I have connected my AU2 to FORScan via a laptop with some success [also a BF & hopefully shortly a BA as well], but currently still learning. there are a 'few' members on here who have used it on the AU & up models with success, however I do not know anything about "tourqe pro" sorry. also just be aware that NOT all elm's are created equal on ebay. |

So to Clarify - An AU Does not do OBD2, and so Torque wont give a lot of useful info.
FORSCAN will however give you lots of info. It can see the PCM, Cluster, ABS on the bus and show the fault codes. FORSCAN is free. |

I've used ForScan for my AUII via ELM3207 connector.
From my understanding the Ford AUII is not fully OBDII compliant, it's only partially compliant. After a certain year i.e. after 2000. That's the impression I got from the Ford Techs, whether its true or not is something else. Yes, it can provide Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and can reset trouble codes. |
