Toolpro Auto Diagnostic Scanner Obd2
Oswalda Shutte
I have tried using one of the generic elm 327 bluetooth dongles, but as soon as it is inserted the abs light flashes. I had read online that this may be due to pin 14 and the dongle interffering with the can bus on that port (some people had reccomended disconnecting pin 14) no idea if that information is correct although.
Suggest you have good read through the OBDII thread in the Corolla/Sportivo section. There is a lot of good stuff in there on this subject, especially from the " Sucess I've got it working" section. I used the information to get mine working and I can tell you it's not easy, but it is doable. It works on both my 2001 Camry and 2005 Corolla. Toyota are very protective of their software. It may take a while for you to work it out, but it does work if you follow the steps. The best place to start is from "SUCESS I HAVE IT WORKING!!". That's where most of the info you want is.You will need the Techstream software. It's awhile since I did mine so my memory of what I did do is somewhat faded..But it does work....
I hope I have been of some help and the best of luck to you..By the way one of the things that does happen when you plug it in is, the ABS light does blink!! The ELM327 is not the unit you need. You will need a TIS Compatible one, it's all in that thread...
Stumbled across the same issue with my '04 Avalon and an 'el cheapo eBay ELM327 clone ( $10ish ). Appears to have initial comms error as it operates on a slower BAUD rate on these pre-'05 / '06 cars. Interestingly ELMScan Toyota (available as a free demo on Android Play Store) seemed to not take issue at all and worked seamlessly, even does freeze-frame data for any DTC's thrown.
I have THIS OBD2 dongle, plugged into my 2AZ-FE Camry. I've used the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Motorola Moto G 2015 phones, installed the TORQUE Pro app, configured the vehicle profile for the camry in the app,and down the bottom in "Very Advanced" it looks like this: ATIB 96 \n ATIIA 13 \n ATSH8113F1 \n ATSP A4 \n ATSW00
i also have a tasker profile set up around it, so that when my phone connects to the stereo bluetooth, it starts the Torque app, sets appropriate volume levels, has a plugin to read sms's aloud and clears the lockscreen password, and do the reverse when it disconnects from the OBD
I also have configured the vehicle profile on the Torque pro app using that special line as above and also copied the settings that astol87 uploaded however is does not seem to work.
Can anybody tell me is the bluedriver scantool Bluetooth enabled with a Huawei y330 uo1 is compatible with 2004 Toyota Camry altise 2.4 auto ,2az-fe, can find the device, it pairs up and initialzes ,but won't connect, I would appreciate any help with this teck information ,as im unable to make this work , I need to know if the Camry 04 model is obd2 compliant and what exact protocol Toyota Camry altise uses , thanks for any feed back at all cheers
You are awesome... thank you, I have always used Torque on all of my cars, but I now have a 2005 Camry and I have been very frustrated that Torque won't work on it... and the other apps that I have tried that do work on the Camry, are far less user friendly...!
Thank you soooo much for this post ?
I have tried your Custom Configuration String on my 2003 Camry ACV36R using Torque Pro and 3 different ELM327 adapters but without success.
All I get is a blinking ABS light. Any recent update to your Configuration String?
Hey!
I have a 2002/03 altise, and have been able to connect using a tool from supercheap auto via the OBDII.

Cars have become nothing short of computers on four wheels. The on board diagnostics or simply OBD2, introduced in car models as from 1996, has made it a necessity for every car owner to learn about car diagnostic tools.
The OBD2 is a sophisticated software with so many self-checks to monitor and regulate the functioning of your car and in so doing maintain its good health for the longest time possible. This scanner can even self-correct the vehicles ignition and fuel mixture at every crankshaft revolution. You however need to have an OBD2 scanner to interpret the results from the monitor.
Today you can purchase an OBD2 scanner model for as cheap as $20 for an extremely basic scanner that will only show trouble codes, to about $4000 for an OBD2 scanner with full features, upgradable gadget with a computer interface and that accepts the use of multiple languages.
