Gen2 Prius: Custom PIDs for Torque (Android App) with formulas

Tha

That should have worked just fine through windows. In ES File Explorer choose menu (on my nexus 7 it's three dots in the bottom right), then settings, then file settings and check "show hidden files."

 

I ended up switching to File Expert since I couldn't set ES to display hidden dirs/files. I found the custom PIDS in the root dir and moved the to the .torque/extendedpids.

Seems to work fine now. Just have to learn how to use all these custom PIDs. Then get into some data logging.

Since I am going to be doing a plug-in conversion, will I be able to find custom PIDs for info on the additional battery bank??

Thanks those who developed this App and the contributers here.

Kuddos for all the contributors of this thread.................I did not understand half of it but what I DID understand was highly helpful and for that...........THANK YOU!!

 

Just found this thread over the last couple of days as I was looking for something to better look at and diagnose my 2007 Prius. I have already paid for the Torque Pro, to use on my 7" Google Nexus, and am awaiting a bluetooth OBDII adapter. I look forward to trying it, along with the custom PIDs provided by the members of this thread- thank you very much!

I would ask, though- much of what is discussed here seems to assume a certain level of knowledge- acronyms, abreviations, what not. Is there any document that explains all that? Additionally, is there, in one place, anything that explains all of the PIDs- i.e. what exactly is one looking at, and more importantly, what is one looking for- what are the good and bad values, and if bad values, what are the possibilities?

This is perhaps a tall order, but given the age of this thread, I am hopeful some brave soul has already compiled such a lexicon;-)

 

What issue are you trying to diagnose? I just did a rebuild on my HV battery pack due to error codes :

P0A60 - Voltage difference between battery blocks is higher than standard
P3019 - BATTERY BLOCK 9 BECOMES WEAK

After finishing the job I created the following dashboard using the PIDs provided so that I could monitor the voltage across my hybrid battery pack. Hopefully I can use this to see if more problems are on the way since I didn't re-balance my battery pack.



I haven't read through this full 20 page thread, but I am curious to find out why voltage is at 16v and only 14 packs, versus what I expected of 7.2v over 28 packs (looks to be doubled up, but haven't confirmed).

 

I wonder if anyone can help me with this query.

I have got android and torque app, with usbseawolf pid`s installed and working ok.

I have got an Enginer phev kit installed on the car and was wondering if there are any prius specific mpg or l/km pid`s for the prius, I have tried some of the dials on mpg but they all show 0(zero) I know this info has to be somewhere as owners with scanguage can view thier mpg`s with plu in kits showing over the 100mpg values as the on screen display in the prius only shows 99.9. If the sanguage can see the readings above 100mpg i`m assuming the data is somewhere just need to ead and see it.

Many thanks, Anthony.

 

The PIDs provided by usbseawolf2000 like "Trip average KPL" "Trip average MPG" "Trip Litres/100 KM" all work with the Prius.

You might have to go into the settings for how Torque communicates with your OBDII adapter and make sure that "Don't calculate MPG/Fuel" isn't checked and that "Enhanced MPG calculation" is checked, this gives me more accurate readings as without that being enabled, it detects 0MPG during gliding or regen for me and lowers the trip average mpg (even though the MFD is pegged at 99.9 MPG). I'm under the assumption that you're operating in EV mode the majority of the time so that may be why you're seeing 0 MPG on the gauges without the enhanced MPG calculation being enabled.

 

Many thanks for that info, i`ll check that out staight away and report back with the findings. You are correct in the assumption that i travel most of the time in EV mode.

Thank you. Prius Cub

 

You're quite welcome

 

What equipment/tools did you use to rebuild the pack.?? Where did you get different cells from. ??...

 

Yea I am curious about this statement too. 7.2vdc 6.5ah module times 28 modules 201 vdc.

 

The Prius treats every two modules/packs as a pair or block, so the reported voltage is the combined voltage of both modules. So rather than seeing voltages for 28 individual modules, you see the combined voltage of 14 blocks/pairs of 2 modules each.

 

Another small query if i may please regarding the prius pid`s.

As I have a phev conversion and do travel in ev mode quite frequently, can someone please highlight what pid i use to monitor and adjust the hv battery fan and set it higher speed to cool it more effectively when travelling in ev mode.

Thanks again for you help.

Best regards, Anthony

 

Hi Wegortw-
I am trying to figure out a few things;-) I see you got the answer about the battery packs. We love our Prius- but it is not getting the mileage it should- furthermore, and I think this is all related- it runs 'rough' intermittantly. Also, after a couple of longer trips (to Fort Worth one time, from San Antonio back to Austin another), the engine would hesitate badly when trying to accelerate- had to turn off the cruise control and accerate slowly, especially up hills. When it is running 'rougher,' even after warmed up and with several blue bars on the battery, then engine will not stop running, even when coasting or at stop signs or stop lights.

Using the method from here: (search 'artsautomotive predictive battery failure' for Prius battery test)
- our traction battery looks fine. The voltage is also very good on the 12 volt battery. As a best guess, we had the fuel pump, which included the fuel filter and gas tank, replaced- unfortunately, it was not the problem;-)

We have a 2007 Prius with around 55,000 miles on it (maybe a bit more now). We also had the engine replaced when we first got it last August (long story), with a used one with slightly less miles than ours had- Toyota in Round Rock did the replacement- did not affect the MPG. Another shop also replaced the AC Compressor before that (AC works really well at least;-)

I am not a knowledgeable car guy- but hope to learn enough to use the measurements from the Torque app to narrow down the possibilities, since no error codes are being given by the Prius. It is hard, though, to find much on how to interpret that data the Torque gathers. I did find a couple of inexpensive e-books on Amazon- they look like they will be helpful, but even a cursory glance tells me it assumes more mechanic-level expertise than I posess;-)

So- if you, or anyone else for that matter, has any guidance, I am all ears!

Oh- and very cool about you rebuilding your own traction battery!

 

I don't believe there's a way to manage the battery fan speed through Torque, you can only monitor the speed level. There is a way to modify the fan to get the fan to operate at full speed on demand, located here.

 

Hi Prius_Cub,

Yes, there is. Pls checkout this thread.

You may need to modify ModeAndPID which lopezjm2001 has found to work in his Gen2.
