Custom sensors (PIDs)

Car Scanner allows you add custom sensors (also known as “custom PIDs”) to get data, defined by your car manufacturer.

To create custom sensor you need to know at least 2 things:
1. How to make a request to ECU to get the data you need:
Command = Mode + PID,  e.g. 010C for engine RPM
Header = address where to send request, e.g. 7E0 for CAN 11bit protocol. You can leave header blank. In that case default functional header for current protocol would be used. Most of custom PIDs requires correct header!

2. How to decode received data: Formula (Equation).
To point at certain bytes in response use latin letters: A, B, C, D .. Z, AA, AB, .. AZ, BA, BB, .. BZ, … etc. , where letter A stands for 1st byte in response, letter B stands for second byte in response, etc.
Attention! Formula is case sensitive!
To determine first byte, Car Scanner skips some bytes in response from ECU: header bytes, data length, response to certain mode marker (e.g. mode 01 -> response marker 41) and PID id.
Example: request 010C (engine RPM) would give you response: 7E804410C0C9C, where Car Scanner would skip 7E804410C.
So we have only 0C9C data left.
Letter A would mean 0C, letter B would mean 9C

You can use mathematical operators like *, /, , +. Example: A+B
To change calculation order use brakets ( ), like: (A*256+B)/4
You can use floating point numbers in formula using dot “.”: e.g. A+13.54

Bitwise functions supported:
Bitwise unary complement: @~
Bitwise AND: @&
Bitwise exclusive OR: @^
Shift left: @<<
Shift right: @>>
Examples: A@<<16, C&7, etc.

Additional functions (funtion arguments should be always separated by “,“):
GetBit(A,N), where A – byte number, N – bit number, from 0 to 7
SIGNED(A), signed(A), Signed(A) – treat byte as signed (-128 .. 127)
ShortSigned(A,B) – treat 2 bytes as 16-bit signed value
And(A,B) – bitwise AND, same as A@&B
Shr(A,B) – bitwise shift right, same as A@>>B
Shl(A,B) – bitwise shift left, same as A@<<B
MAX(A,B) – returns maximum value from A and B
MIN(A,B) – return minimum value from A and B
abs(A) – return unsigned value, e.g. abs(-1)=1, abs(-123456)=123456, abs(123456)=123456
FLOAT32(A,B,C,D), float32(A,B,C,D) – returns IEEE 754 floating point value from 4 given bytes.
FLOAT64(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H), float64(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) – returns IEEE 754 floating point value from 8 given bytes.
if(A,B,C) – logic function, if A=1, returns B, else returns C. You can use “=” or “<” or “>” for comparison.
Example: if(A>5;5;A).  If A greater than 5, return 5, else return A. With A=6 this would return 5. With A=3 this would return 3.
SetVar(key,value) – store in memory some value. Car Scanner has a key-value dictionary, that is shared for all pids. Key – any integer number, e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 9999. Value – any value, e.g. 45.24. Returns the same value.
SetVarOnce(key,value) – store in memory some value, ONLY if it is  not stored there yet (with the same key). Returns the same value.
GetVar(key,default_value) – get value from dictionary previously set by SetVar or SetVarOnce. If value doesn’t exist in shared dictionary yet, returns default value. Example: GetVar(123,789.244) – returns value, stored in key 123, but if there’s no value with such key it returns 789.244
You can refer other sensors by 2 ways:
1) PID(ID) or pid(ID) – get other sensor value, where ID is sensor ID (you can check ID in Settings -> Sensors). Example: PID(5)
2) {name}, where name – is exact pid full name (case sensitive). Example: {Fuel temperature}

You can add commands, that would be executed BEFORE and after requesting PID (Start diagnostic command and stop diagnostic commands). This commands should be fully qualified ELM327 commands, separated by “;” or “,” or “\”. Example: ATCRA7E8,ATFCSH7E0,ATFCSD300000

Action PIDs.
Action PIDs are executed when you tap on them. Response is not decoded.
Example of usage: create custom action pid for some command, that starts a routine, like forced DPF regeneration.
Don’t forget, you still need to know header and command for that.

