- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine. This allows the scanner to connect to your car's computer system.
-
Plug in the ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner:

-
Pair with the ELM327 Device:

- To reset the check engine light, you can use the app’s function to clear the error codes. Note that this should only be done after addressing the underlying issue.
