UPDATE to the UPDATE: Sometimes it's the obvious things that get you...the OBD port shares the same fuse as the cig lighter, which I never use. The power port works fine, but I just tested the cig ligher and nothing. Fuse no 3, 20 amp was blown. Don't you know it's subzero outside and the only fuse not in my stash is a 20 a amp. Off to the auto parts store.

For those of us who have not used the app, You can use the built in custom PID list for "FORD INCL POWERSTROKE" It has most of the PID's already there. But, if you know how to add these it'll help.
Oh well, a new fuse fixed the problem. The Koolertron model works fine with a 1st gen Expy using the Torque App and identified a known P0156 code for a bad 02 sensor (son's previous exhaust mod).

Some other things to watch for with the ELM units and Torque, sometimes it won't pair depending on what phone is used. Works great with my LG Lucid but NOT Motorola Droid X2!!! I think it is something with the bluetooth setup on the phone.

Transmission temp?....
Those of you that have and use this device and app.....
I'm considering getting this reader Amazon.com: Vgate ELM327 Bluetooth Scan Tool OBD2 OBDII Scanner for TORQUE APP ANDROID: Automotive
and using Torque Pro for an upcoming trip. Or I may go with the Koolertron or maybe the Yongtek...I dunno yet...
What I'd like to know is this: Will an 05 Expy provide tranny temp information? Gonna be towing a 28' Ultra Lite and wanted to be able to monitor a few things. SWMBO doesn't really want a stack of gauge pods on the A-pillar or under the dash, and I kinda agree...this is, after all, her DD.
Anyone know?......
Thanx!
