Have you noticed that the OBDII disconnects at random times? I noticed it today with my phone that's running Torque. The software actually had to re-establish a connection with the Bluetooth OBDII module, and go through all of the protocols before it worked again. Noticed that my Ultragauge would occasionally blank out, and the mileage would be off after that...

 

Hmm... might be your adapter? Never seen it happen with mine. (Running Torque)

 

My UltraGauge sometime does the 'hiccup', but the readings always come back the same .....

 

Same here, they all come back in a few seconds. Never questioned it, just thought, "Oh, well..."

 

I don't think I've ever noticed my Torque Pro disconnect

 

Governmental tapping of the wireless device?? Woody

FRIDAY

Weekend yeaaaaah

 

Ahh.. guess you heard about Verizon too...

I'd check for helicopters shortly after it drops out.. maybe find a tunnel to park in.. turn off cel phone.. etc.

 

The only time I've had this happen on Torque Pro is when turning the car from on to start.

 

Never any issues with the scan gauge on the Black 1 or the torque pro on the blue 1 and both are fine no problems. Check your pin out on the odbII

 

It's happened with both of my tools, the ultragauge and the bluetooth OBDII...takes a minute for the connection to recover.

 

How would I check the pin-out?

 

Look at the connectors on the ODBII socket under the dash and specifically look for corrosion or verdigress on the copper. The best way to clean those is a tuner or electrical spray cleaner that can be had from Radio Shack or a simple pencil eraser works as well. The common denomator here would be the socket and not the devices.

 

I concur, sir...that was my initial thought. I will see what I can do. Thanks for the tip!
