to the adapter it will most likely go off after you disconnect and unplug the adapter. Below are
some things you can try to alleviate this problem.
1. Go to the App's Settings page.
2. Uncheck 'Monitor Faults'.
3. Check 'Ignore Vehicle Info'.
4. Check 'Ignore Transmission Data'.
5. Set the Adapter Minimum Interval to 1000.
6. If the above does not solve the problem do the following:
7. Go to the System Settings page.
8. Uncheck Keep J1708 Port Open (this may worsen the situation).
9. Increase the Adapter J1708 Bus Idle Time by 5 milliseconds (eg. 10.4 to 15.4). You can
continue to increase this setting. If this fixes the faults then decrease it by 1 ms increments
until the faults reappear then go up 1 or 2 milliseconds. Note, this may reduce the response
time for some ECM data.
If one or more of these changes fixes your problem please let BlueFire Support know by emailing
them with your vehicle configuration and what you did to fix the problem.
If none of these suggestions fixes the issue and you continue to get the check engine light then
unfortunately the adapter will not work for you and you can send it back for a full refund.
OBD-II Data Bus
If you have a vehicle with an automotive engine (Ford, GM, Mercedes, etc) and an OBD-II
diagnostic port (rectangular instead of round) you will also need an OBD-II to J1939 converter
connector to use with our J1939 adapters. Links to manufacturers of these converter connectors
can be found on our website/store.
Most OBD-II vehicles 2015 and newer will work with our adapter. Older vehicles may or may not
work.
OBD-II ECMs do not transmit as much information as J1939 or J1708 ECMs. The data items that
may be available are RPM, Speed, Odometer (Distance), Oil Temp, Intake Temp, Coolant Temp,
Boost Pressure, Fuel Level, Fuel Rate, Total Engine Hours, Engine Load, Engine Torque, Driver
Torque, Accelerator Pedal Position, Throttle Position, Battery Voltage, and Faults.
If you do not receive any data you can try changing the System Settings option 'OBD-II CAN Bus
Settings' however you may cause an ECM fault if the setting is incorrect. In most cases the fault
will reset itself when you disconnect and unplug the adapter.
