I recently purchased an OBD II reader and am using it with the Android Torque application. I have no fault codes showing, however, on a separate monitoring test I've consistently received FAILS and unfortunately with a lot of searching through forums and other parts of the web have not been able to determine what it means. I'm hoping someone might be able to help before I go down a real rat hole trying to figure it out. These are FAIL messages I get in the test.

My first reaction was incorrect fuel mix, so put some high quality additives into my fuel with no change. If I had to guess it looks like several of my oxygen sensors aren't working properly but not sure what to do with the information.

The vehicle is a 2009 SL63 with 30,000 miles. It seems to run well and I haven't seen a performance difference recently, but I've only had it for about 3,000 miles so it could have been like this when I bought it and wouldn't know the difference. I've done a few 0-60's also using Torque as the reader and have been in the 5.5 - 6.0 second range which I know is slow but that could be just my poor driving.

Here are the full test results (sorry it is lengthy but might provide some additional context?) As you can see, lots of PASS as well, but also the FAIL results.

Any help anyone could provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

James

You are looking at mode 6 data. This should be looked at if you have a light on or have a problem that is intermittent or is hard to figure out. Mode 6 data also needs to be deciphered. The number value your looking at may be correct or it may need to be deciphered($.). To try and explain this would be long and drawn out.
You say you don't have a light on now , so I would not worry.
I hope this helps

mcguirja

It does help. I wasn't certain whether it was something I needed to worry about or not so knowing this can let me put it to rest. Appreciate your response.

Another thing that would be good to do is look at the LIVE data and get use to the values on the screen and how they change. long term and short term fuel trim (STFT LTFT ) is a real great value to study and know. have fun with new tool.
Hope this also helps.

mcguirja

Thanks! I've set up a dashboard that provide real time STFT and LTFT. Also read a couple of articles that gave me a better understanding of how the pieces fit together. Haven't taken it to the road yet, but looking forward to it. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated!
