Finally, today we got a chance to test this out. We tested my ELM327 adapter (that I use daily in my SX4), in my colleague's Fortuner, and it works! It worked quite well, in the sense that we could read most of the parameters. However, it did not read absolute throttle position, which it reads in my SX4. So there might be one or two odd parameters that it does not read (and this may be true with any other car as well - not all cars will read all parameters anyways), but in general it works quite well. By the way, the particular Fortuner we tested on is a brand new one which my colleague bought just last month. This is 4x4 AT version, manufactured in July 2015. So for all those who might be wondering, here is a confirmation that ELM327 works on Fortuner, based on actual test we did today. Thanks, -AD Last edited by Dr.AD : 7th August 2015 at 20:13. | |

| ![]() Thanks for the update AD. Could you let me know where you picked up that ELM327 from? Where is the OBD port located in the fortuner? Thanks Bopanna |

By the way, could the Innova OBDII noncompliance come from the fact that it debuted in 2007, before the OBDII became common in India (i.e. 2010), and maybe Toyota never bothered to upgrade their ECU firmware/protocols since then? | |

By the way, talking about differences in readings between my SX4 and this Fortuner, one thing that was glaring was the difference in fuel flow rate. SX4 has fuel flow rate of about 0.8l/hr while idling, whereas the Fortuner had fuel flow rate of about 3.6l/hr while idling. Yes, the Fortuner has a much bigger engine, but nevertheless, the difference in this number was staggering. By the way, when we turned the key to the accessories on ('ACC') position, which kept the ECU on but engine OFF, the Fortuner battery voltage read was barely 12V. I have set an alarm in Torque Pro for battery voltage dropping below 12V, and that alarm started sounding immediately when I connected to Fortuner. Now, this raised a question. When engine is OFF, I am reading true battery voltage (otherwise I am reading the alternator charging voltage). From various battery related forums on the net, I learned the battery voltage should be 12.6V when fully charged. 12V actually indicates only marginally charged battery. So we were very surprised to see the battery voltage in this new Fortuner down to 12V. Is this an issue? What do you guys think? | |

Secondly, it depends upon what all electronics were running at that time. If stuff like the music system, lights, AC blower etc were running at that time, the car can report a marginally lower battery voltage. Check that once. | |

So should we be alarmed about this Fortuner battery? | |

If you search for "OBDII Bluetooth Adapeter" on amazon.in or enay.in, you will find several options. Any of these would be fine. The OBD port in Fortuner is located under the driver's right hand side dashboard, somewhere under the fuse box. I wish I had a picture, since it is hard to describe in words. But if you sit down on the floor near the driver's door, and keep the door open, and search under the dashboard, you will easily see a white colored 16 pin connector. That is the OBDII port. | |

In the first picture below, look at the red circle, and under that is the OBDII port. Unfortunately the port is not visible from this angle. The red arrow shows the angle from where the second picture was taken (you have to sit down/bend down to get this angle of view), and then you can see the port. ![]() The white 16-pin OBDII port is clearly visible in the second picture below: ![]() | |

I'm curious as to what stats are not supported by the Nano. I'm really interested in taking a log of my RPM ranges while driving as well as fuel economy numbers. Also, I have an additional question for you guys: I have a Mac and an Ubuntu netbook and an iPhone. It seems that I have all the gadgets that are not compatible with the ELM 327. ![]() Can ELM 327 connect with my laptop/iPhone through wifi by some means? Or do I have no other choice but to get a iOS compatible OBD scanner or hunt for a spare Android phone? | |
