Write-Up: Torque APP OBD2 Reader

Sounds good in theory.. I don't have bigger tires to test this out with but I have all the software if anyone in Phx wants to figure it out.

 

Hey Guys! Still having trouble with mine

I finally got the Droid razr to find and read my obd2 bluetooth dongle but the dongle doesn't read anything from the truck(or torque doesn't read anything) i dunno--im not good with this stuff but I do learn fast

it asks me if the ignition is turned on(which it is everytime---any help!?

i'm desperate enough i'll paypal someone a few bucks of they help me and i'm able to get this to work!

 

Is torque syncing to the dongle? It should sync to the dongle when you start torque with the ignition on. you may have to go to Torque settings and select the dongle to use. There should be four icons on the main screen that show sync to the satellite for GPS, the phone, the the dongle and the ECU. Those may not be exact but close.

 

Yes--i got that connected

but then after 30 seconds it says the dongle can't read the ecu


UPDATE: it worked on our 98 4.3l chevy blaser

wont work on our tundra or tacoma?

wtf!?

 

Mine does that shit too where you have to go into setting and fuck with it to get it to hook up. Kind of annoying. Shouldn't have to pair it up everytime you use the damn thing.........and yeah, saved the profile while it was working.

 

My OBD2 scanner came today and I already have the full version Torque app. Got them paired tonight and started to play. Amazing what kind of info you can get for < $20.00 investment!!!

 

Got mine paired up a week or so ago, just added the Transmission temp based on the formula provided here.

Thanks for the help!

 

My tranny temps are running 145 (cruising freeway at 65)-165(accellerating on freeway or city), that sound about right? Also, coolant is at 180ish.

 

That sounds about right. Your transmission cooler will help hold those tranny temps down unless your pulling a load.

 

Just added the PIDs for transmission temp and am looking forward to checking them out tomorrow. I created a new view with the trans temp and a few other temps but all of the canned ones are in degrees Celsius even though I set degrees Fahrenheit in the Torque settings. Anyone else see this???

Also, is there a way to monitor oil pressure???

 

I've had some issues with the temp units and switched a couple of times then killed the app after exiting. seemed to come back correct then.
As far as i know, the oil sending unit is a pressure switch and is on/off only. No way to get pressure range from it. If anyone else knows something different share it and we will get a PID built for it.

 

how did you do it!!!!!! i can figure it out

 

From the main Torque screen, you select "Settings" and then scroll down to "Manage extra PIDs/Sensors". From there you can "Add custom PID" and use the parameters spelled out earlier in this post.

 

Kewl did it today, seems like its working. Thanks dewds!! TW is teh awesomeness!

 

Anyone try using this thing on a 1st gen?

 

Anyone figure out how to make it recognize you have 33inch tires ??

 

Sorry if this has been covered. I searched and couldnt find it.

Is there a PID for 1st gen Trans temp?

-JJ

 

So I purchased the paid version of Torque and it does come with a ATF temp gauge. Sweet tool!

 

Sweet thanks ill try it today after work.
another thing


how do I get the mpg to read/work I have a 2011tacoma prerunner DC short

I'm an idiot when it comes to things like this any and all help will be greatly appreciated
