that the connection status in the app indicates a successful link.
- 진단 문제 코드(DTC)를 읽으십시오: Navigate to the 'Read Codes' or 'DTCs' section of your application. This will display any active or pending fault codes stored in your vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU).
- DTC 지우기: If necessary, and after addressing the underlying issue, you can use the 'Clear Codes' function in the app to turn off the Check Engine Light (CEL). 경고: Do not clear codes without understanding and fixing the problem, as this can mask serious issues.
- View 라이브 데이터 : Access the 'Live Data' or 'Dashboard' section to monitor various vehicle parameters in real-time, such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, coolant temperature, fuel system status, and more.
- Perform Sensor Tests: Some applications allow you to perform specific sensor tests or view freeze frame data, which captures vehicle conditions at the moment a DTC was set.
5. 유지관리
