Hi

If you are using the predefined list for engine oil temperature for Ford and the predefined PID is compatible, and it's reading that then it is very likely that is what the sensors is reading. The causes of a low reading could be:

* There is a cooling issue (eg stuck thermostat) preventing warm-up of the engine

* The sensor is faulty and returning an incorrect reading (this can happen on older vehicles)

Torque is merely showing what the ECU is sending back - you may wish to confirm the oil temperature of the engine by other means to be sure

There was no issue with my truck it was an issue with the equation this is what I changed to to get it to work correctly

Unit type *F
Equation ((((A*256)+B)/100)+40)

Hm, I'll have to check through some logs - it could be that the PID is different or has changed slightly, if it has then I'll update it, thanks for posting the information - are you sure it's +40 and not -40?

I have +40. My truck is an 04 so Im not sure if it changes in newer year Ford PSD's

Hm

I think the +40 may be incorrect....

If you leave your truck overnight, the temperature should be 'roughly' equal to that of your coolant temperature sensor in the morning - I'd be interested in knowing if there is a difference or not

This is what I have in mine, and lines up with the SGII.

((((A*256)+B)/100)-40)*(9/5)+32

I just went out and checked temps for the ECT and EOT.

Comparing with the SGII and Torque APP.

ECT on both were the same, 41.5*f

EOT on SGII-42.3*f, torque=42.6*f

That is using this equation: ((((A*256)+B)/100)-40)*(9/5)+32

I'm happy with these readings.

Ian,

Just so you know, over on the Ford Powerstroke 03-07 forums, any time some one asks what they should do to their truck first. The most submitted suggestion is "GAUGES, GAUGES, GAUGES!"

Your Torque APP is getting closer to being one suggested.

That's pretty cool!

The update that's out now (released about an hour ago) now has the corrected Oil temperature PID in it, so hopefully that will make a few people happy, thanks for taking the time to make the obvservations!

Ian, it's my pleasure.

I just wish I knew something about setting up these PIDs. There are a few more the Ford Powerstroke owners (03-07's) need to make this a great tool for them.

I will be looking at the VGT duty cycle gauge. It seems to be reading a little on the high side. Will look tomorrow morning.

Thanks for what you have put together here.

Sean

Every time I try to change the equation on my PID it says equation is invalid. I cant get EOT to read anything other than 32* can someone please help me figure this out?

You did get it working didn't you?
