If greater than 10, it indicates a fuel mixture problem.
#FORD PID LIST PLUS#
As with LTFT, the number should usually be plus or minus five. If the fuel system is open loop, 0% correction should be reported. Short Term Fuel Trim (STFT) - The correction factor being used in closed loop by the PCM to maintain a balanced fuel mixture.If the LTFT is higher than 10 either way, it may indicate a problem. Negative LTFT numbers mean the PCM is delivering less fuel to compensate for a rich fuel condition. Positive LTFT numbers indicate the PCM is adding more fuel to compensate for a lean fuel condition. LTFT should typically be within plus or minus five. Long Term Fuel Trim (LTFT) - The correction factor (percentage) being used by the fuel control system in both open and closed loop modes of operation.Pressure - Pressure in the intake manifold derived from a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor.Ignition Timing Advance - Degrees of ignition timing (spark) advance for #1 cylinder (not including mechanical advance).Fuel Rail Pressure - Pressure in the fuel rail when the reading is referenced to atmosphere (gauge pressure).Engine RPM - The current engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).If the actual temperature and displayed temperature do not match, it would tell you the coolant sensor is not reading correctly. You can use an infrared thermometer or other thermometer to measure the temperature of the coolant at the thermostat outlet. This value should be compared to the actual coolant temperature to see if they match. Engine Coolant Temperature - Engine coolant temperature as read by the engine coolant temperature sensor.Reaches 100% at wide open throttle at any altitude or RPM for both naturally aspirated and boosted engines. Calculated Load Value - Indicates a percentage of peak available torque.

Usually above 0% at idle and less than 100% at full throttle.

That's why many professional technicians own multiple scan tools: an aftermarket general purpose scan tool, and one or more OEM scan tools for the makes they most frequently work on. The trouble is you never know what PIDS are missing until you go looking for one and find it isn't there.
#FORD PID LIST SOFTWARE#
Most general purpose aftermarket scan tools do not contain the software that allows them to match the OEM scan tools in every respect - but for most applications they can display all the important PIDS. The OEM scan tools used by new car dealers are capable of displaying every possible PID value that is built into the engine management system. SCAN TOOL PID CAPABILITYĭifferent scan tools have different capabilities to display PIDS. PIDS can also be compared using a "graphing multimeter" or on a scope that converts the voltage values to waveforms.Ĭomparing the waveforms of several related sensors can help you find faults that might otherwise be impossible to detect. You can also compare PIDS to see how one component may be affecting another.įor example, when you suddenly open the throttle on an idling engine, rpm should increase, the TPS reading should change and the MAP sensor value should drop. PIDS provide valuable diagnostic information when checking the operation or status of various sensors, circuits and switches in the vehicle's engine management system.įor example, if the MIL lamp is on and you find an oxygen sensor code, you can call up the oxygen sensor PIDS on your scan tool display to see what the oxygen sensor is telling the PCM. Long and Short Term Fuel Trim, O2 sensor cross counts, injector duration.(Oxygen sensor rich/lean indication, coolant temperature, MAP value, TPS value, vehicle speed, mass air flow, ambient temperature, engine rpm, etc.) (Ready or Complete, or Not Ready or Incomplete) Status of the OBD II System Component Monitors.

PIDS are the serial data that can be accessed from the vehicle computer using a scan tool.
