Hi masda,

 

thanks for that. I will try that setup again when I get the car back from servicing. Those settings were what I had originally and didnt work but I will give them another go.

 

My coolant temp works right away from cold (ie: the current outside air temp approx) and seems to be pretty accurate. I use the generic coolant temperature and not the ford coolant temp.

Mick, no need to download it. On an android device you just need to import them.

To do this all you need to do is go into torque.

When in torque, click the gear symbol at the bottom left.

then when the menu shows up, click on settings.

Scroll down to the bottom and click on manage extra PIDS/Sensors.

once you get the list of PIDs, at the top right you have a pull down menu with 3 little dots.

Click on that and then select Add predefined set.

then in the list you will have Ford(incl Powerstroke). click on this option.

That will import the FORD PIDS.

 

Once that is done, then you can setup a custom PID.

Good luck.

masda, I already had the FORD PIDs loaded. I had already tried the only Ford Engine Oil Temp PID which was 221310. It did not work and I got nothing out of it. I had already tried to edit that PID and altered it to be the same settings you have and that did not give anything. After your advice I tried to edit it again and still no joy. So, maybe my XR6 does not have a temp sensor??

 

Anyway, thanks for the help, much appreciated mate. Cheers n beers. Mick

one way to test this, is to get a laptop with bluetooth. connect it to the MX bluetooth dongle.

Install forscan and see if it works and can give you a reading.

You do have and XR6T right?

The PID for the NA could be different which is why you are having issues.

I think there might be a way to work out what the PID is from Forscan logs.
