38 PSI (265 kPa) cold all round is the magic number for 235/50R18 on the Atto 3. Wears dead flat across the tread shoulders and sharpens up turn-in without making the ride harsh.

OBD2 Diagnostics Guide for BYD EVs & PHEVs: Reading Cell Voltages, SOH, Temps & Clearing Ghost Fault Codes with CarScanner ProWant to see your real Blade Battery State of Health (SOH), individual cell voltages (all 126 to 172 cells), battery coolant inlet/outlet temperatures, DC fast-charging power request vs actual delivery, and clear ghost fault codes? Here is the complete OBD2 setup guide for BYD owners.
1. Recommended Bluetooth LE 4.0/5.0 OBD2 Adapters
Do not buy a $10 unbranded blue ELM327 clone — they drop multi-frame CAN messages needed to read 126+ battery cells. Use one of these verified adapters:
- Vgate vLinker MC+ (BLE 4.0) or Vgate iCar Pro 2S (BLE 5.2) (~$35–$55 AUD / £22–£35 on Amazon)
- OBDLink CX (Rock-solid auto-sleep mode, also works with ABRP live telemetry!)
2. Connection Profile in CarScanner ELM OBD2 (iOS / Android)
- Plug the dongle into the OBD2 port under the driver's dash (above the accelerator/brake pedals).
- Open CarScanner → Settings → Connection → Connection Profile.
- Select Brand:
BYDand choose:BYD Atto 3 / Yuan Plus / Dolphin (e-Platform 3.0)BYD Seal / Sealion 7BYD DM-i / DMO PHEV (Sealion 6 / Seal U / Shark 6)
- Open the Dashboard tab to view live BMS SOH %, Min/Max Cell Voltage (V), Min/Max Pack Temp (°C), and 12V Aux Voltage.