Name and Short name fields can be entered as you wish.
Minimum and maximum fields can be skipped.

How to find malfunctioning ABS sensors on Toyota Land Crusier Prado 150

Warning! Car Scanner capabilities of reading different data are not the same for all cars! The list of supported sensors depends on the vehicle and the selected connection profile!

One day, my work colleague saw a bunch of warning inidicators on his Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 (2010) dashboard. The ABS, ESP, power steering, all-wheel drive and other lights came up.

Moreover, the main difficulty was that the lamps went out and then appeared again and, unfortunately, when he tried to read DTC code, there were no DTC in memory and warning indicators were off.
So, the problem was floating, not always repeating. According to the owner of the car, at the time when the warning lights came on, ABS and ESP system stopped working too.

I suggested to check the ABS sensors, because a lot of systems in modern cars actually depends on ABS sensors. To do this, the Toyota 2010+ OBDII with extra sensors connection profile was selected in Car Scanner. This connection profile allows you to get the speed of each wheel individually.

Then in the Dashboard we create a page with 4 sensors and set them up: FL wheel speed, FR wheel speed, RL wheel speed, RR wheel speed. I also make sure that the owner has data recording enabled in Car Scanner.

The owner goes to ride with Car Scanner, on the screen of which the dashboard panel with wheels speed is displayed. The next day, we opened Data recording, found data record file selected four parameters that we already know (FL wheel speed, FR wheel speed, RL wheel speed, RR wheel speed) for displaying on one chart.

And carefully look at the graph: three wheels all the time showed approximately the same speed (taking into account the tolerances in the corners), and one – the front left (displayed in yellow on the graph) gave the correct speed, then 20-40 km/h less. The speed on this wheel changed chaotically and unrealistically, especially comparing to 3 other wheels.

It immediately became clear that the problem was either in the front left wheel sensor itself or in the wiring to this sensor. Most likely due to the fact that some data from the sensor were received by the brain, and these data were 50% correct, the system could not unambiguously determine what the problem was.

After replacing the front left ABS sensor, the problem went away and did not occur again.

 

Data recording

Car Scanner provides you with the ability to record data received from a car for further evaluation or processing.

Recording data

In order to enable data recording, go to Data recording on the main screen and turn on the “Data recording” switch (enabled by default).
This can be done while Car Scanner is connected to the car, but I recommend doing it before connecting.

Before you begin, you need to understand a few simple rules:

  1. Car Scanner records only the data that is displayed on the screen.
    Example: if you want to record engine load and engine RPM, set “Dashboard” or “Live data” to display them.
  2. In addition to the displayed data, the data that comes with the requested data is recorded too.
    Example: when you request an oxygen sensor voltage, the answer from ECU always contains a short-term fuel trim (STFT). If you set Live data or Dashboard to show only oxygen sensor voltage on the screen, then you will see oxygen sensor voltage and short-term fuel trim in the saved file.
  3. If you set Car Scanner to display a parameter that depends on another parameter, then the output parameter, all parameters on which it depends, and all other parameters that have the same dependencies will be recorded.
    Example: if you set Car Scanner to show “Vehicle speed”, then in the saved file you will get “Vehicle speed”, “Average speed” and “Total distance”.
  4. If you turned on the parameter “Always calculate and save fuel consumption”, then in addition to the above parameters, all parameters related to fuel consumption and all parameters on which the calculation of consumption depends will be recorded.
  5. The file with the record is saved in two cases: when you click on the “Disconnect” button and when you turn off the “Record data” option.
    If you exit the program before disconnecting from the car or go to the “Data recording” section during recording, you will not find the file with the current recording there.
  6. Only data that has a numeric value is recorded. Data with a text value is not recorded.

Viewing recorded data

In order to view the recorded data, go to Data Recording and tap on the desired file.
You will see a list of recorded parameters. Select the ones you want to display by ticking them.
You can choose one of two options for data presentation:
1. Display of each selected parameter on a separate chart
2. Display all selected parameters in the general graph.

