Guide: Converting ScanGauge Codes to Torque Pro PIDs - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum
The final four are the trickiest. If you have an F, E, D, C, B, A, 9, or 8 as the first character -- as we do in our example -- then you will be subtracting this number. To calculate this, use Windows Calculator again and set it to Hex. Enter the value and click the 'XOR' key and enter “FFFE”. Click “=”, then click the decimal button and you will see what value you have to subtract from the equation.
If it doesn't start with one of the previous characters, then we will be adding this value.
The code is FFD8 so use hex. hit xor then FFFE. Then hit decimal which gives 38.
I thought you were converting Celcius into Fharenheit with some exotic formula, was thinking about Reamur, since that was an incorrect C to F conversion. I am familiar with HEX. 9/5 led me to the temp conversion that threw me off, e.g. C*9/5+32
I believe tft1/trans temp is correct temp mine is around 120-140 deg f and went up with hard acceleration. Max seen was about 142 deg. TFT 2 is off and varying from -38 to 350, not sure what reading it was picking up.

I'm looking to get a BT ODB2 but which to get? I see some of the ones linked in the earlier part of this thread going back a few years but which one is guaranteed/reliable to work with my 2000 LC100? I tried to use the one for my BMW but t will not connect so I am assuming its the BT device. Thanks.

iOS or Android?
I use this one, stays plugged in all the time in our LC. For $10, sure works good. I use Android Torque as well.

Android. I have the Torque app already.

Thanks for your help. I'm trying it with OBD Fusion on a mini ipad and two things....
1. I have a "Metric to English Offset" and "x1" is not a valid value.
2. I need to enter in a PID Number. I tried using the OBD Number and it doesn't work.
I tried a lot of different combos and still "No Data Received".
Ugh I find it hard to believe no iOS app developers can get this to work? Torque coming to iOS soon? ha
Tredwards,
Still working with my scan gauge before jumping to the Torque app. But A very BIG thank you for doing the homework on the getting the Scanguage TFT input data. I have an 05LC and could not get anything else to work(I've tried a bunch). I just plugged in your data and it works
. I need to drive it long enough to get up to operating temps to confirm its accurate- but so far so good. I wonder though about the stated trans operating temps people are posting 120's-160's, seems low in comparison to other vehicles.
This makes me ask the question where the sensors are. Do we know where the trans temp sensor is in the LC 5-speed tranny, or if there is more than 1? The operating temps posted seem low compared to my other two trucks (Dodge 4speed diesel, and a Dodge 8speed gas) which are pretty consistently operating in the 190 range which match closely to engine coolant temps.
I read somewhere the trans temps will vary depending on where the sensor is placed: output side of the torque converter (hottest), or input side post trans cooler(coolest). Knowing accurately what the hottest operating temps are averaging before it goes into the cooler is important data for monitoring fluid health, i.e. planning of fluid change intervals. Especially important if you tow a trailer or tote heavy loads.

There is one in the pan and downstream of the TC on your 05 LC.
Thanks- makes sense that the temps would be lower in that area. I got a bit off topic, so thanks for the help.
I'm dragging up an old thread to aid anyone who is looking for a current solution to using Torque Pro on Android with a BT adapter.
This is the adapter I purchased in September of last year for $10.99.
I also use an iPhone for my daily phone, and have been disappointed that there are no option for iOS as inexpensive and capable as TorquePro for Android. So I remembered that I had used this adapter with my old Samsung Galaxy S5 to read codes from my Honda Odyssey and Toyota Tacoma. So I dug it back out and hooked it up to the scanner and set up a profile for my 2007 Land Cruiser.
Since I plan to tow a trailer to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in August, I'm interested in knowing the automatic transmission fluid temperatures and other vital temps. At first when I attempted to add the stock ATF sensors from the list in the app I got nothing for ATF method 1 or 2. I did some Googling and found this and a couple of other links that all pointed to the same formula.

So I have two custom sensors set up. To do this from the main Torque screen click the gear icon to go to settings, then scroll down to "Manage extra PID/Sensors"
The image above includes all the particulars you need to set it up for your app. I then set up a custom real time chart with TFT1&2, Engine coolant temp and engine oil temp. Torque seems to automatically include pause and trip marks. I can't get a reading for engine oil temp, but the ATF temps seem to be displaying correctly. What do you guys think about the temps in the graph below?

what do you put for diagnostic start/stop command?
looks like mine mostly. I don't get above 200 on coolant and I haven't seen above 150 on the tranny. Using the same equation as you, but only the tranny #1 temp. If I were to graph, they'd look like yours. Is that a 4 minute time frame?
The numbers on the bottom I'm referring to
put up rpm on the graph also, then put short term fuel trim, egt pre cat and o2 voltage.
JK, I think it's great man. Amazing what can be done with 20$ these days.
15 years ago it cost a boatload to monitor and log all those sensors live.

Anyone see anything like this ever happen in their fuel trims?
Veepeak OBD2 xmtr, Torque, PixelXL, 98 LC.
I would say comm drop-out but it is almost always 2x1 and 2x2 that are the problems, but once in a while 1x1. Inconsistent too, sometimes all are fine all the way to work. I have had bad mpg (12) so trying to troubleshoot, and that's when I started noticing the drop-outs so no prior experience to compare to.
I also find it odd that 6 of the 8 seem flatlined.
Ideas/things I could test?

did -30 become the new zero while I was drinking? lol sorry.
Mr Dave, something is off with the scale. Long term should be +-10%, short term +-5% give or take a few. Look in techstream. I think if you were running in open loop you'd get a light. If there are no drivability issues I wouldn't assume there's a fuel delivery problem.
I think there are only long and short term, one each per bank.

I leave both of them blank, as well as OBD Header...
I made sure to find the actual degrees symbol for the unit type, see pictures
Could someone please ELI5, explain like I'm five years old, what monitoring the fuel trims tell you and what you can do with the information?
Also, is there a way we can post and share different real time charts and dashboards with each other? I know you guys have been doing this for a while and I'd like to learn better what and why to monitor. Thanks.
