Anyone monitoring Trans Temp with ODB2 reader app?

Link sends me to the Amazon $58 deal.

Yeah, it only does it in TapaTalk Pro...no big deal.

Hmmm....maybe I should remove the MX+ from my shopping cart. I removed the MX a few days ago and now its on sale. Hopefully I can get the same action by removing the MX+ and force it to go on sale too.

Always worth a try!

I just hooked up the OBDLink MX with the app. Registered it, eyc. When I go to Extras, all of them are $9.99. No freebies.

My update note specifically mentioned MX+ only.

I did not get any free when I setup my MX 2 years ago. I know that is true with the MX+ when I set it up after Black Friday. Others have said that they are all free now with the MX+. I have not verified that.

I figured out what I have to do between Torque and the MX (Not MX+) to get access to the MS-CAN bus for specific PIDs (TPMS). (Diagnostic Start & Stop commands)
To read the trans temp I had to specify 221624 as the PID and then "7e1" as the OBD Header. I see that the Ford specific free importable PIDs also now have a transmission temp PID that has the same settings. So you don't have to create a new one yourself.
I created a "Towing dashboard" in Torque that displays, coolant & trans temps, transmission gear, and fuel economy. I'll be adding the TPMS gauges when I get the MX.

Well, I was wrong. The TPMS PIDs don't work. Back to the drawing board.
The trans temperature details above (I corrected) work like a champ.

What Year? I have verified the Extended PIDs in the OBDLINK app and OBDFusion for Tire Pressure work on 15-17’s.

I just verified and downloaded the added packages for our 2012 Toyota free of charge.
Again I have the MX+ and believe this is the only model getting the free extras.

Yeah, I just downloaded several years of Ford PIDs. It just keeps letting you use the free upgrade! Very Cool!

2011. I downloaded the PAID FOR Extras for my truck. It shows TPMS PIDs but doesn't return any data.

Hahaha!

You need to add the following...



Also, if your truck has been sitting for a while, you might need to go drive a second, to “wake them up”.

Check out the following thread. Lots of discussion about Tire Pressures and how to do it with Modules. Only year mentioned that seemed to have issues was 2007. Your 2011 should work.

I did add them, before I added the gauge to the dashboard. I had driven it around while watching the display. Never got anything. I had an old ELM327 adapter and wired in a switch to allow HSCAN/MSCAN. I hooked it up and confirmed everything worked on HSCAN. Changed settings to 11-bit/125kbit and tried fetching the TPMS data. I got a CANBUS error. I'm going to put an oscilloscope on those pins tomorrow. I installed an iDatalink Maestro a couple of years ago but never touched the MSCAN wiring.

Very impressed with the OBDLink app and all the PID's available. I've got my dashboards pretty much how I want them but I can't find engine oil temp. I've got the 2017 Expy PIDs installed and have looked thru most of the modules. Figured it would be in the powertrain module but don't see it. Any ideas?

There is no Oil Temp Sensor PID in PCM. Use the Engine Oil Temp SAE PID.

Loki, thanks man. I've looked in the SAE PID's but don't see it there either. There are several engine coolant temp PID's but no oil temp. I'll check again in the morning but I've looked in there a few times over the last week and I'm pretty sure it's missing from mine.

It's interesting that different modules seem to have similar or the same PID's. Like engine coolant temp, there are three of them in the PCM and I think two in the SAE. Different sensors?

And I'm also wondering if the battery saver function is operating correctly on mine. It seems to stay powered on for quite some time after the truck is shut down. I figured the auto power off would occur within twenty minutes or so.

Auto Power option watchs battery voltage, and it draws very little. I am sure it takes a while to get to a voltage to trigger power down.

Several of the Extended and SAE PIDs use the same sensors.
