PID setup for VERY accurate fuel remaining credit to developer:

So I know that there are other PIDs that can be configured because you can get this information on the Vbox Lite Data logger. I downloaded the CAN log for a Toyota GT86 and the following are available. However, I have no idea how to figure out get the info I need to setup the PIDs myself. If anyone knows the info or knows how to access it, please let me know.


Would love to get the setup info for Torque Pro;

• Gear
• Steer angle
• Brake Travel
• Clutch
• WSP FL, FR, RL, RR (I'm gessing this is Wheel speed?)
• TRC Mode

The following are in Torque Pro

• RPM
• Accel
• Coolant Temp
• Throttle
• Oil Temp (thanks to the above)

For example:

E_IAM_4byteExt_E31 FFF816F4

I don't believe you can use these. the are the direct RAM address of the data location in the ECU. Each variant of the ECU rom for different countries may store this data in a different RAM location. Even newer USA ECU ROM's ie the B01C roms , store data in different locations in the ecu than the older A01C series.

This requires you to have a device that can directly read individual ram addresses from the ECU using a different mode than what torque uses.

The thread you linked and the ram addresses are the result of many hours of work by the ecu reverse engineer gurus over at RomRaider.

Torque is a generic app and only sends requests for generic PID or Parameter ID codes from the ECU. Manufacturese provide a standard set of these codes and some manufacturese provide a few extra codes specific to particular vehicles for standard diagnostic devices (OBD readers) and dealer scantools ect to read.

If the ECU code does not provide the PID then you won't be ab;e to read it with torque.

you would need a device like Tactrix which can also flash ecu, that allows direct access to read RAM addresses, its a more sofisticated device than a straight obd code reader.

Hello. Could someone help me in setting the vehicle profile for 2014 brz. Thanks.

[randomthoughts]

Well I finally had some time to play around and build a couple torque screens. These are not my final screens. I will change some of the displays later, was just trying to get an idea of a layout.

Any input guys would be appreciated. Torque just can't/stop reading my car profile anymore in my SD. SD card is functional because I can still play music stored in my card. I cleared cache and data already from app manager and still no luck. 😢

I'm not really sure what your saying the issue is. Can you send a screenshot?

Can you share that layout with us? Like export?

How are people getting Oil Temp, I've tried the custom PID in post two and get no data and read further on that it's available as default.

I can't get an data via the Engine Oil Temp setting that appears in the list. Is there anything I need to setup / change?

I have this Arkon mount but it's attached to passenger seat. I can't tell how yours attaches by looking at the pic you posted. Can you explain how it's connected? Thanks.

@CB390248

Looks like he mounted it like I did with my Ram mount.

take the side panel off and there is two screws that you can use to mount it to.

Has anyone gotten more accuracy out of the fuel level PID from the second post?

I filled my tank today and the values were off:

Empty (fuel gauge directly on the red empty line):
Torque=1.5
Actual=1.2 (Based on 13.2-11.99 gallons filled)

Full:
Torque=12.5
Actual=13.2 (Based on tank capacity)

Undoing the equation in post #2, the fullness at 12.5 gallons comes to a sensor readout of 94.69697.

Does anyone know the technical output of this sensor, is 0 absolute empty and 100.0 absolute full? Or is 94.69697 the fullest the sensor will ever output.

I thought about trying this equation to see if it will give a more accurate output: ((A/94.69697)*13.2)

Just looking to have an accurate read-out for when my gas light is on and I'm trying to decide if I can commute home before filling up.

I used the Ultraminimalred theme. The meters don't' have any borders or outlines so then can be overlapped nicely.

Not sure how to export what I have developed. I am sure others would want to display different data points.

If there is an easy way to export the screen I would be happy to.

Looks like it is caused by the Torque application trying to discover the protocol expected by the ECU using a scan, and this scan causing the ECU to bork.

If you go into the profile you set up for your vehicle and scroll to the bottom, there is a drop down menu where you can set the "Preferred OBD2 Protocol." See the attached picture.

In my case--and I'd expect it to be the same for all BRZs--it was ISO15765-4 CAN (11 bit, 500k baud). While connected to the adapter you can go to the "Adapter Status" button on the home screen and you can confirm the setting there. I don't think it would vary based on adapter, but check your car to be sure.

After changing this setting I haven't had a reoccurrence in a couple days of testing.

I'd be interested in hearing if this works for others and if the settings are identical on an FR-S.

Thank-you very much. I was finding this problem very frustrating and so far this fix works perfectly.

I have a 2014 Canadian FR-S and the settings are identical.

Thanks!

That's what I get from mine when I try to connect to my car or my friends 2013 f150. Wtf gives? Also the adapter has a red light on it when plugged in
