Unless it's a limitation of Torque-Lite, I've found it only interfaces with the ECU, and not the other multitude of computers in a modern automobile. For example on my Dodge Charger (2011) and Subaru Outback (2006), the ECU only provided specific information about the engine. Transmission information is a different computer, and not accessible from Torque-Lite. Also, I could not access the body computer, to get a read out on battery voltage, etc.
I would hazard to guess a properly equipped scan-tool would know how to access these additional computers.
The manufactures are not releasing info about the multitude of computers in your car, just the ECU. You need to speak to the manufactures!
I have a 2K5 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has the "multitude of computers" I can only see the standard data from the ECU. All the other computers? You have to go to the dealer.
Sucks, especially for the independent mechanics who don't have access to this data. The mechanics at the dealer? They are too busy going to classes to learn all these systems.
