I created the custom PIDs per: https://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforumaction=viewtopic&t=2739.0

But they each show a dash(“-“). Since they all look perfect, what is the next steps in debugging?

The OEM Hybrid display is kinda worthless. No details. The wheels rotate when moving but you probably know that by looking out the window.

I balanced the paren’s in both cases.

“2. What header is being used?” What do you mean? Where does it go? I don’t see a header data entry point.

I did use “2240D2” as 2240D2 for the Hybrid battery Current.

The last field I see is the equation field. Under that is CANCEL and OK.

I’m “playing” with the free version to see what it does and how well it works. Is the Paid version different in regard to editing custom pids?

Thanks for the help Cap777

The only reason I want Torque, or similar, is to get access to the traction battery info. GM didn’t make it available on the hybrid display which is mostly a pretty picture.

Too often I purchased things that in the end didn’t do the purpose I needed or was advertised. Not saying that is the case with Torque. I was just checking its functionality before I bought. I’ll pay up to see if it works better.

So not making much progress. I do get an indication that my OBD interface is faulty. But the main screens do work and I’m getting data.

I created the following three :
“Hybrid Battery Current”,”HBCurrent”,”0x2240d2″,”(SIGNED(A)*256)+B/20″,-100,100,”Amps”,”AUTO”,””,””,1
“Hybrid Battery Pack Volts”,”HBVolts”,”0x2240fe”,”((A*256)+B)/10″,240,360,”Volts”,”AUTO”,””,””,1
“Hybrid Battery SOC”,”SOC”,”0x222411″,”A*100/255″,0,100,”%”,”AUTO”,””,””,1

None are reporting data.

So I opened the SOC PID and clicked TEST:
– sent: 22241
– Rec’d: 7F2231

Then I deleted AUTO and the rely I got was
– 622411F
– 622411F

Are there any error logs? I started logging but it only logs the trip and the points I selected which all show dashes.

“It looks like you are sending five chars not the six
given. Is this just a typo on the post?”
Yes … typo.

“Are you getting the header bytes before the 6224…?”

Nothing. The testing screen indicates “no response”, It lists the command (222411) and the two 622411F are listed

Nothing like “622411xx where xx equals byte A.”

More data points …
I decided to put some of the predefined PIDs on a display. Such as Fuel Tank pressure, ABS FLW & EGR V. They did not provide any data.

The pre-populated screen with Revs, Speed, Coolant, Accel, Throttle & Vacuum all work fine.

Something about the gauges I’m adding don’t work.

But it does imply that the OBD BT adaptor works well enough for the std gauges.

I just added a PID from the list you mentioned and it did display the relevant data.

It could be the OBD interface.

With the vehicle in the run position (but engine off), as I scrolled through the list, some items were green and had data. I interpreted the message “greenb = active” as pertaining to gauges already selected for display. Might that mean that only the green ones are connected and receiving data?

UPDATE: I just ordered a BAFX unit. Will be here in a couple days.

I got the BAFX adaptor and:
– I still get the faulty OBD interface module message on the Torque screens.
– It connects OK and displays some of the data as before
– The SOC does not work. I presume that the info provided in the link at the top is good but don’t know how to check.

In other words, this OBD interface module woks as did the first. No progress.

I went out and “putzed” with it and the error cleared. I think I cleared the BT connections and then reconnected. I think the problem was that it maintained the original interface error and did not clear with the new interface. But that is just a theory. Anyway, for now, the error message is gone.

Now to figure out the PID. I realize Hybrid Tahoes (& Yukons) are pretty rare. Hopefully someone who has got the PIDS to work or not chimes in.
