Using the Torque Pro App with your 6.0L Powerstroke.

Posted by ID Speed Shop on 2023 Aug 1st

Using the Torque Pro App with your 6.0L Powerstroke.

We've decided to compile some information for those who want to use the Torque Pro App with your 6.0L Powerstroke.  A lot of this data will be the same for any vehicle, but we received questions on what to monitor and how to monitor and diagnose their truck cheaply and efficiently as possible.  Well, here we go!

  1. Purchase and Install the App:
    • Visit the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS).
    • Search for "Torque Pro" and purchase the app if required. It's a paid app, so you might need to pay a one-time fee to download and use it.
  2. Connect an OBD2 Adapter:
    • Torque Pro requires an OBD2 (On-Board Diagnostics II) Bluetooth or Wi-Fi adapter to communicate with your vehicle's onboard computer.
    • Purchase a compatible OBD2 adapter (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) and ensure it's properly charged or connected.
  3. Enable Bluetooth and Pair the OBD2 Adapter:
    • For Bluetooth OBD2 adapters:
      • Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone.
      • Put the OBD2 adapter into pairing mode (follow the manufacturer's instructions).
      • Pair the adapter with your phone by selecting it in the Bluetooth settings.
    • For Wi-Fi OBD2 adapters:
      • Turn on Wi-Fi on your smartphone.
      • Connect to the Wi-Fi network created by the OBD2 adapter (again, follow the adapter's instructions).
  4. Launch the Torque Pro App:
    • Open the Torque Pro app on your smartphone.
  5. Configure the App:
    • Upon launching the app for the first time, you might need to grant necessary permissions for the app to access your phone's Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
    • In the app, navigate to the "Settings" menu, where you can configure various options related to your vehicle and OBD2 adapter. Ensure that you select the appropriate connection type (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) that matches your OBD2 adapter.
  6. Connect to the OBD2 Adapter:
    • Once the app is properly configured, it should automatically search for and detect the OBD2 adapter.
    • When the adapter is found, select it to establish a connection between the app and the vehicle's onboard computer.
  7. Start Monitoring:
    • With the OBD2 adapter connected, you should now see real-time data from your vehicle's sensors, such as engine RPM, coolant temperature, vehicle speed, fuel consumption, etc.

Setting up 6.0L Power Stroke PIDs (Parameter IDs) in the Torque Pro app requires you to manually input the custom PIDs for your specific vehicle. PIDs are unique codes that correspond to various data parameters from your vehicle's onboard computer. Here's how you can set up custom PIDs for a 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine in Torque Pro:

  1. Find the Correct PIDs:
    • First, you need to identify the specific PIDs that are supported by the 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine. You can find this information in the vehicle's service manual or by searching online forums and resources dedicated to the Ford 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
  2. Open Torque Pro App:
    • Launch the Torque Pro app on your smartphone.
  3. Navigate to Settings:
    • Tap on the three horizontal lines (hamburger icon) in the top-left corner of the app's main screen to open the menu.
    • Select "Settings" from the menu options.
  4. Manage Extra PIDs/Sensors:
    • In the Settings menu, scroll down and locate the "Manage extra PIDs/Sensors" option. Tap on it to access the custom PID setup.
  5. Add a Custom PID:
    • Tap the "+" button or "Add custom PID" to create a new custom PID.
  6. Enter PID Details:
    • In the "Name" field, give a descriptive name for the custom PID (e.g., "Engine Oil Temperature").
    • In the "Short name" field, you can provide a shorter name or leave it blank.
    • In the "PID" field, enter the specific PID code you obtained earlier for the 6.0L Power Stroke parameter you want to monitor.
    • Set the "Minimum value" and "Maximum value" based on the expected range of the parameter. For example, if the engine oil temperature ranges from -40°C to 150°C, set the minimum to -40 and the maximum to 150.
    • Set the "Scale factor" to 1 and the "Unit type" according to the measurement unit of the parameter (e.g., "°C" for degrees Celsius).
  7. Save the Custom PID:
    • After entering all the details, tap on the "OK" or "Save" button to save the custom PID.
  8. Repeat for Other PIDs:
    • If you have more PIDs to add, repeat the process from step 5 for each one.
  9. View Custom PIDs:
    • Once you've added all the custom PIDs, return to the main screen of Torque Pro.
    • Swipe left or right on the screen to access different dashboard screens and locate the custom PIDs you added.

A few custom pids that may not be available.  The list changes as PID's are added:
