Torque Pro: What does it all mean.

[Flip97GTP]

I bought the Torque OBD II Pro app at the play store and the Kiwi Bluetooth this weekend. The app is a pretty good app for diagnostics on your ride, but the problem is that I don't understand exactly what it all means. So, how do I know what I'm looking at is good or bad? Some of it is simple, for example coolant temperature and others I don't know what it means. I guess I have to just keep fooling around with it and do some research. Overall I like the app.

Here is some screen shots of some numbers my ride had. Maybe someone can help make sense of all this.

Thanks BillBoost, I was looking for hours trying to find a thread on this and you post a thread in a couple minutes....Lol you know your way around here.

i dont see KR in your list of gauges. if you cant find knock retard in the list down load the torque scan add on. its free.

[Flip97GTP]

Yea...I have that add-on, but don't see the KR gauge, I'm new to this I have to look around more in the app and on my phone.

[Scottydoggs]

the list is alphabetical, so look for K.

[Flip97GTP]

Scotty, I looked and looked and again looked. I can't find any thing that saids knock retard or KR. I see knock detector, but when I click on that it opens a road type thing with intake temperatures. Is that it?

You need to.enable gm pids in the settings..then kr will show in the list

When I enable pids in settings, do I need to put certain type parameters in there.

Thanks Fellas! I figured it out.

I have misfire in cylinder 6.
Highest value for KR is 0.5

Have a look.


I don't what this next 2 are?





I know a little about this screenshot, but not much....

[Scottydoggs]

the more gauges you have per page the slower they all work.

so put kr and something else alone so you can see its true real time.

This is exactly what i was looking for here.

You can get a better understanding of the readings on your ride.

Here is some good reading. It explains everything very well, but its a lot of reading. Its a good start.
