PowerBoost 1.5 - We Need More Than Idiot Lights

[Snakebitten]

Thanks @wyoming

That's exactly the information that I believe @FaaWrenchBndr was looking for. At least it was confirmation that a 2024 could use the enhanced PIDs in the app.

I bought the enhanced for my 2021. But that doesn't work. Are you saying I need to buy the 2023 enhanced pid? Or should I just wait until we get support for the 2024?

I'm not sure you have to purchase a second or 3rd year of the same manufacturer enhanced PID package.
You just download it.

Now if you wanted an enhanced package for a Mazda, or GM...... That would require a purchase.

Anyone having issues with their OBDLink staying paired?

I’m having to delete and repair my device daily and sometimes multiple times per day.

Same issue here. I was actually going to message OBDLink about it.

edit: it actually shows as a paired device in my iPhone until I try to connect to it then it says I must “forget device” and go through the pairing process again.

I haven't had to delete/re-pair, but I have had an uptick in the number of times I've had to "reconnect" the app to the adapter. Seems to have started after a recent app update, although I didn't pay close enough attention to correlate exactly. (other bummer was the update ever so slightly tweaked the formatting of the gauges/text I had adjusted for my screen size just enough to bug me).

Try to delete then reinstall the app. Also make sure you don't have another device like an iPad paired to the MX. Make sure the MX is running latest firmware.

Turbo, have you ever seen a DC/AC PID that we could use to monitor generator output during Pro Power use since ford removed that feature from their app?

No, we have been looking for it for years.

Speaking of PIDs is there a way to see electric motor output? Torque goes to 0 when driving in electric mode.

 

[Snakebitten]

When you are in EV mode, the PID for Hybrid Battery current (in AMPs) and Hybrid Voltage is easy enough to discern the amount of power is being used to drive the traction motor.

(Volts*Amps)

Of course you will always have to deduct a small amount, the 1-2 amps being consumed by the DC/DC converter for supplying 12V current to the 12V bus

Which torque value are you looking at PCM? You can watch the traction inverter specifically "SOBDMC"

OBDLink, there's Calculated PIDs for engine torque but only for ICE. Zero reading while in EV mode.

Okay, well find someone that can figure them out as the SOBDMC will report 2 different variables regarding the torque that the hybrid unit is putting out. When it's charging it's a negative (regen) value. At 1200 RPM on eco idle it's "eating" 120-130ftlbs.

It's readily available in forscan

Looks like we need to pay. This is from the app.
