Hi All,

I have a 100% reproducible event that occurs when I use Torque and an “el-cheapo” ELM327 on my 2010 Holden Commodore 3.0L V6 (GM). Torque is running on a 2015 Samsung S5 over Bluetooth.

If I leave Torque running and refuel the car, approximately 1Km after leaving the petrol station, my car shows “ABS Fault”, “Traction Control Error:” and “Brake fault”. The cruise then disconnects as well. I can recover, very easily, by stopping, turning the engine off for 4-5 minutes and either pulling the ELM or shutting Torque. Once I’m back on the road, reinstating monitoring is fine.

I also get this problem when the fuel level is very low. The level measurement is VERY accurate but if I get below 5%, the sloshing in the tank causes fuel level excursions and I get the errors. I can also generate this if I park the car on a steep slope with low fuel levels.

It happened when I first bought the car (as a second hander) and I gave, unfortunately, my dealer (I’ve bought 3 cars from him) a bit of a run around as he tried to reproduce the error. Naturally, his tech removed my ELM so they never saw it. I actually replaced the rear ABS harness and sensors myself (bitch of a job) before I twigged to the set of symptoms.

Anyway, is this due to a crappy ELM, a firmware anomaly in the car or something that Torque is doing.

I’m actually really pleased with the software and use it continually so this is NOT a bitch – just asking if there is something I can do? Should I invest in a class ELM?

Thanks in advance

Tony
