If you are using a .csv from the CTS, it may not work as intended in the PID Charting Tool that is currently available here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post19480120

You may need to change some of the values in the cells and the headers for the columns to be in line with what the PID Charting Tool is looking for.

Leonard, I still have the "old" version of the PID Charting Tool that was designed to work with TP, AE, etc... It requires a bit more data manipulation, but will still work. Let me know if you want me to send it over to you if you don't already have it.

The chart output is not a "detailed" as it is for the FORScan built chart, but still very helpful.

Was the data file on your PC? If so, even if you deleted it, it is still there.

If you emailed it, the file should be in your sent items folder.

I have the PID charting tool, it works perfectly for things comoing from Forscan, even though the cts data viewer is exporting to *.cvs is is not reading it properly

So you are most likely correct , just for the record after many updates still no diagnostics available.

Having pulled the hydra from the truck , the Cts is married to the truck with the hydra installed, i will/should have the PCM re tinned come saturday so i can reinstall everything.

So lets just leave this one alone, no reason to beat your head against the wall trying to figure it out just yet

Thanks for all your efforts, was just trying to see a correlation between operation and high egt's , it's just not that important

I may indeed be to stoopid to use this here pc!

@Sous Yes please do. I deleted my copy of the old tool.

I do see they are running time differently, is there anyway to reformat time cell for ms and convert the data?

Sent the tool and instructions to you via email. As you probably knew already, the instructions will not be exactly the same using CTS, but it should work.

Let me know if you need any help. I am working around the house today and can be available if needed.

Thanks @Sous . The big headache is the weird time format that the CTS outputs in its CSV file. What should normally work in Excel to convert it isn't working.

Sorry @Listor ,I got to working on another project. I am back looking at this now.

If you get stumped, send the .csv my way and maybe I can offer a hand. I hope you get it figured out without too much fuss though.

Jeff (BWST) is a God with Excel though, so we may be forced to wait for him to return to civilization.

The old charting tool for TP works. I just have to edit the charts to show the right PIDs now.

Here we go. This took a lot of work.


Don, was this the entire trip from start to finish? Your EGT was above 1,250*F the whole time. Not good.
