OBDII Connector
 

Any of you in Oz or NZ got an iPhone, android or PC hooked up to and working with the OBDII connector? Yes I have tried :search: and have found some discussion in USA forum but nothing on the Australasian forum so not sure if our connectors are "live".

If you have got it working can you get real time oil temp?

And, what connector/transmitter are you using, what reader (iPhone, android, laptop) and what app or software.

Some talk of it here,

bluetooth OBD + Android phone + torque app.

fin.

Which bluetooth OBD sender do you use?

No real time oil temp. Link to the one I use in my Sig.

Code 01 5C 1 on this wikipedia list (assuming correct) seems to indicate it is the oil temp code. Can we not get real time data as there's no actual oil temp sensor on the car or some other reason?

I have the same one at home as Yruyur.

Just need a car :)

Looking at Torque, it should be possible as you can add custom PID's. Just added mine. I just don't know if our vehicles output Oil Temp.

Perhaps someone can try?

Torque Settings -> Manage available OBD2 PIDs
Add Custom PID


OBD2 PID:
015C (may need a space between 01 and 5C)
Long Name:
Engine Oil Temp (Change this to your liking)
Short Name:
Oil (Change this to your liking)
Min Value:
-40
Max Value:
210
Scale Factor:
x1
Unit Type:
°C
Equation:
A-40


If I understand correctly, if you want Fahrenheit replace A-40 in the equation above with: 9/5*(A-8)

I was looking for that PID I will try using it. I was told there is a sensor and the Toyota software can read it but not confirmed.

Be very interested to hear if that PID works if you can test pretty please!

Testing now...we when my car gets done being washed.

I use the ELM 127 obd2 bluetooth adapter (amazon for 10$)
and torque app for galaxy nexus/asus tablet from google play (5$)


Works great, and the addon's for torque to get video overlay of your inputs for logging is free and pretty sweet

You mean the oil temp works?

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

Not working.

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

Just tested it
NOT work for oil temp
Anything else I can try?

I put a space what about you

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

no space

Don't you have a list of PID's and can scan for all of them like on the dashcommander?
Perhaps that code you are looking for isn't a temperature readout, but a switch? As in if that code logs the temp went higher than allowed?

Edit no I was wrong its bit a switch lol
Sorry

Next question, does toyota use SAE oil temp code or their own one?

Using the ecutek cable and the software is reporting live engine oil temp. Now if we could get the damn pid.

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

Thats a great breakthrough Yruyur. Keep us informed as this would be extremely useful. Now if we could measure oil pressure that would be awesome.

Anyone know the pid used for a wrx?

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

Anyone else that got an elm that has the free software that came with them? I think there was some scanning software

Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk

Not sure if the scan tool is actually used to determine PID's, any way you can pull it from EcuTek somehow?

On an ebay description for one here is what it says;
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200825637966?...#ht_7900wt_922

Software Included:
Scantool_net113win (Full Version)
EasyOBDII V2.2 (Full Version)
OBD2Spy (Demo Version)
ScanMaster-ELM (Demo Version)
wOBDCRAZY (Demo Version)
This hardware can match many other software still! But most are not free.
Packing List
1*EOBD / OBD2 Main Unit
1*CD-ROM

I looked within ecutek software and didn't see anything. Someone needs to find a friend that has access to techstream to see if it can be pulled from there.

There is a free PID scanner plugin for torque. I ran a full scan for over 30 minutes then it froze on me. Ran a quick one and this is what it is reporting as discovered.....what it means I have no clue.

Anyone else want to give it a try?

maybe this can be of assistance to you? got it froma thread on the torque forums

1) Get the TorqueScan plugin.
2) Run the TorqueScan application on your car – this may take 3+ hours depending on how many actual PID’s (think of them as memory addresses in a computer/PLC). If you are looking for a temp sensor – run this scan on a completely cold car to use the known temp sensors (coolant is pretty universal) to have as a baseline of what other temp modules would have. Learn how you would test/verify the data of the sensor you are looking for (IE: my next step is to find the KR PID – I’ll be tapping near my knock sensor watching 6 PIDs at a time to see if any respond – PIDs that measured Zero on scan).
3) Take the PID scan results and save them in notepad (forces you to email them to Ian I believe) and look at (traditionally mode 22 PIDs for GM’s – not sure for other brands protocols). and draw a line down in a column that provides the payload data from each return of the PID. IE: Command:222002 repsonse: 62 20 02 FF The 62 20 02 is the response of the PID address, the FF is the data.
4) The data is provided in Hex – convert to decimal to get a rough gauge of what it could mean. (temp sensors typically are A-40 – take that in mind).
5) Have a beer, relax, and look through all data values that seem they may be near/around a known data value. IE: My coolant temp sensor cold was data value ’43′hex = 67decimal. Then I take 67-40(per the formula) = 27. 27*C = 80.6*F. A bit of simple math here may help get a rough idea… you could confirm this with your dash display – if you have coolant temp/air temp.
6) With some of the PID’s that could work, test them out – make a few test PID configs, map them in the dashboard view and see how they respond. See if you can confirm this information via other means (thermometer/etc). This is how I found my IAT2.
7) Come back to the forum, share your results – pass a beer to a friend and enjoy the fruits of your labor (Diagnostic reverse engineering can be fun! share with a friend!)
Thanks,
Matt

also does anyone have an account to the Toyota TIS?
might be a way to get the codes..