When viewing, you can scale and scroll through the graphs. In the mode of the combined graph, you can select the zoom mode: along the X axis, along the Y axis, or along both axes simultaneously.
If you hold your finger on the chart, you will see the current value of the indicator at the selected point.

Export Recorded Data

You can export the recorded data in order to open it on a PC or Mac, or to share it with other Car Scanner users.
Export is possible in two formats: CSV and BRC.
CSV is the simplest format of spreadsheets and you can open it with a notepad or MS Excel or similar other apps.
BRC is an internal data storage format. It can only be read by the Car Scanner program.
The export process is different for iOS and Android versions!

Method number 1 for iOS:
1) Swipe from right to left on the file that you want to export, click “More” and “Share
2) Select the format you want: CSV or BRC
3) Select the app to export. You can use the mail client, instant messengers, cloud storage (Dropbox, etc.)

Method number 2 for iOS (you need a Mac or PC, iTunes, export is possible only in BRC format):
1) Connect your iPhone / iPad to a Mac or PC and wait for it to appear in iTunes
2) Click on the connected device in iTunes and go to “Shared Files”
3) Select the program Car Scanner
4) Find the file you need in the list and simply drag it to the desktop or to any other folder on your Mac or PC.

Optimizing connection speed

Tips for increasing the speed of reading parameters

1. First of all, you need to understand that the number of parameters polled at the same time affects the reading speed most of all.
The more sensors are read in turn, so the more parameters the Car Scanner needs to read, the more time it takes to read each one.
For example, if reading one parameter takes 100 ms, then reading 4 parameters takes 400 ms.
Enabling “Always read and calculate fuel consumption” feature also negatively affects the speed of reading the parameters.
Therefore, if the reading speed is important for you, try to reduce the number of parameters, that are requested at the same time.

2. For cars operating under the CAN 11bit and CAN 29bit protocols, you can enable Request optimization (Settings – Adapter – Advanced settings – Optimize requests for faster data reading). Enabling this function can accelerate simultaneous reading of several parameters up to 6 times.

3. Configuring the timeout for the adapter to receive data (Settings – Adapter – Advanced settings – ELM327 send ATST command). This command determines the time interval after which the adapter considers that there will be no new data from the ECU and passes them to the program. The lower the value (for example Send 8), the faster the data exchange, but the connection to the ECU will be less stable. Too low values ​​will not allow the ECU to be connected at all. High values ​​(96 and FF) are used to improve the stability of the connection by reducing the speed.
Thus, you need to gradually reduce the value of the Send ATST command and check the stability of the connection. After changing the Send ATST command, you must reconnect to the computer! Changing a setting does not affect an already established connection.
For example, on my car – Kia Sportage SL 2014 with Viecar Bluetooth 4 adapter I get highest speed with ATST=16, but sometimes packets are lost. 100% stable connection with ATST=32. But with a crap cheap adapter I can’t get stable connection even with ATST=64.

Some cars like old Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda requires high ATST values like 96.

4. If you want to get readings, received from different control units (for example, from the engine block and from the automatic transmission unit), then this increases the polling time even more, because. before each request, Car Scanner have to spend some time reconfiguring the ELM327 adapter to work with the new control unit (engine, automatic transmission, etc.).
Therefore, in order to achieve maximum speed, it is recommended to interrogate parameters located in one control unit.

Configuring Bluetooth connection on Android

First of all make sure, that you have OBDII ELM327 adapter with Bluetooth.

You should plug it inside the diagnostic socket in your car (known as “OBDII socket”) and turn on ignition or start the engine. If your adapter has a power button on it’s body – press it.

Step #1: Pair your phone/tablet with OBD2 adapter. If you have already done that – skip to Step #2.

WARNING! Depending on different Android versions, pairing may be done in some other way.

Open Android settings and locate Bluetooth section. Turn on Bluetooth and wait until your adapter would be discovered.

Usually it’s called “OBDII”, “obd2” or something like that. If it’s branded, it could be called as it’s brand (e.g. “Viecar”, “VLink”, etc.). Please, note, that it’s NEVER called like your car brand or “MY CAR” or something like that.

