After-Market Engine & Trans Temp Gauges

[dozxab]

that’s because it’s called AeroForce.

My bad.

The vent gauge pod they offer says Lariat only. Did you use that or another solution? I have an XLT.

Sadly, no. I thought it was for non-Lariat and mangled my dash. It looks good enough for me, but it was too late for me to go back.

Which BT dongle did you use and which PIDs did you have to buy?

You can the buy the pid optional purchases within the OBD Fusion app….its Ford specific around $75…

OBD Fusion + extra Ford PIDs + BT Dongle + iPad Mini 4...

Wait a second, I bought full ”Ford, Lincoln “ PIDs but can not find trans temp. What I’m missing?

I'll have to check but I don't think it's the full Ford pack but a separate 2019 Ranger PID...

I bought the 2020 PID and ended up using the raw transmission temp (TFT) from that pack. There was another transmission fluid temp one but it said the sensor was unreliable.

Do report back with pics...

I haven't figured out how to display my OBD Fusion gauges on the Linkswell screen yet, at least not in combination with the navigation screen. I'll have to keep plugging away at it, but I can just display it on my phone when plowing if I haven't come up with anything by the time the snow flies.

It's a 2019 Ranger 2.3 pid module...

I believe that's basically the same as what I have, just for your 2019 where I have a 2020.

Hmmmmm… I have ‘21 and ‘23 and can not find trans temp PID, so I guess will buy ‘19

You probably just need to look again...I'll check where it's at in my ap later...

You should be able to search for TFT and find it that way. At least my Android OBD Fusion has a search bar within it when you go into the PID.

So I wanted to be able to monitor transmission temps on my Sync3 screen via CarPlay. I already had the OBD Link MX+ adapter that I had been using with my Android tablet and Torque Pro. I purchased the OBD Fusion app for my iPhone and also the 2022 Ford enhanced diagnostics. But there was no pre loaded PID for the transmission temperature. Had to build the PID through the user defined process. Searched high and low here and the web for someone who had already went that route on a 2022 to no avail.Found a PID that was used on a 2019 and loaded that. It gave me data but it was incorrect. Example: screen displayed temp as 286.02F when it was actually 141.12F ( verified by my Torque Pro app). Here’s what was weird, 141.12 C converts to 286.02F so the equation was doing something wrong. I contacted OBD Fusion and they confirmed the equation problem but didn’t suggest how to fix it. So I went back to the web and looked at all kinds of PIDs for any Fords and looked at how their equations were built. After trial and error I finally found the right equation. So here’s some screenshots of how my PID is built. I saw on here a few others with 2021-2023’s had the same issues so sharing this to save someone the headache of trying to figure it out.

For trans temp and battery info I use Car Scanner ELM OBD2 App. Works fine with Sync3

When I had my Ranger, I used the My Touch Calibrator as a gauge set after tuning the truck. I got Engine Coolant with Cylinder Head Temp along with Transmission Temp. I had a few other things as well. Now with my 2012 Frontier(different vehicle, I know) I use a Scan Gauge 2. With it I monitor Engine Coolant, Transmission Temp 1 and 2 along with real time MPG. Does well in my books.
