5. Кыйынчылыктарды

5.1 Байланыш маселелери

• Түзмөк табылган жок: Ensure the iCar Pro 2S is firmly plugged into the vehicle's OBD port and the vehicle's ignition is on. Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device/PC.
• Pairing Failure (Android/Windows): Double-check the pairing code '1234'. If issues persist, try restarting both the iCar Pro 2S (by unplugging and replugging) and your smart device/PC.
• Колдонмого туташуудагы ката: Ensure you have selected the correct Bluetooth device within your diagnostic application. Some apps may require specific settings for ELM327 devices.

5.2 Data Reading Issues

• No Data/Incomplete Data: Verify your vehicle is OBD2/EOBD compliant. Ensure the diagnostic app is up-to-date and correctly configured for your vehicle's protocol.
• Specific System Access (e.g., ABS, Airbag): Standard OBD-II scanners primarily read powertrain data. Access to manufacturer-specific systems like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) or SRS (Supplemental Restraint System/Airbag) depends on the capabilities of the diagnostic app and the vehicle's ECU. The iCar Pro 2S itself provides the communication interface; the app determines what data can be read or cleared.
