Does anyone have the PID for trans temp on a 1997 Expedition with the 4R70W? I tried one other PID I found and it didn't work. I'm going on a long trip towing my travel trailer and would like to monitor my trans. temps. . Thanks in advance!

I don't believe these PID's have been posted here, so I'm going to list them so we can try and keep them in one place.
Exhaust Backpressure
PID:221445
Unit: PSI
Max/Min: 100.0/0.0
Equation: ( ( A * 256 ) + B ) * ( 36.25 / 1000 )
ICP Voltage
PID: 2216ad
Unit: VOLTS
Max/Min: 5.0/0.0
Equation: ( ( ( A * 256 ) + B ) * ( 72 / 10000 ) ) / 100

My trans temp isn't working on my 2000 V10 Ex, are there setting to change for either Trans Temp 1 or 2??
Has anyone gotten the Trans Temp to work?
Update: looked in settings and trans temp is not listed in the "active" readings

I was also having this problem (2000 Ex V10); Trans Temp 1 or 2 were showing as inactive (not green like the active sensors in settings in Torque).
I did download a plug in (TorqueScan), not sure if it helped, but this is what happened:
1) Went into edit PID's, pulled up Trans Temp 1, clicked edit and then test (after no changes).
2) During the test is DID read trans temp! Closed it
3) Added Trans Temp 1 to screen
4) Restarted app
5) and it works! DESPITE still showing as inactive in the available active sensors.
Don't know why, don't care. It now works.

Can you share which list you are referring to, and the PID code? I too am searching for a tranny temp for my 1999+ auto on a 7.3L

OK, so I'm trying to edit the PID that's pre- defined in the app for EOT on the 6.0 to the equation that's posted here but every time I hit the OK button it gives a little pop-up that says, "checking equation...." and it won't save it or activate???

MPG
After two weeks of Searching and reading and reading .....
I cannot get MPG instant, Average, Fuel Flow / min / HR to work ?
I am exhausted of google searching and forum searching and give up.
The APP is awesome and I am successfully monitoring a lot of things except MPG Instant and Average which I really really wanted. HELP !!!

There is no fuel flow meter, this is why the overhead on so-equipped vehicles (like mine) is such a joke. I have the 7.3L (so I'm just talking diesel with variable fueling) and the available PIDs are Mass Fuel (weight of fuel) and Volume Fuel (volume of fuel) Desired, which is a calculation of the fueling the PCM wants... and nothing more. This is all based on the PCM being programmed for the stock nozzles on a split-shot injector. You then have to take the volume of the fuel and factor the RPMs and MPH into the equation. So, you would have a calculation of the RPM times the MPH divided by the MFD or VFD to get MPG - for just that instant.
In order to get a MPG average, you have to talk to the overhead - a different module (again, if so-equipped). You would then have the same bogus number I have on the overhead, so it would need an attitude adjustment anyway.
Now... with all that, even if I wanted to use a calculation that somebody worked out, it does me no good at all: I have custom injectors, so I have to rework the formulas on the MFD and VFD.
If anybody finds any part of this in error, I welcome the feedback.

Is this on your phone? Try rebooting it. Or delete the app and download it again.

The functions that are working are: RPM, ECT, Boost, and I think Speed/Accel. I was also getting HP/TQ, but not sure if it's accurate.
I thought this was going to be awesome for the price, but if it's a pain in the a## I will gladly spend the money to get a dedicated scanner/reader. I don't want to spend hours of my already sparse free time trying to get something to work...
