PID experimenting

[fordtruckman2003]

Can someone else check this out?

I think this is PID for oil pressure on 2.7 motor.

Values line up with what I'm getting in Forscan.

220415 appears to return oil pressure in kPa.

More testing and comparison with Forscan I do believe I have correct PID for oil pressure on 2.7 motors. Might work on others but you'll need to test it.


Frustrating when PID that worked on my 2011 don't work on my 2021.

Most frustrating thing ever is the boost.
Two different Ford PID I have for boost that worked on my old truck won't work on this truck. Ugh.

My dash gauge rarely ever moves, but Forscan shows a "measured boost at throttle inlet pressure sensor" that does change. Idle is around 98 kPa. 14 psi.

I can stomp throttle in park and gauge won't move on dash, I can see in Forscan it opens up wastegates.

I can't believe it!

I have been searching for that PID address and equation for better than 2 years.
How the heck did you do that so easily?

It's returning the same value as HPTuner and Forscan on my 3.5 Ecoboost (Powerboost). Although it's in kPa and a slower refresh rate. But I'm NOT complaining. I'm ecstatic!

Thank you thank you thank you

Thanks for confirming that it works.

You can add a conversion to psi if you want.
Torque Pro does this for me when setting up the custom PID and telling it units are kPa.

This should give you psi from kPa.
((A*256)+B)*0.1450377377

I still need to find a Boost PID that works on these new trucks.
No luck with that yet.
Torque Pro and the PID that worked on my old 2011 no longer works on my 2021.
Tried some others I found online that didn't work either.

 

[Snakebitten]

I owe you big time. I will see if I can find a boost pid for you.

Edit: In OBDLink, the boost pid I use is listed in a category called "calculated pids"

It mirrors the boost gauge on my Instrument cluster exactly, as far as value. Except I edited the range on the PID to allow negative values and so it also serves as a vacuum gauge.

 

[Snakebitten]

By the way, you nailed the conversion perfectly!

This should give you psi from kPa.
((A*256)+B)*0.1450377377

 

[Snakebitten]

Exactly how HPTuners reports, when the Powerboost immediately lights ICE, it has the variable oil pressure pump set at stage #2 (high pressure)

After a few seconds at idle, it drops to stage #1 pressure

So nice to finally have that PID on a smartphone app. I still can't believe you just harvested that PID so casually.

@Snakebitten for us slow kids in the back of the classroom, how do I put this into OBD Link?

Google.

OBDLink app looks like a ripoff of Torque down to the exact menu options.
I'll see if it can give me the actual PID that I want. My list of Ford PID are mostly broken for this 2021 truck.

OBDLink, once you add the "enhanced Ford/Lincoln/Mercury" PID package, has far more pids available than Torque Pro. ($7 add if you aren't using the OBDLink MX+ adapter)

And you will have the boost gauge you are after if it's the same for the 2.7 as 3.5.
I'd bet it does.

No worries. Happy to oblige.

Go to "settings"
Then choose "user defined pids"
Then choose "New" from the eclipse.

Configure exactly as below, emphasis on the two values fordtruckman2003 harvested!

Then go to your dashboard and add a gauge. (digital is what I chose)

Point it to your new user defined EOP pid, and whalla!

Thank you! If you’re up my way here in NY, I’ll buy you a steak dinner.

I'd bet it does.

I've had the OBDLink MX for over a decade.
Just never used the Chinese company's app.

While they did steal some basic equations the advanced functions in Torque are not duplicated.

With OBDLink the "Metric to English scale factor" would be the long decimal number if you wanted to simplify the formula part.

Oil Life is simple, might check this works on the other trucks.

 

[fordtruckman2003]

I might make the switch to OBDLink app.

I had to do some researching. I was thinking they were China based but it's the same company in Arizona I bought my first Elm327 box from way back in 2003. Serial cable, big external box with clear window to see the circuit board inside, and cable out of that went to the vehicle. That box didn't work when I bought my 2011 so I upgraded to the OBDLINK MX.

What I have still works fine but the offer of "free" enhanced PID is very tempting. Looking at the app cost every family vehicle I plug into would be another $15. Is it really free or is that only for one vehicle?

 

[Snakebitten]

I'm not convinced that the MX from yesterdecade is the same as the current MX.
Regardless, with the current MX+, the "+" includes one "enhanced package" is included free. If you choose Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, you can use the app on as many Fords as you want. But if one of your vehicles is another make, you would have to pay for the second enhanced package.

OBDLink app with the enhanced pid library for Gen14 F150's is impressive. It's quite the library. And development of the app is pretty active. Lots of updates. (on Android at least)

I have been a Torque Pro customer for several years, but OBDLink offered a huge advantage with the Powerboost. It's stunning how many PIDs are available in the OBDLink Ford/Lincoln/Mercury library.
