Just got it last night and I already have a question on it.

When I try to see the fault codes, it tells me it is not connected to the ECU.

How can I do that?
I can't find any thing under settings which would allow me to connect to the ECU.


Under "Test Results" menu same thing applies. Not connected to the ECU.

I went to Adapter Status Information and there is a warning sign that I am not connected to the ECU. Pressing on it doesn't do anything in terms of options to connect or not.

I assume you did purchase an OBDII bluetooth adapter, right?

Once you connect the OBDII to the card OBD port, you have to connect
your phone/tablet to the adapter via the normal bluetooth settings from the phone.

Then you can run Torque and it will connect and recognize the car ECU

Yes. I have an OBD BT adapter connected to the app on my tablet.
I can see a lot of parameters, but there are a few things not working.

I played with the app for a while and I think I fixed the issue.
I allowed plug-ins to access data. Either a coincidence or something else, but it is connected to the ECU.

Playing with it I found things that are not OK.
Not fault codes, something different.

Does anybody know what they are?

Is 206*F within the normal operating range for the coolant?

whats the thermostat temp rating? That doesn't sound high to me, I wouldn't worry till 230ish +

BTW how did you see that previous screen? I cant get my nook hd+ to sync up to my BT adapter so far all I've been able to use is my phone.

According to the app, the coolant temperature got up to that point. I don't know what the thermostat says.

Mine requires a password in order to connect to the OBD adapter. I tried 0000 and 1234. The latter worked.

The screen I posted above is under "Torque Scan". I had to download a plug in from the app store.
