Torque and transmission settings
#4
1. You must have torque professional about $10 from the Google play store. I purchased a Professional Diagnostic Tool OBD2 for $7.36.
2. I bought a 7 inch android tablet for $45 bucks to use for this application so I did not have gauges so small it would be hard to read.
3. I purchased a iKross 2-in-1 Tablet and Cellphone Adjustable Swing Extended Cup Mount Holder and any 7 inch Tablet and more from Amazon for $23.
This totals around $85 much cheaper than putting in a transmission gauge. The Ikoss stand works excellent in the cup holder for a Chevy Express. I was just trying to find a solution to observe the transmission temp when towing a trailer. This provides me with much more information.
Inside torque professional at the start screen select settings. It will show again Settings. Go to Manage extra PIDs/Sensors. You will find Transmission Fluid Temp (GM Method 2). This works on the Express Van.
You can validate that it works correctly when your car is cold. It should read exactly what you temperature gauge shows because the fluids are cold and at the temperature of the outside air. Once the van is warmed up they will be very different readings.

I should also say the transmission in this picture was lower than normal because I just started the van. The MPG shows instant MPG instead of the average your van shows. This is good in helping you find the best driving solutions to save gas.

I second Darrell's input: The Torque app is awesome! I use the free version which I don't think is crippled - just some small adverts at bottom of screen. It's one of the few free apps that I actually plan to pay for the ad-free version.
One of these days someone is going to make an app that lets us do the tuning, to!
