Torque Pro Monitoring

I updated my version of a Torque then loaded up all the gauges I was lusting after but I totally failed to display any of these elusive gauges. I'm talking exhaust temp, tranny temp, cyl head temp, engine oil temp. If aero Force could pull them out of the data stream why couldn't Torque?  I got onto the Torque forum and posted that question. I got this answer from the app developer.

"Not all ECU's provide the same information. The manufacturer defines what the standard set of sensors are - you can see this list in the 'Adapter Status' screen near the bottom when you are connected to the ECU. For manufacturer specific sensors you will need to add the relevant extended PIDs (sensors) for that manufacturer. This can be done using some of the 'predefined' PIDs that come with the app, or via third party plugins. If you have a Ford or GM vehicle, then you can try the adding the inbuilt sensors by going to Settings->manage extra sensors/PIDs->add predefined list->GM/Ford/etc.
you can also extend the app by adding custom sensors if you know the information, so hopefully it should be pretty extensible!"
I hope that this info means more to geekier guys than me. I'm going to need a bit more hand holding.
 
They are (obviously) correct.  That's is how we got "knock" to work.  4DR found the PID out on the Internet.  Once you know that you have to be able to figure out the formula.  If the sensor exists on the car there is more than likely a PID for it that we could read with Torque.  Transmission temperature would be fairly trivial to figure out if we knew the PID etc...Ford doesn't publish them and they are often different from car model to car model.  The standard ones are per the OBDII standard so that is why a base set works in Torque.  The Ford PIDs that come with Torque are mostly for older Fords...sadly not our newer ones.

I'm pretty sure the SHO already has a wide band?

AFR in Torque seems to work fine.

Think it's narrowband.  That's why when cars are tuned, the tuner is using a wide band in the exhaust, not the cars ODB-II sensor for AFR.  LMS has already commented about this on other forums.

Thanks. Good info right there. So the same sensors for F150 are all Ecoboost motors?
