Troubleshooting and Support
Encountering issues? The Kobra KB30 is designed for smooth operation, but here are solutions to common questions:
- App Not Recognizing Scanner: Ensure your device is connected to the “WiFi_OBDII” network and that your OBD app settings are configured to use a Wi-Fi connection. Force quit and relaunch the app to apply new settings.
- No Power to Scanner: Detach and re-attach the scanner. Check your vehicle’s OBD fuse and replace if necessary.
- Connected to Scanner but Not ECU: Turn off Wi-Fi, force quit the app, disconnect and reconnect the scanner, then reconnect Wi-Fi and relaunch the app.
- Check Engine Light Not Clearing: Try clearing codes in ACC mode (second ignition position). Note that clearing codes doesn’t fix the underlying issue, and the light may reappear if the problem persists.
- Scanner Can’t Read Codes: While highly compatible, very specific or rare vehicle issues might require specialized diagnostic tools.
- App Detects Scanner but Won’t Connect to Car: Verify your vehicle is OBD2 compliant. Vehicles made after January 1, 1996, are generally OBD2 compliant. For older vehicles, professional mechanic scanners might be necessary.
