Does torque pro offer bidirectional support? I somewhat doubt it, but it’s worth a shot. I run a repair shop and it would be nice go to not hanged to buy a super expensive scanner if I don’t have to.

Thanks

I think their question about bi-directional is referring to sending signals to sensors.

Hm, I need to find some documentation for the vehicle test modes – it’s very likely that they are proprietary (and that information is very difficult to find!).

Leave it with me and I’ll see if I can at least add the functionality to the app for people to add commands themselves. Might take a release or two.

I know this is an old thread but I’m bumping it. I just passed on a repair job because I need to use my scanner to command the fuel pump on, and I have Torque as my scanner. Other things like commanding abs to cycle cylinders during brake bleeding, and cycling the IAC or Evan purge valves. I’m sure at least some is this is publicly available as part of the obd2 protocol and some is indeed proprietary.
This ability would immediately launch Torque into the same class as many 0+ scanners!
Any progress?

it would also make the appt worth much more money I would give at least a hundred for this one

Would love to see bidirectional capability. That would be awesome for the ability truely control the vehicle for troubleshooting and to someday even change performance like a tuner

There is a SEND OBD COMMAND display
that can send commands like a terminal
program. It is still up to the user to provide
any specific commands necessary as these
are typically proprietary like Ian discussed
before and not publically disclosed.

Their is a reason those high end scanners cost so much. They have to pay for the rights to use all these control codes for veh. Manufacturers don’t just give em away. The same goes for scanners you get what u pay for…

I just started reading the thread as I am interested in this scanner and wondering if possible upgrades in the future are going to be available. Such as getting into other controllers and by functional testing. Not only in lite vehicles as well as heavy trucks.

It’d be well worth it to pay more for a truly professional app vs just watching data and the ability to read and clear codes in select controllers.

I do own scanners that have the ability but it’d be nice to get away from the expenses of the updates. Considering that you can only update for so many times before the high end scan tool is obsolete.
