Toyota Torque Pids

Even more useful in the case of the Prius, Torque can be used with custom PIDs made available for the Gen 2 Prius (2004-2009 Model Years) or the Gen 3 Prius (Late 2009 to Present Model Years) available for download from PriusChat.com (courtesy of usbseawolf2000). These PIDs let you use Torque to acquire more useful information such as. Toyota torque specifications. TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. FT-LBS (N-m) AXLE SPINDLE NUT. CAMRY (1994-92) 217 (294) CELICA (1992) & SUPRA. Toyota Prius NHW11 PID list for Torque app, excel visualizer - kutasg/Prius-gen1-torque-PIDs. Torque PRO App ($5) 3. Bluetooth Adapter ($10) So total is about 15 bucks and it will give you a lot more info than your basic OBDII reader!! How to Add Extended PID's: So the app supports quite a few generic PID's but there is a way to add some that are specific to a car maker. In this case GM.

OBD-II PIDs

P-codes, or OBD-II PIDsOn Board Diagnostics 'Parameter IDs', are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool. These codes are part of SAE standard J/1979, required to be implemented in all cars sold in North America since 1996.

Typically, an automotive technician will use PIDs with a scan tool connected to the vehicle's OBD-II connector.

• The technician enters the PID
• The scan tool sends to the vehicle's bus (CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO, KWP. After 2008, CAN only)
• A device on the bus recognizes the PID as one it is responsible for, and reports the value for that PID to the bus
• The scan tool reads the response, and shows it to the technician

Modes

There are ten modes of operation described in the latest OBD-II standard SAE J1979. They are, the $ prefix indicating a hexadecimal number:

$01. Show current data

$02. Show freeze frame data

$03. Show stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes

$04. Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes and stored values

$05. Test results, oxygen sensor monitoring (non CAN only)

$06. Test results, other component/system monitoring (Test results, oxygen sensor monitoring for CAN only)

$07. Show pending Diagnostic Trouble Codes (detected during current or last driving cycle)

$08. Control operation of on-board component/system

$09. Request vehicle information

$0A. Permanent DTC's (Cleared DTC's)

Vehicle manufactures are not required to support all modes.

Each manufacturer may define additional modes above #9 (e.g.: mode 22 as defined by SAE J2190 for Ford/GM, mode 21 for Toyota) for other information (e.g.: the voltage of the Traction Battery in a HEV).

Standard PIDs

The table below shows the standard OBD-II PIDs as defined by SAE J1979. The expected response for each PID is given, along with information on how to translate the response into meaningful data. Again, not all vehicles will support all PIDs and there can be manufacturer-defined custom PIDs that are not defined in the OBD-II standard.

Note that modes 1 and 2 are basically identical, except that Mode 1 provides current information, whereas Mode 2 provides a snapshot of the same data taken at the point when the last diagnostic trouble code was set. The exceptions are PID 01, which is only available in Mode 1, and PID 02, which is only available in Mode 2. If Mode 2 PID 02 returns zero, then there is no snapshot and all other Mode 2 data is meaningless.

In the formula column, letters A, B, C, etc. represent the decimal equivalent of the first, second, third, etc. bytes of data. Where a (?) appears, contradictory or incomplete information was available. Someone with a copy of the 2006 SAE HS-3000 should fact-check these.

Bitwise encoded PIDs

Toyota Torque Specifications

Some of the PIDs in the above table cannot be explained with a simple formula. A more elaborate explanation of these data is provided here:

Mode 1 PID 01: A request for this PID returns 4 bytes of data. The first byte contains two pieces of information. Bit A7 (the eighth bit of byte A, the first byte) indicates whether or not the MIL (check engine light) is illuminated. Bits A0 through A6 represent the number of diagnostic trouble codes currently flagged in the ECU. The second, third, and fourth bytes give information about the availability and completeness of certain on-board tests. Note that test availability signified by set (1) bit; completeness signified by reset (0) bit:

Mode 1 PID 03: A request for this PID returns 2 bytes of data. The first byte describes fuel system #1. Only one bit should ever be set.

