help with calc_pids.txt file

[GSXRTURBO1]

I'm very new at this... I need help with displaying my boost pressure correctly (minus BARO) on my dashboard when datalogging boost. I know I need to modify my calc_pids.txt file in User Cinfiguration, but I can't figure out what to change and what values to use. I'm data logging using the BOOST_M Turbo Boost Pressure PID. Please Help!

Try the attached calc_pids.txt.



( if you do edit it for any reason, make sure to leave at least 2 blank lines at the end )

Thanks... I saved the file you sent as the new calc_pids.txt, but when I replay a log file the dashboard is still showing 14.5 psi when it should be 0 psi, so it appears the offset isn't being displayed. Do I need to log again to have those settings take effect?

Perhaps this info will help:

Duramax LB7
In the Data screen with a previously recorded log file open, the Caption is BOOST_DMA, the Description is Turbo Boost Pressure, min value is 14.2 (should be 0), the Parameter is GM.BOOST_DMA, the System is diesel.

Are you displaying the new pid "CALC.BOOST" on the dashboard (gauge or chart)...?


Post a screenshot.

I don't think so, as I don't see anything that says CALC.BOOST

I'm not sure how to post a screenshot...

[joecar]

Did you copy the new cal_pids.txt file to the User Configuration folder...?

In the V7 scantool, on the PIDs tab, did you select these pids: CALC.BOOST, SAE.MAP, SAE.BARO...?

Let's see if this works...
