Torque Pro is a popular OBD2 Bluetooth app, offering extensive vehicle data access. Users, particularly Subaru owners, appreciate the detailed information available through the app, often surpassing data accessible in older vehicle models. This suggests advancements in data standardization and output within the automotive industry over recent years. However, some users have reported performance issues, particularly lag when navigating menus and selecting PIDs (Parameter IDs) for dashboard customization. This lag is likely attributed to the lack of recent updates to the Torque Pro app. The desire for a more updated and optimized alternative with similar customization features highlights the demand for a powerful and responsive OBD2 Bluetooth solution. ActiveOBD, specifically designed for Subaru vehicles, presents a viable alternative to Torque Pro. It offers additional data points, including comprehensive AWD monitoring, valuable for off-roading or driving in challenging conditions.
One common question among Subaru Outback owners, particularly those with 2010 models, concerns accessing specific tire pressure values through OBD2. While TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems) became mandatory in 2008, many vehicles, including the 2010 Outback, only display a warning light indicating underinflated or overinflated tires, without showing precise pressure readings. Although it might seem logical to access this data via the OBDII port using an Ssm Obd2 Bluetooth adapter and an app like Torque Pro or ActiveOBD, finding the corresponding PID or sensor can be challenging. Unfortunately, tire pressure values are often not directly accessible through standard OBDII protocols.
Exploring custom or non-standard PIDs within Torque Pro might offer a potential solution, but information regarding accessing tire pressure data for the 2010 Outback through OBDII remains elusive. While readily available solutions for directly accessing tire pressure values via OBDII for this specific model might be limited, the broader capabilities of SSM OBD2 Bluetooth adapters and apps like Torque Pro and ActiveOBD continue to offer valuable diagnostic and monitoring capabilities for Subaru owners. The ability to monitor various engine parameters, AWD performance, and other crucial data points empowers users to better understand and maintain their vehicles.
