Trying to figure out about the logging functions in the figo ecu

Permanent DTCs will not be cleared even if the battery is removed. Not sure about how it is in a Ford, but usually if an engine has seized due to hydrolock, the Crankshaft and Camshaft position sensors will throw up errors at least. It should be stored as a permanent DTC with a time stamp and a dump of all the other data related to the state of the car during the occurrence of the error. Only the temporary ones will clear out when the battery is removed.

Can anyone confirm this for the figo? Thanks

I have not experienced this error, but I'd recommend that you post this in the Torque-BHP forums. The developer or someone else may have an answer. Please do check the Change Logs thread as well.

I have a 2007 Ford Fiesta Duratec 1.4 EXI. I have an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle bought off ebay which works fine for our 1.2 Kappa i10 and a 1.2 KB10 Maruthi Suzuki Dezire. But when I connect the same device to my Ford and enter all the parameters, it just says 'profile not found'. Can anyone throw some light n this. I use the torque app as well.

Certain Bluetooth dongles does not work with Ford fiesta. You need to buy a new one & confirm with the seller regarding the compatibility with that of Ford fiesta.

Shashank,

Were you finally able to bring up OBD device on your WagonR?
If yes, i too need to purchase the same. I'm having WagonR Lxi 2007 model.

2007 means you have the F10D Engine and that Model is not OBD II compliant. Maruti then used its proprietary protocol and the information could be read/updated only using their Tech II Scanners.

Only recently, say after 2012/13/14, All of MSIL cars are OBD II compliant that makes it compatible with these OBD adapters available in the market.

One of my friend in Pune had custom created a scanner for this building it block by block and also created an android app for the same. We had tested it in our cars (both had F10D WagonR) way back in 2014.

Oh ok! Thanks for the information though.
I was just looking to add a "Distance to empty" guage. Is there anyway i can add this DTE with any compatible device(analog or digital is ok)?

Guys, I had bought an ELM 327 and tried using it on my 2004 Accent VIVA Crdi using Torque Pro. Everything works except the fuel related data. Thinking it to be a compatibility issue, I tried it with my Etios Liva Diesel and it was the same case. Knowing that Torque pro works perfectly with the Liva after googling around, I thought it might be the adapter issue so I bought another one. But the issue remains the same. I have tried various versions of Torque Pro, Bosch app etc. Did not get to test it with my i20 as its in my hometown and I always forget to take the ELM along.

Can anyone provide any pointers as to why it does not show Fuel related data?

[gm_arun]

Hi,
Got ELM 327 device yesterday and tried it in Eon. Used Torque lite version. It was working fine. Will be installing the Pro version. Was happy to see RPM meter moving. Will update the other details in the car in future.

Purchased in Ebay website for Rs.394/- Will be testing in other cars at home soon.

Hello fellow members!

I got a dongle from EBay India and been trying to get some data for Nissan Sunny XVD.

Running Torque Lite app as of now on Android 6.x.x

After switching on the Bluetooth, I see OBD II listed, can select & pair it by entering the code 1234.

The dongle has a red light when connected to the OBD port and then has a green light as well when Bluetooth pairing completes.

Entered the Torque Lite app, set the connection type to Bluetooth, Engine Capacity as 1.5, weight as 1200 and RPM as 6000.

Set some display dials on the screen like RPM, Coolant Temperature, Ambient temperature. The thing is - there is no data to display. Each display is either a hyphen or "0".

I read through previous pages and they talk about setting the profile/s - where do I find that option in Torque Lite?

Also, I remember Anurag mentioning about viewing the sensors available for your particular vehicle make/model, and selecting from them - where do I find this?

As of now, I have not set a profile as I am not sure where to set it from!

I have followed the exact steps, in exact sequence, as mentioned above.

Would be sensible to buy the Pro app only if the free app displays some data.

Any other app that I can try with?

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

Edit: Have not yet tried when the car is in motion.