techinfo.toyota.com

You have a link to that discussion?

here it is, the post i sent you was the very last post in it, but the thread starts off with a guy asking how to get pid's which in turn resulted into someone being able to reverse engineer pid's and so on, I only read the first two pages and then went to the last page and found that, because I have just about no clue what to do with any of this information lmao. If you search on the forum "toyota pid" you might be able to find some more stuff.

I pick up my car sometime this week. I think I will ask the dealer if they can assist. They seemed helpful thus far and it would benefit their TRD kitted demo car.

Otherwise, I will sit down on the weekend and try this out (if I can resist driving it that is :) )

Excellent Luka. I have the same ELM on order as you so if you could simply do all of the leg work and get it working and then give me the answer that would be "most excellent!". :thumbup:

I may get into the game with the scanning.

I ended up getting the HKS OB-Link hooked up to a 7" android tablet.

Works perfectly and has the oil temp that we haven't been able to get the code working for.

Check out the post from here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=23305&page=6

I tried the car scope with the kiwi/PLX Bluetooth adapter and the software refuses to pair with the BT module. I don't know what HKS did to get oil temp, but now I see why that ob-link adapter is so much money. I'm not ready to drop that much right now :(

I think carscope only works with the HKS OB-Link. There's lots of other apps that work with the Kiwi Plx Bluetooth and the Kiwi Plx wifi but not carscope. See my next post about all the combos I have tried for oil temp

@lazyluka and @F1point4 and anyone else interested:

Damn, tried the kiwi2 plx wifi connector with all the iPhone apps that seem compatible AND the ELM327 with three android apps and NONE showed real time oil temp.

Then tried the oil temp PID from Wikipedia and no data received.

So, looks like my earlier solution with the HKS OB-Link is the only way I can see to get real time oil temp. Cost is approx US$300 for the OB-Link, the carscope app is free, and if you have an android phone that is all you need other than a suction mount for your android phone that you can get cheap from eBay. At this stage the HKS OB-Link is not compatible with iPhone.

For a really nice look you can link to an installed 7" tablet in your dash or suction mount to the screen.

I see there's also some really expensive JVC and Pioneer head units that may allow their touch screen to control the android app and that would be pretty cool.

Bad news is that unless someone else can work out a solution the cheaper ELM327 and Kiwi plx connectors won't give you real time oil temp and the cost of the OB-Link is pretty steep if that is all you want it for.

Sorry I can't be of any more help unless some IT geeks have anything else to try. :iono:

Anyone have time to do the oil temp reverse engineer procedure in this other thread

Seems to me that the watching what PIDs change over time as suggested is likely the only way we'll get to the bottom of it. I don't have the patience or skill to make this a simple job!

Although the PID wiki reports 01 5c as oil temp the guys from DashCommand advised me they have not seen that PID working on any car. So, HKS must be getting it from the correct PID. I haven't contacted them about it as don't think they will (or should) share how they have it working.

Hi,

You can get the HKS for cheaper than that(but not much). One of the vendors here @HKS Australia sells them slightly cheaper than that. Anyone looking for one.. ask for Bruce or Martin and I'm sure they'll fix you up a nice price. They did for me :P

Also have you considered going for an android head unit with your car? I'll be going for that one to use in conjuction with my HKS OB-Link and Blackvue cameras. The HU is around 6-700 shipped(it's also mentioned in my build thread below).

Yep, have been considering it or simply the tablet mounted as a head unit running apps for music etc. Meeting up with a guy next week to look at options as I don't have the knowledge/skill to install myself.

Android HU <-> (CarScope)HKS OB-Link
 

Nice ok. I've heard from another forum member that some android head units won't communicated via BT with the HKS OB-Link..

I don't see how it won't because its an Android App(Carscope) but we'll see. I just gotta wait until I get my BeatSonic 2DIN side covers then I'll get it installed with my BlackVue cameras. Also need to wait till I get my BlackVue Power Magic Pro. I'll keep anyone who's interested with Android HU/HKS OB-link compatability updated here and the other thread.. and of course my build thread ;)

I really hope it works though, as then the HU will look kinda like the LCD monitors in the R34 GT-R's :P Looks all nice and OEM-like
