I see we both have 03(s) too. Maybe some one using the same setup will chime in.

Under Settings, in the ODBII Adapter settings: try unchecking Faster Communications (if it is checked) and if that doesn't work check the Disable ELM327 auto timing adjust.

I think the BAFX is one of the better ELM327s out there and you shouldn't need to do this, but if you are having connection problems... If it works I'd get a replacement BAFX. My el-cheap-o China unit can handle Fast Comms and a ton of PIDs up in real-time at once...

It reads my ECT in real time but drops out the EOT. So I know the adapter is talking to the ECU. Frustrating.

That is one of the symptoms if it is not in sync. communicating -- it drops some, maybe you'll get an error, but mostly it's there sometimes and not others. Did you try slowing it down?

I just got a new Galaxy S7 and Torque Pro is working great except for it wont recognize any fault codes but it will clear them. Any ideas.

I have tried slowing it down. I did find this interesting though

It list three protocols for communications.

Got it working. Had to set the protocol in my profile to "Automatic Thorough" and it hooked right up. I did also re-pair it with my phone.

Glad you figured it out. I have a 95 7.3 and torque lite debating on going pro. Does anyone have this issue? When I go to do anything that requires it to ask a question read codes or clear codes etc it makes my engine sputter or completely kills it. I also get the showing XX errors/codes but has none when i go to the other screen even with the cel on. Is mine just too old for it to work right?

I've had the re-pairing thing work for cars that will Bluetooth to your phone, so maybe it was a bluetooth thing -- the BAFX OBDII units are pretty highly regarded for their quality...

I should have welcomed you to FTE, and certainly my toes weren't stepped on -- hope you didn't read that into my post. Check out the forum for your model year here on FTE, if it is anything like this one, a pretty cool group of folks, and very helpful!

Thanks but like the guy said "charlie brown's teacher doing a lot of talking." I'll get my 9 year old to look at it and explain it to me.

In a nut shell it sounds like there is something in the ECU's programming that when you request for the codes it causes the ECU to reset therefore shutting down the truck.