When connecting the OBD-II scanner cable to the data link connector, be extremely gentle. This is because the 16 pins in the plug are extremely delicate and you can easily bend the pins or crack the plastic around the plug if you push too hard.
This means that if no codes are set (translates to no trouble found) after all the monitors have been run, then your vehicle is running clean and will pass an OBDII plug-in emissions test or a tailpipe smog check.
The trouble code P0131 for example is a general sensor code. What most people will think of doing when they get this code is to install a new sensor with the hope that this will clear the error and turn off the MIL lights. The bad sensor could also trigger a P0301 misfire code.
Sometimes you could have misdiagnosed this trouble code and a new oxygen sensor together with a new sensor socket may not solve the problem. You will know that the problem was not comprehensively solved if after a small spike in the rotational speed of the crankshaft the MIL lights are turned on again.
So unless you have the right tools and training to solve a problem, it is wise to have your vehicle checked at the vehicle repair shop. The good thing is that since you will have already identified the problem using your OBD2 scanner, you will know the kind of service you want.
Investing in a quality OBD2 scanner is something that you should not debate on. This is because the scanner will save you so much money that it will quickly return back the money you invested in it and even give you profits.
In fact, with a quality OB2 scanner, sufficient knowledge in mechanics, and proper automotive tools, you will be able to save 70 percent plus of money that you would have used on vehicle checks and repair.
There will of course still be specific circumstances that will force you to seek the services of a professional mechanic, but since you will have control over your automobile, these incidences will be greatly reduced.
An advanced OBD2 scanner will be very efficient in informing you about the several critical mechanics like service light system, conditioning control, airbag control, and transmission control among others.
Regarding obd2 scanners, bought one from eBay to diagnose Toyota fault codes and turn off check engine light. Vehicle model year is after the stated earliest model year supported 1996, so supports OBD2. The product description did not include Toyota corolla, however the obd2 scanner luckily showed Corolla in menu (strange!). And regarding turning off check engine light, there is no instruction in the paper manual or option on the menu. we were only able to find resetting all codes. Satisfied with my obd2 scanner.
Unlike carburetors or previous mechanical fuel-injection systems, electronic fuel injection (EFI) requires computer control. Like its predecessors, EFI regulates fuel flow into the engine, but it does so using electronic signals rather than mechanical bits. That created the first major need to put computers in cars.
Just decided to purchase a OBD2 scanner from reading this and realized wish had bought one earlier! The small Autel obd2 unit works great and easy to use on my 2005 and 2008 vehicles. Based on auto parts store scans due to check engine light, I thought I had to do expensive fixing to pass emissions test. I easily cleared the codes with the obd2 scanner and the codes never came back and car passed emissions. The scanner also identified a legit code on another car so I would replace the part and avoid the check engine light. Instruction manual is concise. Identifies codes, clears codes, and shows when car is ready to pass emissions inspection.
Considering mechanic charges $70 just to scan the car codes (not including fixing anything). This takes mechanic literally 30 seconds to whip in their OBD2 scanner into your cars port. Get an output. Print it out. And invoice you $70.
Bought the ANCEL AD310. This is an excellent obd2 tool, with many more features than OBD2 scanners costing a lot more. Made it much easier to diagnose my emissions problem, and once fixed, I could safely reset codes.
That is true in Wisconsin. My battery died in my vehicle and all codes cleared. I decided to reset the codes. After hundreds of miles of driving I could not get the IM readiness test to pass. My reader kept showing three monitors not ready. No check engine light, but could not pass the emissions test because my vehicle was rejected.
Took the car out again today and had this plugged in the whole time. Finally after putting over 250 miles on my car the problem light showed the ok signal. Back to the smog shop and showed the tech to check via obd2. He thought this was pretty cool. Smog done! California sucks when it comes to this stuff so now I really polluted the air.
Yes never unplug or replace the battery before smog time because it will fail. Been there and done that too. Each manufacturer has a drive routine that must be accomplished in order for all the systems to be ready for smog check. 250 miles was a lot of driving on your part to accomplish this. Once I learned my cars driving needs, I was able to do them in about 30 minutes and drive right back to ththe smog place and have it pass.
