Installation - OBD II (8156OBD, 8160OBD) Owner's manual

Once plugged in, the console should “wake-up” into the Current

Readings screen. If the display remains blank, make sure the battery

is properly installed in the unit. If it is, try pressing MODE. If the

screen remains blank after pressing MODE, press both the MODE

and PLUS simultaneously. If it remains blank after that, check the

OBDII port connection.

Procedure 4: Test the Installation

1. Take a test drive and verify that the console displays the vehicle

speed.

2. If the speed shown in the DriveRight console appears to be off,

check the console’s calibration. You can calibrate DriveRight in the

vehicle using the instructions in your DriveRight User’s Guide, but

you will have much better accuracy with the DriveRight OBD if you

calibrate it in the DriveRight software using the following settings:

• PPM (pulses per mile) = 75,000

• PPR (pulses per reading) = calculated by software

• Calibration Number = calculated by software

Note: If you are using DriveRight FMS 3.1 or later, just select the “OBD” installation

method in the Device Settings dialog box when you configure the DriveRight con-

sole.
