I have this in the PID text file

When I cick "save" and close, save the PID as it prompts, reopen the scanner, I see the PID for MPG and I can scan and read data! Great! Whoopie!


Now I want to ADD ANOTHER PID

So back to the PID text and I do this:

#Parameter Value Description

Click "save", close up, save the PID as prompted & reopen the scanner and the MPG is gone but the WBAFR Pid is there. DAMN! Why don't I see BOTH of the PIDs that I created!

[ringram]

the file needs to have both pids in it at the same time.

[joecar]

So does your final pid text file contain the definitions for both your MPG and WBAFR pids...?

In your second file I don't see the CLC-00-003/CALC.MPG definitions...

Also, I thought in the MPG formula your 2 should be a 4, shouldn't it (I may be wrong)...?

Edit: I can't find the thread showing the MPG formula...
Edit: Never mind, 2 is in the commented out formula and the actual formaula has 4, okay, I'm better now.

Edit: Ringram beat me by 4 minutes...

[joecar]

Yes, that appears correct.

Edit: If it's programmable, then you can be certain that it will fail the first few times (or more)...

Thank you, I've got 2 new PIDs showing now. Geeze, That needed to be tossed out as a sample somewhere. NO! I didn't find it!
