    All those 14 battery voltage indicators are useful, but you will need to test drive the car while looking at the numbers to really see if any of the cells are deviating from the rest.

    Yes it can. Check for torque. Tech stream you need a mini vci cable - mangoose cable.

    Serge is saying you don't need Techstream. He prefers the Torque app and is suggesting that Abdullah Jordan use Google to search for PIDS to add. There are extensive threads on this elsewhere on this forum - search.
