The ALDLDroid app is set to connected to the Sanmaster G bluetooth device and the correct ADX file is selected. The Android device is 'paired' to the unit (pairing code 1234). A configuration file ('ADX file') needs to be downloaded from the downloads section of this site and loaded into the Android device. This is done using the ALDLDroid app available on Google Play. In either mode, the data can be monitored and recorded using an android device connected via wireless/Bluetooth to the unit. This data can be retrieved afterwards until the engine is shut off, or another full throttle run is made.

In either mode, the Scanmaster G will store the highest knock retard and leanest Air/Fuel reading durring a full throttle run. ALDL mode is limited by the ECM's datastream which does not include wideband AFR information.ĪLDL mode is generally used by casual tuners and daily drivers. The Scanmaster can be installed and connected 2 different ways, either directly receiving 'ALDL' data from the cars ECM at about update every 1.5 seconds, or to a PowerLogger which reads data from the internal circuitry of the ECM and provides much more data at 8 - 18 updates per second (some data is slowed to make it readable). To understand these figures, corresponding to the parameters (PID), we have included a small program free of charge in our software.Some details about the Buick Scanmaster G. Understanding sets of figures in the tables The exact procedure is explained on theĮOBD-Facile software page. In exchange for this contribution, the software functions are available for free. We asked the users of our EOBD-Facile software to help create this list by returning their 'log' file of the connection to their vehicle. The tables list the support modes and their parameters. In general, the more recent your vehicle, the more diagnoses you can do on it. The second piece of useful information is the 'level' of implementation of the standard.The list can be used (if your vehicle is on it), to know in advance if you can buy an ELM interface and whether it will work with your vehicle. While the official dates for implementing the standard have been defined, manufacturers have implemented the standard more or less early.Compatible vehicles can be diagnosed using generic (multibrand) ELM327 interfaces. The tables on this page represent lists of vehicles that are compatible with the OBD standard (EOBD or OBD2 depending on the country).
