View Full Version : Setting up a drive pressure sensor using V2 interface?

Has anyone here setup a drive pressure sensor using EFILive? I've been looking around and found a 0-130psi sensor that has an output of 0-5v. I read in the scan tool manual on how to set it up, but it seems a little confusing to create a calculated PIDS. I would like to get this setup and start playing around with this since I feel it will be better to be able to log this data instead of just looking at the maximum from a gauge.

DuramaxPowered,
The calc_pids.txt is less confusing then it looks. :) The hardest part is determining a equation to change the voltage into something that is useful like PSI in your case. As far as hooking it up all EFILive needs is a input voltage and a ground for reference.

In the Calc_Pids check out this link to find out how to create a "custom" calculated PID:

Hope this helps. :D
