The specific OBDII Protocols list is available for CarChip data loggers with firmware version 3.12,
3.18 or later in Fleet Management Software version 3.9.3 or later. See the CarChip web site for
more information on updated CarChip firmware.

If your vehicle is not listed in the Specific Vehicle Exceptions, but are seeing odd behavior, it may
be that CarChip is trying to initialize a protocol that your vehicle does not use. When CarChip is
first connected to a vehicle, it cycles through the list of protocols to find the protocol the vehicle is
using. If a protocol is selected from the list, the next time CarChip is placed in that vehicle, the
selected protocol will be used. Do not select a specific protocol if you do not know your vehicle's
protocol. Contact

Technical Support

for assistance in selecting a specific protocol if you are

uncertain.

Reset Check Engine Light

Use the CarChip Reset Check Engine Light command to turn the CarChip Reset Check Engine
Light feature on and off. Arming this feature resets the check engine light in the vehicle the
CarChip is used in. Disarming this feature means that the CarChip does not reset the check
engine light.

To change the CarChip Reset Check Engine Light status:

1. Select

Reset Check Engine Light in the CarChip Menu. The dialog box is displayed

showing the current state.
