Where to see Battery Charge Level indicator?

[BHunted1]

This is a tad more expensive but recommended by Forscan. Been using it awhile now with no issues.

Torque picked up the extended PIDs with all of the hybrid stuff, and possibly more.

Wow! Ok maybe the paid version has an option to request/scan for PIDs or something. I've only tried the free (lite) one.

 

[imnuts]

Yeah, that may be the difference as I have pro/paid version. I bought it many, many years ago, so I don't even know how much it is anymore.

I, too, have the paid version and the HBATT PID was available in extended PID list.

 

[daemonic3]

$5 for the pro version and it works right off the bat.

Now, I see that we can get the HV battery charge state, but I can't seem to get the other battery stats (like current, power, temp) like others showed in forscan. So we know they are available but they must have different PIDs than torque is expecting.

There is a different PID earlier in the list that gives the battery state of charge. But this section below has more stats that I want but they are grayed out. Is that the same for others using torque (without adding custom PIDs)?

I tried adding some grayed out ones in case I get lucky but no dice.

John I just started forscan today. I only changed a few basics (that didn't require spreadsheet yet) like double honk, passenger seatbelt, and the missing Trip/Fuel cards for my Job1.

I did see a "battery gauge (enabled/disabled)" option that was currently disabled. Have you already tried that? I assume it does nothing or we'd all know about it.

Can you elaborate on the Trip/Fuel cards ? I can’t find any info on that. Thanks

a '22 powerboost truck or 2nd half '21 will have Trip meter and Fuel Economy cards in the sync screen on the right. Original '21 powerboost trucks do not, you have to enable it with Forscan.

I think Ford's reasoning for not exposing this information is because they don't expect this truck to be treated like what most people consider a hybrid. It's "poweboost" so the hybrid is mean to help with normal engine operation with some hybrid like use. I can get the truck to run in only electric for long periods, but it takes a lot of babying (unless I'm cruising around 45). As I own the truck more, I have just reserved myself to using hybrid driving techniques (utilize regen braking as much as you can with coasting, etc), but that I don't expect to get a lot of "electric only" miles.

I still think it would be cool if they showed it, but I don't expect them to. I may find a cheap tablet and "mount" it in the truck with something like Torque to have an extended "dash" screen.

Ok, i have it. I was thinking for it was a card where you can see the amount of fuel used on a current trip…

You can actually! Use Trip1/2 card and reset at the beginning. When done, take the miles and divide by the MPG, and you get gallons. I guess a math whiz could continually do this in their head throughout the trip to get cumulative gallons used.

That’s what I’m doing now. I am looking for a easiest way…

Well I checked in Torque to see if the truck is sending that info for easy viewing and it doesn't seem to be. That code is grayed out, versus the other "trip" codes that are valid.

There is one right after key OFF on my truck.
