OBD2 Causing error lights

Hey everyone

I ordered an OBD2 code reader almost 4 years ago, and I ran it with an app called Torque. It was initially for reading the codes on a dying Land Rover, but now with my truck I want to be able to see the temperatures and pressures of my fluids when towing or hauling. While it is plugged in and the app is not running, nothing is wrong. However, when I run the app, after driving around for a while the slip indicator comes on, as well as the ABS light. These lights stay on no matter what, until I turn off the truck. Any suggestions or ideas of what is going on?

 

Depends on the reader. If it's one of the cheap ELM327 copies, that might be it. Mine was causing pending codes to set if it was active while driving. I pretty much don't use it any more unless I'm in a bind.

 

Have you found a solution or another device that works better?
