OTC code scanners won't work on our trucks ----

this link, will direct you to:
https://forscan.org/download.html

available for iOS, Android and Windows

a WiFi Adapter is far superior to a Bluetooth Adapter, why? Because it is many times faster with Data Transfer.

For easy monitoring while driving, I suggest that you choose one of the OBDII Bluetooth Adapters from their Website linking to Amazon, to get one that performs well with Torque Pro on your cellphone or on-dash Tablet/Radio


I also have the USB cable direct to a windows laptop, a cable adapter is the best way to diagnose issues… but the newer WiFi is more convienent.

Amazon Amazon

this is their primary recommendation

https://www.obdlink.com/products/obd...x/?ref=forscan


I have one similar to this one.

ForScan is recommending this USB cable now

Unplug the EBPS and see what the OBDII reading is.

What brand is the EBPS you installed last night?

Do you by chance have a DTC P0470 stored in the PCM? If so, I have attached the pinpoint test associated with that DTC and the EBPS not functioning properly.

Below are some details about the EBPS that may lead you to a resolution.

The sensor is ford dealer, I’m assuming the DTC is stored in the PCM since my edge monitor pulls it up. I don’t have a FORScan to plug into the OBDII, my edge monitor is plugged to it. From what I recall when I unplugged the sensor and looked at the EBPS reading and it was still showing 29.

This is where you need something that will look deeper than OBD.

What Kwik said is spot on.

Applications like Edge and TorquePro are notorious for not reading all of the codes that are there. FORScan or FORScan Lite are reliable applications to show you everything the PCM sees.

The fellas above have provided the details required to get going.

When I found out about how OBD has the potential of lying to the technician about information that I needed to know to be able to accurately diagnose and repair a malfunctioning vehicle I knew that tough days were ahead.
Fast forward 30 years, it only got more and more complicated and I did a few celebratory dances in my head when I told the landlord that I would not be renewing the lease.

when I retired from the Phoenix Fire department, ( IT tech for rolling equipment and station dispatch stuff )
there was only one guy that I really respected, and he is still my Best buddy, 12 years later.

he was the ONLY ONE, who knew my retirement date,
I requested the HR folks to keep my intent privileged info, do NOT spread it around.

On my last day at work, I ordered up Pizza for everyone, and had it delivered thru the back gate ( a violation according to our Piece of crapola captain )

My buddy and I enjoyed peace and quiet for lunch, then after we were done, I walked into the admin office and told "the gang" there, that we had a lot of left over Pizza if they would like some.

the Captain came over and looked at what we had, and said " I do not recall anyone at the Front Desk requesting permission to come back to the shop, how did this pizza get here? "

I grinned, and said, uh, well, I ordered it up myself, just felt like I wanted something extra for lunch and opened the back gate so he could bring it to me.

Oh, boy, did he ever get irate.... @#$%^^&
" Don't you EVER DO THAT AGAIN "

to which I smiled, and replied " Not a problem captain, have it your way "

the next day, I did not show up for work.... boy did he get mad, he stomped into our shop and asked where I am??? why didn't I call in and get permission to not show up for work?

my buddy, kept his mouth closed, continued working, and didn't bother to answer him.
no one liked that SOB...

the Captain then stomped up to HR and asked if I had called in, and where is that guy?

HR, just grinned back at him, and " Oh, didn't you know? He retired Yesterday, he ain't coming back. "
