Does anyone have a reference that gives a detailed description of the computer data that is available from the OBD port connected to the engine and transmission computer on the V10 engine?

 

I'm sure it can be had - here, let me move this to the V10 forum for you

One of those smart-alecs can probably help you...

In the meantime, I can think of a few things:

Do you mean DTC's? Or raw data?

How are you interfacing to the port? This is plain curiousity... I investigated building an interface to do OBD-II to my '96 t-bird, found all the components I needed and prices, and found I could buy an Autotap w/software for slightly more...

 

Try this site

all the OBDII info you can read in under 29 hours (grin)

Thanks Fred!

 

with a sct excal2 you would be very happy with what you can read useing a laptop and free down load soft ware from them .
with a ford tool you can also get air bag and abs plus more my mac tools scaner pulls engine ,trans, abs and air bag.
my laptop pulls all the operating perimaters engine and trans though the tuner

 

Well, reading some of that stuff, I now realize why whacked-out IAC and MAF readings don't throw a code on the V10, at least pre-05.

Since it's OBD-I (not II, over 8500 lbs does not require OBD-II, at least pre-05), the IAC and MAF are not checked for out-of-bounds operation. Some other things are missing too...

 

we need to met art so you can see what i can read out though the excal2 .

When I was full into engine building they messed around and started all the computer control ( mid 70s)

I was self taught on the Nissan ECU (Engine Control Units) that were simple ramped gate injector and ignition timing pulses with five variables based on rpm, speed, and Analog (swinging gate) MAF, temp, and knock sensor.

Todays computer control is serious business and the more I dig into those OBDII trouble shooting tables and charts the more I appreciate what the puny 415 CI motor is doing

It helps to be computer systems engineer (self taught geek/gamer) and programing background. I doubt any shade tree mechanic today has a fighting chance....especially with all the advertising Hype that is very misleading

My very High HP 80 CI V twin Harley based motor is pure old skool... fly weight points and condenser, carburetor and 12VDC basic systems. I use the hell out of computer programs and dyno data to tune and predict performance.

Hey, ya, All! Welcome to the 21st Century!

get your self out and test ride the v rod both of them, the stanard and the screaming eagle . and have fun, it's going to replace the sportster that can't meet emissions in 07

I am right now looking at the fastest production racing machines... gotta feed that endorphin monster another dose of Adrenalin

Probably try a Ducati for the first time

I am going to reconfigure my FXR evo 80 back to street-able and keep it as my cruiser ride

Still accumulating the basic stuff for a 23 T bucket with V10 project

Had a VTX briefly this spring made good money on trading it away with only 1200 me miles on the clock

Drove my friends Valkyrie(sp?) down to Houston to put on a boat to Panama where he is posted

Not too impressed with most of the higher tech cruisers so pretty sure I won't ever do another Harley in my life

Going to ride this Ford V10 to it's conclusion and may end up as a side line rounding up old ones for future projects

I really really want to twin turbo one of these beasties and may do that to the T bucket because the room will be there

 

i hear you fred.
just i'm to dame proud of a american to buy something else yet any way.
going to be a vrod in the garage soon as the doctor lets me get back on one as i poped the plate and graft loose in my neck and am going back for some rework.
t bucket sounds nice and a lot of fun. esp with v10 power and maybe twin tirbos.just flip the cast irons around and rebolt them turbos on then up front.
i have a 32- 3 window kit in storage think that will be next to play with as i have most of the peices around yet. fi gt 40-5.0 out to 347 a e4od and a 4r100r a few 9 inch rear center sections , be fun but health first.

 

The enhanced diagnostic data includes items like:

MISE-High Counter of Total Cylinder Events

MISEL- Low Counter of Total Cylinder Events

MIS_NOCALL-Misfires not called (counts)

LPCM_V-Electronic Line Pressure Control Over
current Monitor (voltage)

There are a total of 279 variables that are
selected from the computer. They have one
line definitions but I am looking for a bit
more of an explanation of what they mean.

 

well this dame proud american couldn't not turn down a ride with a price of $9.695 with a side car. it's ural troyka . cheap and runs pretty darn nice ,only problem is makeing turns got to go into them slowly till my hack driving brain come back .
