DashDaq Question-FICM
I heard awhile ago the DD would only read FICM volts up too 31.Has anything been updated so that it will read too 48v?
This is one PID that I'm not monitoring and I really need too.I'm kinda pissed though that I'll have to spend $95 for the Enhanced OBD2 Data Licenses from Drew just for one PID.

You do get quite a few PIDs with the stock unit,But with anything...If you want more you've got to PAY!!!I like the DD,but man is it expensive.

IIRC, unless they've changed it, the DD doesn't read FICM voltage at all. I know Drewtech was talking about getting that PID on their monitor, but not sure. I'll text EODguyJake and ask him when he gets up this morning.

Correct - DashDAQ does not read FICM MPower (Main) or LPower (Logic). It has been a few months since I checked their website, but it does not appear that Drew even plans on adding the capability. My only DashDAQ disappointment.

i can read ficm thru AE, but my ficm voltage is pretty healthy,
so i don't bother much with a dog that isn't barking.

I also have a scangaugeII, so if I want to check FICM volts, I can use it. I have a repaired / tuned FICM and it is quite healthy. It doesn't bother me too much to not see it continually. I also have a spare FICM, so if I ever develop issues w/ proper power/idle/etc, I can swap in a known good FICM pretty quickly. I do monitor the vehicle volts though - that is more important IMO (so that you quickly catch an issue that could stress the FICM).
Seems like EVERY gauge system has a drawback. So far, I have been pleased w/ the DashDAQ and I think it is a fairly decent code reader.
