Error Messages and Alerts (continued)
message, but it was only displayed when a protocol
initiation or search was interrupted. As of version 1.4,
the message is printed any time that an OBD task is
interrupted.
UNABLE TO CONNECT
The ELM327 has tried all of the available
protocols, and could not detect a compatible one. This
could be because your vehicle uses an unsupported
protocol, or could be as simple as forgetting to turn the
ignition key on. Check all of your connections, and the
ignition, then try the command again.
Outline Diagrams
The diagrams at the right show the two package
styles that the ELM327 is available in.
The first shows our ELM327P product in what is
commonly called a ‘300 mil skinny DIP package’. It is
used for through hole applications.
The ELM327SM package shown at right is also
sometimes referred to as 300 mil, and is often called
an SOIC package. We have chosen to simply refer to
it as an SM (surface mount) package.
The drawings shown here provide the basic
dimensions for these ICs only. Please refer to the
