Setup

The V310 scanner is designed for simple plug-and-play operation. No batteries or external power supply are required as it draws power directly from your vehicle's OBDII Data Link Connector (DLC).

Initial Connection:

1. Locate your vehicle's 16-pin OBDII DLC. This port is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual if you cannot find it.
2. Ensure your vehicle's ignition is in the 'OFF' position.
3. Firmly plug the V310 scanner's OBDII connector into the vehicle's DLC.
4. Turn your vehicle's ignition to the 'ON' position (engine can be off or running, depending on the test). The scanner will power on automatically.

Language Settings:

The V310 supports multiple languages. You can change the display language through the system settings.

Key Functions:

• Read Codes: Retrieves Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the vehicle's computer. These codes indicate specific issues detected by the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system.
• Erase Codes: Clears all DTCs from the vehicle's computer and turns off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), also known as the 'Check Engine' light. Note: Clearing codes does not fix the underlying problem. Ensure the issue is resolved before clearing codes to prevent recurrence.
• I/M Readiness: Checks the readiness of the emission monitoring systems. This function is useful for determining if the vehicle is ready for an emissions test.
• Vehicle Info: Displays vehicle information such as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Calibration ID (CALID), and Calibration Verification Number (CVN).
• Data Stream: Shows real-time live data from the vehicle's sensors. This includes parameters such as:
  • Engine RPM
  • Calculated Load Value
  • Coolant Temperature
  • Fuel System Status
  • Vehicle Speed
  • Short Term Fuel Trim
  • Long Term Fuel Trim
  • Intake Manifold Pressure
  • Timing Advance
  • Intake Air Temperature
  • Air Flow Rate
  • Absolute Throttle Position
  • Oxygen sensor voltages/associated short term fuel trims
  • Fuel System status

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your V310 scanner.

Cleaning:

• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the scanner.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your V310 scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

No Power:

• Check Connection: Ensure the OBDII connector is firmly plugged into the vehicle's DLC.
• Vehicle Ignition: Confirm the vehicle's ignition is in the 'ON' position.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Verify your vehicle is OBDII compliant (most vehicles from 1996 onwards in the US, Europe, and Asia).
• Vehicle Battery: Ensure your vehicle's battery has sufficient charge.

Communication Error:

• Verify Protocol: Ensure your vehicle uses one of the supported OBDII protocols.
• Ignition Cycle: Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on and try again.
• Check Vehicle Fuses: A blown fuse related to the OBDII port can prevent communication. Consult your vehicle's manual for fuse box diagrams.
• Try on Another Vehicle: If possible, test the scanner on a different OBDII-compliant vehicle to rule out a scanner malfunction.

Screen is Blank or Frozen:

• Restart Scanner: Disconnect the scanner from the vehicle, wait a few seconds, and then reconnect it.
• Contrast Adjustment: The V310 has contrast adjustment. Navigate to 'System Setup' and adjust 'Contrast' if the screen is too dim or too bright.
