FAILED TO INITIALIZE ELM327 DEVICE #3

engineer00127 commented 6 years ago

I can not connect to my car, the screen just shows FAILED TO INITIALIZE ELM327 DEVICE. FAILED TO CONNECT TO ELM327 DEVICE. my car is Ford Everest 2010 which used CAN (11/500kb) and I am using Raspberry Pi 3 which already integrated Bluetooth inside so i don't need to use a USB Bluetooth dongle. So i think the serial port that i am using to connect Bluetooth is rfcomm, not USB port. what do I need to do to make it works, I am not a coder? Please help me !

From what you sent me, you found the issue appears to be a fake ELM327 device: https://obd-car-doctor.com/en-us/thread/Attention-Bad-Bluetooth-adapters-/
