ELM329

Low Power Mode

Often, the ELM329 is connected to a vehicle for

only a short time, so power consumption is not of great
concern. Occasionally, the ELM329 may be connected
for longer times, however, possibly without the engine
running. For these applications, it is often desirable to
be able to put the circuit into a low power ‘standby’
state, and have it return to normal operation when
needed. The power control features of the ELM329 are
provided for this.

There are four ways in which the ELM329 can be

placed into the low power standby mode (these are
shown pictorially in Figure 6 below). They all require

that the master enable bit (bit 7 of PP 0E) be set to ‘1’
for them to function (which it is by default).

The first method is with an AT command. Simply

send ‘AT LP’ at the prompt:

>AT LP

and the ELM329 will go to the low power mode after a
one second delay (which gives the controlling circuit a
little time to perform some housekeeping tasks).

When the ELM329 goes to the low power mode, it

first turns all five LED outputs off, then switches pin 14
