I use a blank PID, with the equation entered as [11] (including the square brackets).

So I redid my boost and also the ebp equations using [221442] but neither subtracted atmospheric pressure. I figured seeing things as the vehicle does was better than a combo of vehicle & tablet... So back to this thread I went to see if I miffed something typing and this bit raised an eyebrow. Is there a reason you cant have boost and epb using 221442 at the same time?

I'm still working on the decoder ring for boost and EBP above atmosphere, using the barometric sensor in the PCM. I have a huge problem with available time (near the truck), but I've been making progress.

I know just enough to be dangerous 
Added the baro PID and gauge from page 1 and now both boost and EBP read properly.
Since there were already a few baro PIDs I didnt think I needed another

Experiment Time!
I have been tinkering with the math to calculate altitude from the Barometric sensor in our PCMs, and the algebra gets ugly fast. I came up with a cheat that is good enough for our purposes. I wouldn't fly a plane into the clouds with this PID, but I'd drive over a mountain pass to get to the coast... and feel good enough. THIS IS NOT TESTED YET, so hit the test button with Key On Engine Off before storing it.
Long name:Altitude
Short name: Alt.
PID: 221442
Max/Min: 10,000/0
Unit: Ft.
Equation: (14.7-(((A*256)+B)*0.03625))*2143
Header: C410F1
I'm working on condensing it more.

I have that formula on my son's Droid (old device) and it works. However, it does not work on my new tablet. Very strange. Other than operator keypunch error, do you have any thoughts on what might cause it not to work on the new tablet?

I had all kinds of problems with my tablet after some updates occurred. I cleared the whole Torque app out, reinstalled, reprogrammed my vehicles, and I never had another problem with Torque Pro and Stinky.
My 2007 P'us, on the other hand, is a whole other matter. The car has been so unstable that I can't even plug in my OBDII adaptor without problems, but I'm pretty sure other issues are at play - my CEL came on with no toys attached.

New Calculations!
I was looking closely at my Torque Converter Slip PID and noticed the readings are all screwy. I am working on the improved math by comparing it with my AE readings. I will have a new formula soon, but for those who don't like waiting - feel free to tinker with it in case you can figure it out first.

First off, thank you Tugly for all your contributions.
May I impose upon you or others to explain torque converter slip (especially as applies to these trucks) and what an appropriate value should be.
I'll Google the issue to try and educate myself in the interim.
Thank you.
