All you need is an Android Phone and this:
\n\"ODB
\nBAFX brand Bluetooth ODB II Reader – ELM3127 based<\/a> for $23 (or less). Oddly they sell a different module for IOS, but I don’t really know why.<\/p>\n

The ELM3127 seems to be most compatible, and I downloaded a few different apps to try. The two I’ve settled on were “Torque Lite” and “Obd Harry”. Both were able to simply read the fault codes and clear them.<\/strong>\u00a0The code came up as “P0440 Evap” which relates to being able to pressurize the fuel system properly.<\/p>\n

This may come as a simple post, but it was very effective, and she was glad she didn’t have to deal with a mechanic or pay to fix her car. In fact it took longer to write about than it took to do. Happy driving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
