Hi. I see all this hype about torque pro and pids but nobody actually goes in depth to explain which are crucial, what they mean, and at what readings we should be worried. For example, I'm trying to see if the HV batt fan is working properly. I get voltage (~10.4v) and the fan speed is always at 1. Should I be worried? How many speeds there are?
Hybrid Assistant A bit more turnkey than Torque Pro if you're only interested monitoring various systems.
The HV battery fan has six (6) speeds, I generally run mine at speed 6 to keep the HV battery as cool as possible. There was a PID that potentially saved me, I had set an alarm to alert if the coolant exceeds 200F. Maybe 10 seconds after Torque alerted me the dash lit up all on its own, of course I was already pulling over and had an idea of what the problem might be.
Really depends on what you specifically want to know. For me, I most often am checking in of multiple cars for a quick peak at the pack. So I look at the block voltage readings for each of the 14 blocks. Also HV battery SOC HV battery voltage HV Current engine temp accessory battery voltage Engine revs HV battery fan speed
