I am using the latest pro version with two cars: 1) 2008 Acura TL and 2) 2010 Toyota Sienna. Whenever I use it with the Toyota Sienna, about 30 seconds after the ECU connects, torque announces “Warning: Icy Road Conditions”. This happens even if the car has not yet started to move.

What PIDs are being used to cause Torque to generate this warning? Why is this happening?

Hi!

If you don’t like that particular warning, then you can easily turn them off in the app settings->speech/alarm settings (and changing the options in there to suit what you need)

The icy conditions warning doesn’t need the vehicle to move to work out the conditions it uses the sensors available to determine the conditions

Could you tell us the sensors and criteria it uses to make the announcement? I ask because it seems to do it even when it is well above freezing.

I have a VW CC and it warns me of Icy Conditions when it is 39 degrees or less. You would think that it would be 32 degrees but you forget that their is a lot more to take in to consideration when it comes to the roads freezing over. A couple things to think about is wind chill factor and bridges freeze over at a higher temperature then 32. So for the manufactures to cover their butts in safety they let you know the possibility of ice is around (in my case) 39 degrees and with good research because there is a possibility of ice at around 39 degrees.
