I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I was playing with the live dials. Some updates might have escaped my attention as I saw there is now a Transmission Temp Method 3 that works with my Jeep. However it has some sort of issues as the readings started from 34 then jumped to 70, 80, 81, and then settled at 85. I used it for a short distance in light traffic between office and home. Perhaps this might require more tweaking or is there anything I need to do from my end…..? Thx

Thanks Ian. I actually noticed those were Mode 6 Pids after sending. But perhaps they might assist with my truck coz I dont get any 02 or EGR readings with the Jeep. I will keep an eye out for Mode 21 and 22 Pids as advised.

About the Trans Temp reading I get what you are saying. I will place the Trans Temp dial and the Engine Coolant dial side by side and check out the readings while car is moving and at a stop and report back…. I may add that the Engine Coolant Temp reads ok and exactly as per the physical dashboard dial.

By the way for the Transmission Temp are we talking about the Trans Coolant temparature or the Trans Oil temparature? I am a bit confused here 😉

Hi

I’ll be working on transmission temperature support soon (in the next month) when I come back from holiday, so hopefully, I’ll be able to get full dodge support going

yes.. and i am the same… trans temp reads identical to engine temp… 2007 jeep rubicon 3.8L engine 42RLE auto transmission… i spoke with jeep dealer who stated the ALARM for the HOT OIL (transmission) is set for 250 F.. and normal operating temp should be between 150-180 F…

i am using the PID… OTHER… Trans temp #3 i thought it was working initially but realized it was Centigrade… i wanted it to read out in F… and now its exactly as engine coolant temp

please help… and thanks… if there is anything i can do to help just say the word… you’ve got a most excellant program!!!

Hello,

I have a 2011 Dodge Dakota w/ the 5 speed transmission. Please let me know if/when the transmission temperature will be available for this truck.

Thanks!

PS, thanks for the awesome program also! Best five bucks i’ve spent!

Hi

I’d still like to get this working – someone has offered their vehicle for some remote work (It’s waiting on me to get organised enough after moving house to spend some time on it)

This might help out. I just read it on a Ram forum:

“There is already a sensor in your transmission that reads sump temperature. If you have a scan tool that will read data using PIDs, you can program it to read this thermistor. The PID was A01B on older trucks, and it is B011 on newer trucks (2007 and later, I am sure, but I don’t know how much earlier this code was used). This should return a signed 2-byte value with a scale factor of 0.015625. So you read a 2-byte value (like 11968) and multiply it by 0.015625 to get the measured sump temp in °F (in this example, 187°F).”

Hi!

The app has the ability to display transmission temperature (or any other sensor) it’s just a case of finding the sensor information to put into the ‘extended PIDs’ section of the settings

There are currently 3 methods for measuring transmission temperature (that are similar between a fair few vehicles) – the third (Transmission Temperature – method 3) is accessible in the ‘Manage extra PIDs’ section of the app as the ‘Other’ predefined set. It *might* work for your vehicle

If not, then you may need to hunt for the transmission temperature PIDs- I know that they are readable as the Tacoma has a set of accessible PIDs for transmission temperature (there are 2 depending on the year of manufacture – discussed in the tacoma thread (search above) – one of these may also work/be relevant)

Failing that, it may be worthwhile asking around on some toyota forums – usually some quite knowledgeable people hang around on manufacturer specific forums and they may be in a better position to help

hi

The numbers should not be the same as the coolant temperature – that means that you’re just getting the engine coolant temperature rather than actual transmission temperatures

For Dodge vehicles (at the moment) you can’t read transmission temperature info (mainly because this info isn’t known) – however if it is found out, then you can add it to Torque using the manage extra sensors/pids field

I have made some progress with Jeep transmission temperature readings, which is not too dissimilar from the dodge readings (though a different PID iirc). More functionality pertaining to this will make it into the next update as I have a few things to add PID wise

Year and a half later and wondering what is the status.

I have a ’12 Jeep Grand Cherokee (’11 – ’16 should be the same) and the dash can display (one at a time) coolant temp, oil pressure, oil temp and trans temp (when in a drive gear) so these are on the bus.

So far the only thing I have gotten to work always displays the coolant temp.

ps: just checked and transmission temp method one displays the coolant temp and method 2 does not display anything.

pps: downloaded the latest version and do not have a “method 3” – is this an add-on ?
