OBD2 Scanner for Suzuki WagonR

[pwuser159366440230]

Suggest me a good OBD2 scanner which works with Suzuki WagonR VXL 2017 model.

Any OBD2 will work really. It all depends what functionality you want.

If you just want to read and delete codes, a very basic will work as well.

If you want one which includes functional tests/trims and live data etc, you'll need to fork out the extra cash.

Research/Google the models you are interested in to get a better understanding of their functionality.

I am interested to get fuel average and tank capacity. I heard that OBD2 meters don't work in Suzuki Pakistan cars.

[affanhaq94]

Interesting. Well, if that's the case, I will opt out and someone with more knowledge can chime in on this.

Tank capacity can be found by a Google search in most cases. Fuel economy, if your car doesn't have a trip gauge, then 'some' scan tools may provide this data.

[pwuser159366440230]

Capacity is 35 litres. I know that.
By tank capacity I meant remaining fuel in tank expressed as a percentage.
There are many ways to know nominal fuel average of a car but I want real time monitoring as given in Cultus 2021 and later models.
I read it somewhere on PakWheels Forums that OBD2 scanners don't work in Suzuki vehicles assembled in Pakistan.

Get a cheap OBD2 Bluetooth dongle and try some apps on your phone to see what data streams you can access and read in real time. ELM327 is a popular one and can be had for less than Rs. 500. I could access everything on my PKDM Hondas and Toyotas PCM, but not TCM etc.

If it works for you, there are configurable OBD2 dash displays that you can purchase and install to have a live view of fuel consumption, tank capacity expressed as a percentage, etc.

I have done some research and found that ELM327 reader used with SZ Viewer A1 android app is compatible with Suzuki vehicles. Other applications don't work on Suzuki.

[Proverbial_Slang]

Not all ELM 327 work with Suzuki. Search on Daraz to see which ones work. Use "SZ Viewer" app with it.

[pwuser159366440230]

Yes I know that.
But in SZ Viewer A1 app, option of fuel average is not available.

[Proverbial_Slang]

No. Once I obtain a compatible OBD device for my Liana, I will start exploring apps.

[pwuser159366440230]

Try ELM 327. It should work with your car.
Unfortunately, Suzuki doesn't allow other apps to be used with their vehicles due to proprietary issues.

[Proverbial_Slang]

I have the ELM 327. It doesn't work. It lights up when connected to the OBD port, and it shows on my phone as a bluetooth device, it pairs to the phone, but SZ Viewer is unable to communicate with it.

[pwuser159366440230]

It means in Suzuki vehicles, OBD2 scanners can't be used.

I have shared this many times on forum.
You need elm327 with PIC controller. It Will work on every single car brand.

[pwuser159366440230]

What is PIC controller?

[Hassan1991]

PIC18f25k80 controller is an Ic chip.

[pwuser159366440230]

Wagon R men yeh kaisay istamal kr skte hen?
PIC controller+elm 327

Could anybody find solution of obd2 scanner elm 327 connectivity with wagoner

[Proverbial_Slang]

I was able to search this chip, and found a device on Daraz. It works now with my Liana. However, I have not been able to find another app apart from SZ Viewer.

[Hassan1991]

Any application will work if you put the correct initialisation codes and headers.
