Been using the KIWI4 and OBD Fusion with great results including Carplay App which you can select what you can see on screen.

Will this clear all dtcs in every module?

I’ve used the blue driver to clear all the CELs and it’s worked for me (CELs related to o2 sensors, etc). The only thing it didn’t clear is the airbag light after the carbon bucket seats install. I believe you need a lotus tool once you bypass the airbag warning light

Ok idk how many modules are in the Emira storing dtcs. Recently changed battery and I heard you have to clear dtcs after idk if that’s true. But dealer is 3 hours away so would like to know if any dtcs popped up that I have to clear, my concern is it won’t see everything.

When I changed my battery I didn’t have to clear anything. Didn’t get any codes that I needed to clear

Oh ok you check with the scanner and nothing showed?

Yeah I had the car unlocked all doors closed and trunk open key was in the house. I let it sit like that for an hour before I changed it. So I think I should be good too but trying to ensure I do everything right.

No, when I plugged in the new battery no codes showed up at all so there was no need to plug it in and clear anything. Not sure a new battery throws any codes as I haven’t heard of that in any car. I wouldn’t worry about cleaning any codes if it doesn’t show up on the dash

I only used the scanner when I got CELs but not battery related

I have a BlueDriver OBD 2 and have used it several times on my Emira

Hi everyone, I have never used an OBD2 scanner and don't know how effective it is

Blue driver resets all codes and extinguishes the CEL on the turbo, its a great bit of kit

Need a OBD tool that can remove and stop the CEL completely.

The OBD Killer is the definitive solution for OBD fault codes P0401 (EGR), P0420 (Cat) and many more.

Check engine light on again? The OBD-Killer blocks sporadic errors fully automatically!

Wonder whether this would work on the turbo???

Which app will you use with Blue driver?

The blue driver app from apple or android store

Great question...Unfortunately the answer (as best I can determine after extensive search) is Lotus OBDII readers are proprietary and only the dealers have the ability to conduct full scans and diagnosis.

However

The next best thing is the OBD Link product. Since a lot of Lotus' info is based on toyota most common issues can be read and diagnosed with this system. You'll need to download the app and buy the Bluetooth OBD adapter.

I used this on my Evora GT and it worked really well. Haven't plugged it into an Emira but assume it'll work there too

Yeah, I bought one of these ages ago for my Focus RS. Even supported changing things and programming the body modules through Forscan. This dongle can connect to basically every CAN bus on the car. I've already used it for connecting to my Emira to scan for codes.

The included software is free, and functional, but not really that great. Reads pretty much every module in the car though and you can setup dash pages to show different PIDs.

And the big bonus is it will work with apps like Harry's Lap Timer and others so you can feed telemetry into your videos.
