Hi!

That sounds like a faulty adapter (the error counts should always be 0 on properly functioning kit) – it sounds like the adapter has failed (not uncommon for the clones) – in this case its likely the clone elm327 chip is faulty. Torque is noticing it breaking and tries to reconnect to fix the issue, however as it’s hardware related it requires the hardware to be fixed (ie: replacement adapter)

There is a list of adapters on the wiki (linked above) and comments next to them. Not all the clones are bad, but there are so many ebay/amazon vendors it’s impossible for me to keep track (and I’d rather spend time improving the app), so ones like the PLX, OBDLink and OBDKey adapters are generally the most reliable ones (and better constructed!)

I am replying here because I am having similar problem and have been looking on this forum and found this. I have a Veepeak WiFi adapter and first tried Torque Lite yesterday on my 2016 Acura. Worked fine so I thought go ahead and buy the pro version. Installed Pro and it will not connect. Get the same as you, Connected to Adapter but no Connection to ECU. Tried it in my 2014 Lincoln MKZ hybrid and same deal. Works with Lite but Pro won’t connect to ECU. Does it make sense that Lite works OK but Pro won’t connect to ECU? Guess it is adapter / wifi related but ?? I am running on a Nexus 10 tablet. Tried uninstalling Lite and rebooting but Pro still won’t work. Went back and installed Lite and bingo it works just like first time. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks for reply. Yes, I can see Torque Lite trying all the protocols on top line then the car stops blinking. Pro is stuck on saying “Nissan Protocol is in beta”. Maybe I accidentally hit some Nissan setting by mistake but can’t find it in settings. How do I reset Torque Pro back to original settings? Do I have to tell him the correct protocol? Do I uninstall then download again?

Yes! That worked with the “Veepeak wifi with power button” adapter. I think I accidentally brushed the protocol list and got it set to Nissan when I first set up the vehicle profile. There are sure a bunch of “settings” in Torque. Will need to think a lot to get it all configured. May even demand I get a dedicated cheap Android tablet to leave mounted. First will try to figure out a way to hang my Nexus 10 on dash. No good looking in the passenger seat. Have an Ultragauge on the Lincoln hybrid but Torque can do much more. Thanks again.

I found my problem with getting Torque Pro to connect to the Veepeak wifi adapter and then to the ECU. Has something to do with killing out all “services” and torque from the Nexus 10 android tablet. I had never gone in their “settings” and displayed all running apps. Even tho I had X’ed out Torque from the background tasks there were still two services plus some vestige of Torque showing in the true Task Manager list. When I kill them out and fire up Torque Pro again, he goes into the fast protocol search rather then just saying “Connecton failed”. Connected and ran a short drive to test with logging turned on. All looks good. This was devious however needing to know more about how the Nexus 10 handles previously run apps. Sorry for the excess posts and misleading symptoms.

Hi I’m new user, I’m trying to get torque to work, I’m using a vas5054 obd adapter which works with VAS vw software, I’m would like to know if it’s the adapter or software problem, before I purchase another adapter. I got Torque to connect to the adapter through Bluetooth but it does not connect to the ecu.any help would be appreciated..thx

I recently purchased this VeePeak adapter from amazon

appears to work fine with Torque Pro on my Blackberry Passport connected to my 2017 Kia. And it even has three cute little LEDS in the form of a stop light that wink at you constantly for power, RX and TX is my guess.

LATER EDIT

After about three weeks this little puppy died. Up until then it was working fine.

However, the company has shipped me a replacement and we shall see how it holds up.

re: my previous post;

Ooops, my bad (wretched newbie that I be).

It turned out that the tablet I was using WILL NOT communicate via blu tooth when in Airplane mode – probably not when connected to my wireless DSL router either.

This seems reasonable, there could be all sorts of problems if one COULD connect to two or more different network types at the same time – so this could be a general issue.

So, now connected to the Durango, on to the Duramax truck next.

Then, to infinity and beyond.

Does Torque (Free) need to be uninstalled before the Pro version will function correctly?

no it doesn’t i have an elms327 that only works with lite
(free ) and another kiwi 3 that works with both on one device and not at all on my other device ? both Android ?

not all adapters will read the same amount of pids
i have a plx kiwi 3 BT 4 and it reads more pids in torque then the elms327 mini witch i all so have
i have no idea way this is but it is a pain as the (kiwi3 BT4 wont pair to my indash head unit anroid 4.4.4 S160 but works fine with my note 8 android ver 4.2.4 ) but shows the TFT pid in PX ranger that i want to use on the indash unit
