Question on torque pro PIDS
I just got a bafx bluetooth obd11 dongle and downloaded the torque pro app. My question is why cant I read any of the important PIDS? wanted to see what ebp , map, and several others . The only ones that are available are highlighted in green and unfortunately most of the pids I am trying to view are not available. Also my coolant temperature is reading -40 Celsius? Am I doing something wrong here? I just figured I would be able to view the common pids , but that doesn't seem to be the case

If you have a 4R100 truck, you cannot read coolant temperature. If you have a ZF6 truck, you can read coolant temperature. Most 4R100 drivers read EOT instead and that gives them a good idea of what the coolant temperature is at.
You need to load the pre-defined Powerstroke PID list.

Like Sous said automatic tranny trucks don't send coolant temp to the computer. The sender on our trucks is basically a resistor that feeds the dash directly so you can't see it through OBDII

Thank you guys for the input, I will look for ford specific pids, not sure why I couldn't find this earlier because I had torque pro set up for a different truck years ago. Thanks again , I appreciate it
