Product Description

Advancer Smart OBD Dongle (AD20/AD20 Pro) is a smart diagnosis terminal that communicates with your Android/iOS devices via Bluetooth. With the Advancer app, AD20 provides services like vehicle health checks, diagnosis, and driving habits analysis for car owners.

Main Functions

1. OBD- Code Check
   Advancer AD20 can read and categorize the fault codes (DTCs) that are stored inside the vehicle ECU via standard OBD-Ⅱ protocols.

2. In-depth Check
   The in-depth check function allows you to do a thorough check on vehicle systems like engine, powertrain, brakes, steering, safety, infotainment, and so on, which helps owners to know the health condition of the car clearly and provide a safe and comfortable driving experience on travels.

   • Note: In-depth check on all systems is only supported on AD20 Pro; AD20 supports in-depth check on engine only.

3. Live Data
   When the car is started, Advancer will provide and demonstrate detailed vehicle status like battery voltage, engine revolution speed, coolant temperature, engine load, fuel trimming, and so on. This will help you to get the real-time working conditions of the car.

4. Maintenance Light Reset
   Reset the maintenance counter and turn off the maintenance light after finishing maintenance. For your driving safety, make sure you have followed the manual when doing maintenance to your car.

   • Note: The maintenance light is a reminder set by the car manufacturer, which reminds drivers to do maintenance when needed. When the reminder is on, the car will show info on the dashboard screen or simply show a light. Maintenance Light Reset is only supported on AD20 Pros.

5. Trip Recorder
   When driving, Advancer will record the index like average speed, fuel consumption, mileage, max engine revolution speed, and max coolant temperature and show them on the app. This will help you to know vehicle status and fuel consumption info on the entire trip.

6. Driving Habits Monitor
   With the G-sensors inside Advancer, all the sharp turns, emergency brakes, and sudden accelerations will be recorded and shown on the app after analysis. This function will provide data support if you are willing to improve your driving skills.

    Please check the network on your phone and the account info is correct. If both those are checked but the problem still happens, please contact customer support.
    

12. Why the fault codes couldn’t be cleared, or just appear again after being cleared?

    • When clearing codes, please refer to the actual situations to the fault. Usually, there are sporadic codes and actual codes:
    • Sporadic codes: Normally this happens when the component works abnormally at some points, probably because of electromagnetic interference, vibration, poor contact with the wiring, and so on.
    • Those codes could be cleared directly.
    • Actual codes: This happens when there are components that are failed. Before clearing those codes, make sure that you have fixed the issue.
    • If the fault lights are on again after clearing codes, that means the faults are not fully fixed – further inspections are needed in those cases.

13. Why there are no lights shown on my dashboard but AD20 scanned that there are DTC codes present?

14. Not all the DTC codes will trigger the fault lights on the dashboard – the manufacturer will decide which fault will trigger the light and which won’t.

15. The ECU may still not fully decide if this is a fault yet. Maybe there is electromagnetic interference or vibration that misleads the ECU. Normally in those cases, the ECU will decide if this is an actual fault after running for several cycles.

16. Why there are fault lights on my car, but the Advancer cannot find any DTC codes?

    • Please make sure that the Advancer supports checking current fault codes:
    • AD20: OBDII Standard fault codes & Engine in-depth check
    • AD20 Pro: OBDII Standard fault codes & All system in-depth checks e.g.:
    • The ABS light turned on in the dashboard. AD20 cannot show the specific fault code but AD20 Pro can.

17. Why is the fault light turned on when doing a diagnosis?
    When performing diagnosis, some ECUs will get into diagnosis mode and the corresponding fault light will turn on. The light will turn off automatically when the process is over and it is normal, please don’t worry. Start your smart OBDlife Advancer Smart OBDDongle
