Hello all,

What would you guys recommend for OBDII Tools to clear faults on Niro Hybrid?

The one I found is https://kiaspecialtools.com/Catalog/Product/GDSM-CPKITK

This tool will clear faults and provide information about the fault. However, it's highly expensive just to clearing fault that you might easily go to AutoZone/ Advanced Auto Parts just to clear the fault.

I also bought this one and going to return back because it doesn't detect the Niro

Any idea for the tools?

I picked this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073XKQQQW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You need an app with that, I'm using OBD Fusion on an iPhone.

I got a Konnwei ELM327 on eBay that I used on my old Mustang. It is a little brick unit that plugs into the port and then uses Bluetooth to connect to my smartphone. It seemed to work well, though the repair should and I never did figure out the error. 'Sold the Mustang so now don't care.

I think I still search for better OBD Scanner. At least, it can do an oil service light reset and EPB functions, plus clear out the faults. I know the ELM327 can clear out the faults through PID.

I also use this one

It turns out great with OBDWiz and I was able to clear out the faults. However, it needs a laptop to connect and found out there are 6 ECU's on Niro.

I'm pretty sure the ELM327 is the chipset on my scanner. I'm sure the $5,000 scanner is better of course, able to change dealer only settings. Might be a good reason shop rates are so high.

I bought this the day I came home with te car! It's on Amazon, here's the link...

Cost was $10.97. It works terrific with the TORQUE PRO App. I have a Samsung Android tablet that works nicely in the Niro!

So it communicates with the tablet, the question might be will it play nice with other software!

It's been plugged in 24/7 since I got it, no battery issues!


Geeze, I really DISLIKE/HATE the short time to edit your own generated post thing, it should be available to edit any time/any where..
