Torque Pro (OBD 2 & Car)
How do I read and clear check engine codes with Torque Pro?
Connect a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to your car's port, pair it with the app, and open Torque Pro. The app will display the trouble code and its meaning, like a minor oxygen sensor issue, and you can clear the code from the same screen to turn off the check engine light.
Can I customize the dashboard to show specific readings like coolant temperature and battery voltage?
Yes, Torque Pro lets you create a custom dashboard with gauges for real-time data like engine temperature, battery voltage, and fuel economy. You can add or remove gauges to focus on the readings your mechanic recommends, though the layout can feel cramped with small fonts.
Why won't my Bluetooth adapter pair with Torque Pro on my Pixel 7?
Pairing can take a few tries—ensure your car is on and the adapter is plugged into the OBD2 port before searching in the app's Bluetooth settings. If it still fails, restart your phone and the adapter, then try again; the app is stable on Pixel 7 once connected.
How can I show logged data to my mechanic after a warning light?
Torque Pro logs performance data like engine temperature and speed over time, which you can access in the app's data logging section. You can export this log as a file or show the numbers directly on your phone to help your mechanic diagnose intermittent issues.
How does Torque Pro compare to free OBD2 scanner apps?
Unlike free apps that often have ads, crash frequently, or fail to connect, Torque Pro costs about $5–$6 with no subscriptions and provides reliable, detailed diagnostics. It offers customizable dashboards, GPS route logging, and multiple car profiles, making it more practical for real-world use than clunky free alternatives.