The second byte describes fuel system #2 (if it exists) and is encoded identically to the first byte.

Mode 1 PID 12: A request for this PID returns a single byte of data which describes the secondary air status. Only one bit should ever be set.

Mode 1 PID 1C: A request for this PID returns a single byte of data which describes which OBD standards this ECU was designed to comply with. The hexadecimal and binary representations of the data byte are shown below next to what it implies:

Mode 1 PID 41: A request for this PID returns 4 bytes of data. The first byte is always zero. The second, third, and fourth bytes give information about the availability and completeness of certain on-board tests. Note that test availability signified by set (1) bit; completeness signified by reset (0) bit:

Mode 3: (no PID required) A request for this mode returns information about the DTCs that have been set. The response will be an integer number of packets each containing 6 data bytes. Each trouble code requires 2 bytes to describe, so the number of packets returned will be the number of codes divided by three, rounded up. A trouble code can be decoded from each pair of data bytes. The first character in the trouble code is determined by the first two bits in the first byte:

As of September 2005, only P and U generic DTCs are standardized.

The second character in the DTC is a number defined by

The third character in the DTC is a number defined by

The fourth and fifth characters are defined in the same way as the third, but using bits B7..B4 and B3..B0. The resulting five-character code should look something like 'U0158″ and can be looked up in a table of OBD-II DTCs.

Fuel Type Coding

Mode 1 PID 0×51 returns a value from an enumerated list giving the fuel type of the vehicle. The fuel type is returned as a single byte, and the value is given by

Non-standard PIDs

The majority of all OBD-II PIDs in use are non-standard. For most modern vehicles, there are many more functions supported on the OBD-II interface than are covered by the standard PIDs, and there is relatively minor overlap between vehicle manufacturers for these non-standard PIDs.

AutoEnginuity, who manufactures OBD-II scan tools, provides the following example on their website^[1]:

Although Ford does implement the largest subset of the OBDII standard, the typical vehicle only supports 20 – 40 [standard] sensors and is limited to the emissions powertrain. Using the enhanced Ford interface, a typical Ford vehicle will support 200 – 300 sensors within half a dozen systems; that's essential systems such as ABS, airbags, GEM, ICM, etc.

Our enhanced Ford interface coverage is only matched by factory tools; we have support for 3,400+ [Ford] sensors selected from all 58 [Ford] systems.

There is very limited information available in the public domain for non-standard PIDs. The primary source of information on non-standard PIDs across different manufacturers is maintained by the US-based Equipment and Tool Institute and only available to members. The price of ETI membership for access to scan codes starts from US $7500^[2]

However, even ETI membership will not provide full documentation for non-standard PIDs. ETI state^[2]

Some OEMs refuse to use ETI as a one-stop source of scan tool information. They prefer to do business with each tool company separately. These companies also require that you enter into a contract with them. The charges vary but here is a snapshot of today's per year charges as we know them:

$07. Show pending Diagnostic Trouble Codes (detected during current or last driving cycle)

$08. Control operation of on-board component/system

$09. Request vehicle information

CAN Bus format

The PID query and response occurs on the vehicle's CAN Bus. Physical addressing uses particular CAN IDs for specific modules (e.g., 720 for the instrument cluster in Fords). Functional addressing uses the CAN ID 7DFh, to which any module listening may respond.

Query

The functional PID query is sent to the vehicle on the CAN bus at ID 7DFh, using 8 data bytes. The bytes are:

Toyota Torque Specs 2010 Chart

Response

The vehicle responds to the PID query on the CAN bus with message IDs that depend on which module responded. Typically the engine or main ECU responds at ID 7E8h. Other modules, like the hybrid controller or battery controller in a Prius, respond at 07E9h, 07EAh, 07EBh, etc. These are 8h higher than the physical address the module responds to. Even though the number of bytes in the returned value is variable, the message uses 8 data bytes regardless. The bytes are:
