Hi

It should work with either of those equations – make sure a stray space or dodgy character hasn’t got into there somewhere….

If you use the Celsius conversion which you have working, put C into the units, and then select ‘Fahrenheit’ in the preferred units then the app should do the conversion internally for you

I’ll have a look tonight, but that equation looks fine to me. I might add a ‘test’ button in the next couple of updates though.

Have an EOT (Engine Oil Temperature) reading, now, 103.2, which might be the correct value in degrees F. Will verify against a borrowed Edge unit.

The face of the dial reads “Deg.C” (without the quotes) which is different from the Coolant dial, which reads “xF” where “x” represents a question mark inside of a diamond (square rotated 45 degrees). Looks like the app is using a character that’s not in my droid’s character set. I’ll try to post a picture.

OK, I’ll try again to post a picture.

Hi!

If you’re using extended PIDs, then you really want to be using the paid version of the app as the support for extended PIDs is far greater (plus there’s a couple of bugs fixed for specific vehicle types)

The test function is only in the full (paid) version of the app at the moment, if testing goes ok, it will be out last thing this weekend

(there’s also a couple of unit fixes going in the update this weekend as well)

Hi

Thats the standard OBD2 PID for oil temp, (not an extended one) so it depends if the vehicle supports it (if you are connected when the list is visible, and it turns green, then you should be in luck and the sensor should work)

There’s also a list of predefined PIDs in the settings (Menu->Settings->Manage extra PIDs/Sensors->Menu->Add predefined set) which also has an extended PID for engine oil temp (which I’m told does work on a few vehicles), this is probably the PID you want

Regards,

Ian

The PIDs in the list for EOT is for 6.0L diesels.

This worked on my 2006 F-350. Any updates with the tranny and coolant temps being the same value?

I have a 2006 Ford F250 with Powerstroke 6.0 Liter Diesel

I downloaded the Ford PID’s and EOT did not work for me.

I entered the following equation:
((((A*256)+B)/100)-40)

I Entered in the Units:
C

That is simply a cap C. I let the App convert to Farenheit for me.

Hey, and it works fine.

Thanks for all the great posts in this thread!

Go into Manage PIDs and select “edit” EOT and see what the equation is.

Then verify it with the equation posted above.

Hello, I’m a full time college student with one more year to a B.A. but I’m also a auto technician, my old scan tools are crap for later models…I do some work when I can…need to see data stream, codes, koeo, koer, injector buzz at least, is this possible for up to 2008 powerstroke? I also have a degree in electronics and have built some boards and stuff…a guy gave me a brand new megasquirt 2 kit that he didn’t put together…maybe I’ll do that this winter. Any help with the Powerstrokes would be awesome…I can’t afford a scanner right now. Thanks!

IMHO Torque Pro is well worth the cost plus its free plugins like Track Recorder which turns your phone into a dash cam with superimposed map and gauges. Excellent!

There is a lot of information available for your 6.0L but executing a “buzz
test” is not currently possible. There is a way to send obdii elm327 commands if you know the proper commands.

Hope this helps…

Looking for advice/comments on how to get started with comparing EOT and Coolent Temp with Torque App & BAFX Blu/scan for recently purchased used 2004 350 6.0 diesel with 64k miles on it. Wanted to view the above as I start to use the truck for my 3K lb. camper to see if I have any oil/EGT cooler issues. Planning on Bullit proof upgrades in the near future but want to use truck before I do this. I do not use any coolent and runs well so far in local driving. Was thinking of buying Edge CTS but the Torque App seems to have it all plus logging. Any suggestions or comments are very welcomed.

I believe that there is PIDs for the 6.0L in the “Add Predefined Sensors”.

Press
Menu>Settings> Manage extra PIDs/Sensors>Menu> Add predefined set>Ford (Including Powerstroke)
