Torque PIDs...Take 2

[ajpturbo]

Wow just read some more snipets of dsmjims post....he said u dont ever get knock during part throttle?!...its actually really easy to get knock there since timing is really advanced and u are in closed loop running at or near stoic meaning very lean at 14:1 or even leaner.

The guy sounds like he knows enough to get in trouble with tuning...he makes some good points but id throw most of what he says out the window

60-600 ... millivolts?  Every engine has its' own calibration from the manufacturer, and the threshold will change with RPM & load.

So .6 volts from the knock sensor max?

They are typically 0-5 volts, correct?

Does that .6 seem realistic?

What I meant was that you are seeing the readings possibly in millivolts, not actual counts of identified knock.  On my Edge, IIRC, I have seen the counts in ForScan rise with RPM, for example, I will check again the next time I get a chance to log.  Let's say the threshold is 1 V or 1000 mV.  Anything over 1000 would then be a knock event and dealt with accordingly by, for example, retarding timing.  The threshold is not static, as engine behavior changes with RPM & load.

After further reading, I'm pretty sure that you are correct, it is millivolts.

2013 non-PP AWD PIDS don't work. Everything else seems good! Got the latest csv from first page.

Forscan lite reads tire pressure on iPhone. Pids are selected in the body control module. This works on my
'14 Flex EB

Ecoboostsho, thank you for this great work! I'm really appreciate your work and all information is very useful.
I want to share my experience how I've dealt with analyzing serial port activity in a system. It was big problem but i found good solution - http://www.eltima.com/products/serial-port-monitor/.

Anybody unable to read IAT2 ?

I'm pretty sure it worked in the 2013, but I can't get it to work in the 2015.

I bulk imported and everything else works perfectly.

This page is fantastic! Thanks to everyone that has contributed. I used the 13+ Taurus tire pressure pid on my '11 F150 EB and it works great!!

Edit! Maybe it isn't  working so well. I was showing a few pounds Low in a couple tires. I pumped them each up to 39lbs. Got in the truck , started up and when torque came on, it showed them all with 1/2lb of each other, right around 39 each. I drive for a bit, turned off the truck, and when I got going again, they all went back to the value before I pumped them up. Any thoughts?

Anyone have any luck with the battery current pid?

Anyone have any luck with the battery current pid?

As in knowing amperage if the alternator is charging or just current voltage?

Sorry, i should've included the post I was referring. It's the Battery Current PID. Shows amperage.

Ok, so, I'm a little lost, I purchased the bluetooth version of OBDIIlink MX, have downloaded both Torque and OBDlink (both for Android)

1. Which app am I suppose to use (Torque, OBDlink)
2. Depending on which app, where do I get the PIDS file, i.e. the csv file from first page?
3. Do I load the file to my Android phone?
4. Is there a file to download of a preset dashboard and what app is it for?
5. Do I drink beer while installing said files?
6. Why do elephants have big ears?
7. Should I just Google the How-To?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CSV is torque open torque then setting then extended pids  you need to have a file explorer that can view hidden files open extended pids then close it just makes a file so that when you find .torque there will be a folder called extended pids put the CSV in there then go back to torque and open the extended pids then you are able to use them In torque dashboard be the ones with a * in front

If you go thru the datalog section you will find one for obdlink also which is really good also there is a nice dash that you just move to the home of the SD card area

Torque .dash will go in the dashboard folder best looking one I've seen is the tripledial.dash but for me some pids didn't work so I tried just  using another screen to get things close to the same.
You can load the .dash by going to torque/dashboard/settings/layout settings/ import layout

OK, I'll give it a go today and get back to you.

Thanks,

Ok, still lost...

The only folder I have on my Android is "torquelogs".  Do I make a folder in there called extended pids and drop the .csv file in there?

 

[Gjkrisa]

.torque is a hidden file so either es file explorer goto setting and view hidden files or on Windows need to goto folder options and view hidden files.

I have Windows already setup to show hidden files, but it does show on either the SD card or the main phone folder.  The only folder I see is in the main phone folder called "torqueLogs".  I downloaded ES File Explorer to the phone, but it doesn't show up there either, any ideas?
