Android App "torque" Tips And Tricks ?

[burkey05]

update

engine hot

EOT

forscan SCT torque

87c 86c 101

coolant temp

forscan SCT torque

93c 93c 92c

tran temp

forscan SCT torque

84c 82c 82c

so it seems that the torque equation is out by about 16c each time

I'm gonna adjust the equation to (((A*256)+B)*5)/74-16 and check the readings again, cold, semi and hot

update

more readings with forscan and torque with the -16c equation(I didnt use SCT cos it was exactly the same as the forscan readings)

forscan torque

28 28.7

39 39

47 46.6

49 48.9

78 77.3

79 78.7

seems pretty accurate, so I'll be using this equation in torque from now on

(((A*256)+B)*5)/74-16

Great info mate

I have a question for you people in the know. I have an air bag fault flashing on the dash but torque (free version) says there are no active faults and there's nothing in the history. I just got the Dongle/app so not entirely sure what I'm doing.

Give forscan a try. It communicates with all of the modules on the beercanbus so will show ANY errors in the car.

that's great work mate, id sort of given up on the formula after finding the pid. You also had the right tools to do it with an x3 which is known to be accurate and apparently forscan is also as you have confirmed.

Well done

thx, but you deserve credit too. without your initial equation there was no hope of getting it right

How do I go about getting an accurate zf temp reading on torque. Got everything else pretty much sorted. Cheers

Burkey05, thanks for the formulae. I have been using it, but I am still confused how the EOT is lower than the coolant temp.

I would have thought that the coolant temp would be lower than the EOT.

same, but forscan and the sct are known to be accurate. I thought EOT would be at around 100c

you need to add the Ford PID's under settings......................manage extra PID's............................add predefined set.......................ford(inc Powerstroke)............................and then add Transmission Fluid Temp method 1 or 2(PID no. 221674)