Tap on it to pair your phone/tablet with OBD2 adapter. Adapter would ask you for PIN-code.

If you don’t know PIN code, check your adapter documentation. Usually it’s “1234”, “0000”, “7890” or “1111”.

Step #2: Select adapter in Car Scanner.

Open Car Scanner and go to Settings (gear icon in the top-right corner)

Tap on “Adapter” (in old versions – “Connection”)

Select Connection type: Buetooth

Tap on “Select device” and you’ll see device selection screen.

Tap on your adapter’s name.

That’s all, now you have adapter selected and you need to go back and tap on big green “Connect” button.

Next time all you need to do is just tap on “Connect” button

Don’t forget to press power button on your adapter before connecting, if it has one.

Configuring Wi-Fi connection to ELM327 adapter

First of all make sure, that you have OBDII ELM327 adapter with Wi-Fi connection type. You should plug it inside the diagnostic socket in your car (known as “OBDII socket”) and turn on ignition or start the engine. If your adapter has a power button on it’s body – press it.

Step #1: Open your Phone/Tablet Wi-Fi settings (NOT Car Scanner settings) and turn on Wi-Fi.

Locate Wi-Fi network, created by ELM327 OBDII adapter and connect to it.

Usually it’s called “OBDII”, “OBD2”, “WIFI_OBDII” or something like that. Sometimes it’s name has something familiar with your adapter brand (e.g. VGate adapters usually have “VLINK” network name).

Most of adapters doesn’t require password for WiFi network, but if your adapter requires that – follow documentation that comes with your adapter.

Please, note, that it’s NEVER called like your car brand.

iOS
Android

Step #2. Car Scanner setup.

Open Car Scanner and go to Settings (gear icon in the top-right corner).

Tap on “Adapter” (in old versions – “Connection”)

Select Connection type: Wi-Fi

Make sure that you have correct adapter IP address and port. For most cases it’s IP address is 192.168.0.10 and port is 35000, but some adapters have different settings, so you should check documentation that comes with your adapter.

That’s all! Now all you need to do is tap on big green “Connect” button that’s located.

When you want to connect next time, just make sure that you’re connected to OBD2 WiFi network and tap on “Connect” button.

 

 iOS Wi-Fi connection troubleshooting

 

Configuring Bluetooth 4.0 (LE) connection on iPhone/iPad

First of all, make sure that you have an OBD2 ELM327 adapter that works via Bluetooth 4.0 (LE). Pay attention to the Bluetooth version! Apple iOS devices support only Bluetooth 4.0 adapters. Older Bluetooth adapters are not supported. This limitation of the operating system Apple iOS. For more information, read article about choosing propper ELM327 adapter.

You need to insert the adapter into the diagnostic socket (also known as the OBD2 connector) and turn on the ignition or start the engine. If your adapter has a power button on the case, press it.

Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone / iPad.

Attention! Unlike Android devices, you don’t need to setup pairing with adapter in the iPhone / iPad system settings!

Step 1: Launch the Car Scanner and go to Settings (click on the gear icon in the upper right corner).

Step 2: Select “Adapter” (in old versions – “Connection”)

Step 3: Select “Connection Type”: Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)

Step 4: Click the “Select Device” button. You will be taken to the Bluetooth LE (4.0) nearby device search window.

Step 5: Wait until your adapter is detected and click on it. If the adapter is not found within 5-10 seconds, click on the “Update” button to retry the search.

Usually the adapter is called “OBDII”, “obd2” or something like that. If this is a branded adapter, then its name can be similar to its brand (for example “Viecar”, “VLink”, etc.). Please note: adapters are never called as a car brand, “MY CAR” or something similar. And, the adapter always has a name. Devices without a name, only with the address of the form {…} are not adapters.

Attention! If after several attempts your adapter is not discovered, it means that it has an outdated (<4.0) version of Bluetooth that is not compatible with Apple iOS.

Step 6. Select your adapter in the list of detected devices and wait for the compatibility check with Car Scanner.

That’s all, connection setup is complete. Now you need to click on the big green “Connect” button on Car Scanner main screen.
