Every control module, not just the engine
A cheap scanner shows engine codes only. TORKO queries every module — ABS, airbags, climate, gateway — and sweeps the bus for the ones not on the list.
Find out what is really going on in your car
TORKO connects to an OBD2 adapter and reads every control module, fault code and the odometer in a couple of minutes. Faults are explained in plain language and the whole history is kept against the car's VIN.
Android 8 or newer, iOS 16 or newer. A BLE or WiFi OBD2 adapter is required.
What TORKO does
Faults in plain language
Every code is explained in plain language: what happened, whether you can drive, likely causes and a realistic repair cost range. Ten AI explanations a month, free.
History per VIN
Every scan is stored against the car's VIN. If a fault was cleared before a sale and came back, you see it.
Mileage from every module
Mileage does not live only in the cluster. We read it from several modules — a spread between them is direct evidence of a rollback.
Clear faults in every module
Not just the engine (Mode 04) but ABS, airbags and comfort modules too — the way professional tools do it.
Live data and a PDF report
RPM, temperature and voltage in real time. The report is something you can hand to a buyer or a workshop.
Every module, read one by one
The scan asks each control unit in turn — engine, gearbox, ABS, airbags, camera, radar, gateway — and reads the VIN back out of each one. You see which modules answered and which stayed silent, so a partial scan can never look like a clean car.
How it works
- 1
Plug in the adapter
Put the OBD2 adapter in the socket under the wheel and switch the ignition on.
- 2
Pick it in the app
The scan starts automatically — nothing to press.
- 3
Get the answer
Every module, the faults, the mileage and the explanations — in a couple of minutes.
A full scan, from your phone
Plug the adapter in, switch the ignition on, and the app does the rest. The result is a screen you can hand to a buyer or a workshop, and a history that stays with the VIN for the life of the car.
Diagnostics that go further than a code reader
Health score for every system
Engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, emissions and battery each get a score out of 100, and the car gets an overall figure. Faults that came back after being cleared cost more points than fresh ones, because they are unresolved.
Pre-purchase check
One screen before you hand over the money: VIN read from the car, stored and returned faults, mileage agreement across control modules, emissions self-tests, and a buying risk of low, medium or high.
Road test — faults that only appear while driving
Drive normally for ten minutes while the app records everything the ECU reports. It then tells you if the thermostat never closed, the fuel trims are fighting an air leak, the alternator stops charging or the turbo no longer builds boost — none of which set a fault code.
AI diagnosis from live values
Instead of "P0171 — system too lean", you get: fuel trims +24%, air flow 2.1 g/s, so 45% a vacuum leak, 25% a tired air flow sensor — and the single next test that separates them.
Was the fault memory just wiped?
The car's emissions self-tests restart whenever the memory is erased. If several are still incomplete on a car for sale, you will know — worded carefully, because it is a signal, not an accusation.
Real fuel consumption
Live l/100 km from the engine's own fuel rate (or air flow), with trip distance, litres burned and the average — plus 27 live parameters from fuel trims to oil temperature.
The check before you buy
Ten minutes with the seller's car and an adapter tells you more than the advert ever will: what the modules are failing right now, what they only remember, whether the mileage agrees across the car, and whether the fault memory was wiped last week.
Newer than most tools have
The vehicle passport
One document per VIN: what was read, from how many modules, the mileage every module reported, the airbag crash counters, the DPF state and the battery. It says what it could NOT reach as plainly as what it could.
Failing now vs. only remembered
A module keeps a fault log; a long log is not a broken car. TORKO reads the status byte the car answers with and separates what is failing at this moment from what the car merely wrote down — and says when no module is asking for a warning lamp.
Proof of what clearing did
Clear the memory and TORKO re-reads every module afterwards, recording which faults went, which came straight back, and which the gateway refused to clear. A fault that returns in seconds was never repaired.
Freeze frame and live charts
What the car was doing at the moment the fault was stored — mileage, temperature, load, speed — plus live graphs with a history buffer, so a value that spikes for half a second is still on screen.
Service book and mileage record
Log repairs and services against the VIN with the mileage confirmed by the car itself, not typed from memory. It is the record that raises the price when you come to sell.
Export, replay and tyre pressures
Every scan exports as CSV or JSON, a road test can be replayed step by step, and the tyre-pressure module is read wheel by wheel where the car has one.
Free, in your language
Every feature above is free right now. An account is required so your car's history is stored against its VIN and reachable from any device.

Frequently asked questions
Which adapters do I need?
A Bluetooth LE or WiFi ELM327-type adapter (OBDLink CX/MX+, Vgate vLinker, Veepeak BLE+). Classic Bluetooth (SPP) adapters do not work with iPhone, and locked devices (FIXD, Carly, OBDeleven) only work with their own apps.
Which cars are supported?
Standard OBD2 works on every petrol car from 2001 and diesel from 2004 in the EU. The full multi-module scan is fully calibrated for the VW group (VW, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, Cupra) today; other makes are being added.
Is the app free?
Yes. Every feature is free right now, and each user gets 10 AI explanations per month.
Can I clear fault codes?
Yes — and not only the engine ones. But clearing does not repair anything: if the cause is still there the fault returns, and the history keeps a note that it was cleared.
Why do I need an account?
So the diagnostic history is stored against the VIN and reachable from any device — that history is the most valuable part when buying or selling a car.
Can it reset the service interval?
On newer VW group cars (2020+, MQB Evo) service reset and coding are locked by the factory SFD protection, which needs a manufacturer token. All read functions (faults, mileage, live data) work everywhere.
Which languages does the app speak?
English, Lithuanian, German, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, French, Romanian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Estonian, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish. It follows your phone's language and can be changed in Settings.
Do I need to be driving for the road test?
Yes — that is the point. Around ten minutes of normal driving, ideally from a cold start, with one firm acceleration. Let a passenger handle the phone; never operate the app while driving.
