The Case of The Missing Oil Temp Reading
Situation:
I have Torque installed on my Ca-fi unit. The oil temp sensor reading used to work. Car had an AVO and an Ecutek tune installed. Car also had an AVO catch can installed. AVO Oil cap has a little vent hole. Torque does not recognize sensor any longer. No CELs. No codes in Torque. Any ideas on why my sensor does not appear in Torque any longer? Could the map have an effect? If sensor was disconnected or faulty, wouldn't it show an error code? Thanks! |

As far as I know it shouldn't. You could connect the Bluetooth dongle to a computer and check that way. If it runs the ELM327 or a derivative chip you should be able to run the commands directly from something like hyper terminal/putty and get a reading.
It would be something like: ATZ ATSH7E0 2101 And then you can keep sending it 2101. You should get back a 4 line response. If you get a ? Or a "No Data" then something is possibly wrong. |

I did a little more research - Torque is reporting errors with the ODBC connector now. It was perfect before the tune so my hunch is that the Ecutek and the map have somehow masked the sensors. Torque diagnostics don't even see that the engine reports that it has an oil temp sensor now. I am confident that the sensor exists and is functional. Looks like I am in for a little more research.
Many of the other sensors work just fine. Anyway - I will try some stuff and check with some other torque/ecutek folks and see if they had anything similar. |

The Oil temp is a CAN reading and not a standard OBD II PID like the rest of the stuff (there is a standard PID for oil temp, but the brz doesn't use it). It is a different way of getting the data (message/header/etc.)
Still, I thought ecutek only changed the tables, like most other ecu tuning solutions. You could always ask them. |