There are 4 blue icons on the top right of the mobile screen. The 2nd and 4th are stationary (mobile & car symbols), however, the 1st and 3rd keep blinking.

Hi,

I guess you must have got a mini CD with the dongle. Inside that you have a pro version apk file. Try to install that. After that you can set up profile from home screen.

About available sensor, information must be there under "Adapter status information" menu.



The first icon is GPS, 2nd is mobile, 3rd must be dongle, 4th is car icon. I guess they are blinking to indicate its working or data connectivity with the mobile.

Thanks for your inputs! Yes, I did get a mini cd.

What I infer is that I would be able to set up a profile and view the available sensors only if I have the Torque Pro version installed?

Also, at stationary, I was expecting the free app to display at least the coolant temperature, RPM & Ambient Air Temperature. Does the free app not do this? (asking based on your experience with the device)

More than the app version (Torque Lite or Pro), I was assuming that all vehicles would at least display the RPM, irrespective of other sensors being supported or not.

Thanks again, I shall explore the contents of the CD and try as advised.

Edit:

The Torque Lite app doesn't show me an option "Adapter status information" under settings. It has -

Data Logging & Upload (File logging interval, Select what to log, Upload to webserver, etc.)
General Preferences (vehicle information, auto rotate, etc.)
Themes
Units
OBD2 Adapter Settings (connection type, bluetooth and wifi description & port #)
Other Settings

"Select what to log" - I have selected the following as of now -



I have set the below dials on the home screen (Please note - the dongle and mobile are not connected at the moment. Just an illustration)

I think it is not the app issue. From what I understand (and what I observed by playing with Torque - both free and pro versions - on my car), if everything is fine, you should see some basic data (engine RPM, coolant temperature etc.) even without any profile set. The profile has information relevant for some of the "calculated" parameters such as fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency, horsepower and torque etc. For "direct" measurements such as RPM and coolant temperature, profile setting is not an issue.

Yes, it is sensible to buy Torque Pro only if you see some data on Torque Lite. That is the intended purpose of Torque Lite anyways.

You can try some other apps such as "DashCommand" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hCommand&hl=en) and see if you get some basic readings at least.

I have a feeling somehow your ELM327 adapter is not getting the required data from the ECU or not transmitting it properly. I have a feeling it is an adapter issue and not the app issue at all.

I think that's it for the Lite app. These are the basic settings for the profile, and Torque Lite uses only these. The other advanced profile information (such as volumetric efficiency) are required for calculating advanced parameters which Torque Lite does not show anyways. So I think you will not find other profile page for Lite. The other profile page (under settings -> vehicle profile) is there in the Pro version.

Yes, you are exactly right. Even at stationary, you should see data such as engine RPM and coolant temperature. And free app should show this. When I was playing with it, I got a lot of data displayed using the free app without any issue.

This is why I believe you have some issue with the ELM327 adapter and not the app. You can confirm this by trying the DashCommand app.

Doesn't the CD contain the software for Torque IIRC?

It does and it should. It does almost everything except clear DTC's and some logging part. Basic view of parameters are possible in the LITE app.

Can you try it in any other car once?

Tried with the apps DashCommand & Fun2Drive - same result. The OBD adapter is detected, howevver, the ECU remains unreachable.

Tried 2 more apps that came bundled with the CD - OBD Mini & Torque Pro.

While OBD Mini didn't have Nissan Sunny listed, I was able to create a profile in Torque Pro, but there was an exclamation mark under "Connection to ECU", which further states that the adapter can't talk to the ECU.

I bought this from EBay and would talk to the seller (99% positive feedback is what made me order from this seller) for a replacement device, however, in the meantime would request anyone who has tried the device successfully in a Nissan Sunny to kindly share the details here. I am ready to buy another device (budget INR 1000/-) provided it has worked on a Sunny Diesel.

I am still on Page-58 of this thread, and haven't seen someone trying on a Sunny yet, so am not sure if it works.

Appreciate any inputs on this! Thank you!
