I’m 75 years old so I’m not to swift on this new technowledge. Anyhow can someone tell me the steps to take to read engine misfires ? Do I need to download some additional apps or something if so how do I use them

Thanks

@strightclaw I’m not gonna’ cut you any slack just for being 75 years old. Hell, I’m 72 myself – and still get that “green behind the ears” stupid feeling.

Maybe you can even help ME.

As @Capp777 suggested above, mode 6 (On your Torque Pro opening screen, its the “Test Results” icon) is probably the best. Most vehicles ‘SEEM’ to adhere to some sort of standard (documentation out there makes me think much of the MODE 6 stuff is fairly standard). BUT, I do not know if the misfire accumulators/counters are reported at the same location in the Mode 6 misfire response (Bytes G & H in the response) on vehicles ‘other than’ Ford.

If _YOU_, (or anyone) built that dashboard on a non-Ford vehicle and found it to work, I’d like to know and appreciate any feedback. I “SERIOUSLY” doubt the other elements of that dashboard (ie: drive count without a misfire, flag status, or freeze frame data captured at tiime of misfire) would work on anything OTHER than a Ford – primarily 2004-2008. Maybe drive count and trip count would.

ALSO, I would repeat my sentiments expressed in the linked post that the desire to observe ‘LIVE’ misfire counts is actually misguided. There is NOTHING anyone is going to do to change or alter ‘which’ cylinder is misfiring until you get back to the garage and raise the hood. Then, press the “Test Results” icon, – give it time to complete all tests before misfires – and see WHICH cylinder is/has been accumulating misfires and address THAT cylinder.

Good Luck.
