Ultragauge mx1.3 reading trans temp (1 Viewer)

[SM09WA]

got the mx v1.3 ultra-gauge delivered today,

spent the Arvo playing with it

after a few frustrating hours I finally got the trans temp and torque converter lock ups to read on it

Very happy with product and cheap and easy to use

What model LC200 and what was your code?

This was the code for the pre-MY16 diesel LC200 VDJ200R. I am trying to work out the code for the URJ202R.

Transmission Temp #1 (*C)
Abbr1: TFT Abbr2: 1*C
TDATA: 07E121D9000000
TCTRL: 92 RCTRL: 10
RPOS: 0810 MTCH: 210000
X: 0001 /: 0100 +: FFD8
Out Format: 00 Ave: 00
Left/Right: 32

Transmission Temp #2 (*C)
Abbr1: TFT Abbr2: 2*C
TDATA: 07E121D9000000
TCTRL: 92 RCTRL: 10
RPOS: 1810 MTCH: 210000
X: 0001 /: 0100 +: FFD8
Out Format: 00 Ave: 00
Left/Right: 32

You can name them whatever you want in the Abbr1 and Abbr2.

I have a URJ202R and the previous trans temp code posted for the VDJ200R did not work.

This provides a trans temp in *F:

Abbr1:TFT Abbr2:*F
TData: 07E02182000000
TCtrl:92 RCtrl:21
RPos:2808 Mtch:618200
X:0009 /:0005 +:FFD8
Out Format:00 Ave:00
Left/Right:31

Here is the change from *F to *C ...

Abbr1:TFT Abbr2:*C
TData: 07E02182000000
TCtrl:92 RCtrl:21
RPos:2808 Mtch:618200
X:0001 /:0001 +:FFD8
Out Format:00 Ave:00
Left/Right:31

How do I get the second trans temp? Background info with the only two different numbers on the VDJ code being:
RPOS: 1810 and 0810 to provide the two different sensors on the VDJ202R
RPOS: 2808 and ???? to provide the two different sensors on the URJ202R

I use EngineLink on my iPhone so you will need to translate what I have, but on my non-diesel 2013 200-series LC
I added two custom PIDs:

• Toyota A/T Pan Temp. PID 2182. Formula ((((A*256+B)*(7/100)-400)/10). Range -40 to 300. Units are F.
• Toyota A/T TC Temp. PID 2182. Formula ((((C*256+D)*(7/100)-400)/10). Range -40 to 300. Units are F.

I have no idea how to translate that formula to something Ultragauge understands though.

Mind sharing what you used, I am having no luck on trans temps (2017)

@TomasAllan I believe the 2016-2018 8-speed has different PIDs than the 2008-2015 6-speed, so his values probably won't work for you. I think there may be a posting with PIDs for the 8-speed somewhere though it may not be for the Scangauge/Ultragauge.

Thanks man I appreciate the reply, I'll keep looking and working on it.

 

[TomasAllan]

This seems to be working for me, I thought I'd share as I am sure others might look for it at some point.... took a lot of trial and error and going back and forth with the Ultra-Gauge guys (very helpful and willing)

You should be able to get the torque converter temp too. The PIDs are the same, it's just the variables used that change. In EngineLink the calculation just changes from variables A and B to C and D, so for some set of values you probably just need to increment by 1 or 2. TC temp is nice because it's a leading indicator for where the pan temp is heading

True, I will prob take on that this weekend.

Hey guys! I just purchased a 2013 LC and wanted to get the Ultragauge MX v. 1.4. The preprogramming selection lists a LC 200 4.6L, 4.7L, and and 4.5L 2007- mid 2016. It doesn’t list the 5.7L. I’m guessing that this is a misprint and I need to select this one, but I’ve seen others that are using the Tacoma/ tundra CAN programming. I emailed them and their reply was to read the FAQ and knowledge base. I figured someone on here could give me a quick answer! Also are the trans temp parameters posted earlier still working for everyone or is there updated info? Thanks in advance!

 

[greenseaman]

So does the 5.7L gas on the 2013 use 9141 protocol or the 11 bit CAN? Ultragauge just told me that I have 9141 but I thought that was on older vehicles... They said that the MX 1.4 features would not be available on the 2013. What does the forum say?

 

[greenseaman]

Nevermind, it is not the 9141, he thought I had a 2003.

I just received my ultra-gauge yesterday and got it hooked up but haven’t had a chance to set up the pages yet.

Did you manage to read gauges ? If yes, which gauges? In my case I was able to read Pan/Torque Converter temp and Coolant temp. Although I want to read second gear box temp gauge, gear box indicator and t/c lockup status for my 2008, 5.7.

 

[greenseaman]

I was able to get the pan temp and coolant temp on my 2013 5.7.

Can you post a shot of the gauge programming pages for Torque Converter and Transmission Pan temps?

 

[greenseaman]

I’ll try to find it! I printed it from the manual.

 

[greenseaman]

This is what I used!

I have spent a lot of time trying to get my gauges works with LC 5.7 2008
Finally done, here is list of settings I used:

Gear Position:
Abbr1: Sft Abbr2: Pos
TData: 07E021DA000000
TCtrl: 92 RCtrl: 21
RPos: 1808 Mtch:61DA00

Torque Converter Lock Up Status:

TCtrl: 92 RCtrl: 21
RPos:1901 Mtch:61DA00
X: 0001 /:0001 +: 6000

Transmission Temp (Torque Converter) Celsius:
Abbr1: Trn Abbr2: C
TData: 07E021D900000
TCtrl:92 RCtrl: 10
RPos:1810 Mtch:210000

Out Format: 00 Ave:00

Transmission Temp (Pan) Celsius:
"Abbr1: Trn Abbr2: ""C
TData: 07E021D900000
TCtrl:92 RCtrl: 10
RPos:0810 Mtch:210000

Out Format: 00 Ave:00
Left/Right:31"


To have Fahrenheits instead of Celsius you have to replace Out Format from 00 to 10.
I have realized, that lock up indicator not really important, since Gear Position indicator shows additional 8 symbol when TC is locked (for instance 5 became 85 on display).

Also thinking to try Alternator Duty Ratio, Actual Fuel Temperature and Return Fuel Temperature gauges, but this looks not really important for me.
