Find Problems before they happen. See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!
Torque is a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU. Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want! It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time. It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!
Torque Pro Features :
View live OBD engine data on your Android phone - Connect to your vehicle ECU
Fully customisable dashboard screens - Design your own layouts and custom dials, use your own themes
Retrieve Fault Codes (DTCs) and clear Check Engine lights - View fault descriptions using the built-in databases
Upload live OBD2 data to your webserver or the torque web viewer in realtime
Check the performance of your vehicle with BHP / Torque / 0-60 & Quarter Mile widgets.
How to setup :
First, locate the vehicle diagnostics socket - it should be a similar shape that will let the adapter plug into it. Some common places for it are underneath the drivers-side dashboard, or behind a flap near or underneath the steering wheel. Some vauxhalls/GMs have them placed in the centre 'tunnel' between drivers and passenger seats underneath the ash tray, and Alfas could be in the passenger glovebox.
Once you have located the socket, plug the adapter into it. Some lights on it should light up. If you are using the PLX adapter, make sure it is turned on if it has a switch.
Now you need to pair the adapter with the phone. Some common pairing codes here are '0000' or '1234'. For older versions of Android (1.5 & 1.6), you may need to pair the phone 'twice'(check the notification bar for the pairing request after pairing for the first time).
Pairing the adapter with the phone is relatively simple:
Go to the phones bluetooth settings, accessible via the phones 'Settings->Wireless and networks->Bluetooth settings'
Scan for devices
Wait until the bluetooth device shows in the list - it should say 'scantool','obdkey','plx ...','cbt' or something similar.
Select the device, you will be asked for a pairing code, enter the pairing code for the device.
You are now paired. If you are using Android 1.5 you may get asked a second time (in the notification bar) to authorise the pairing - use the same pin code here as well.
Selecting the adapter with Torque :
Launch Torque, and go into the applications settings menu
Select the "OBD2 Bluetooth Settings" settings option
Scroll down the list of items until you see 'Connection Type' in the list. Make sure this is set to 'Bluetooth'
Scroll down to the bluetooth preferences section, select 'Choose Bluetooth Device' and select the adapter you paired with earlier.
Torque is now setup, and should connect to the adapter. To speed things up you might want to quit the app and restart it.
Make sure your vehicle ignition is on (the engine does not have to be running) and Torque will start to read sensor information from the ECU. When Torque is properly connected, all the flashing icons at the top right of the main screen should turn blue and stay solid.
