2007 Transmission Temp Monitor Help

I need some help setting up my Torque app to read my 2007 DCLB sport’s transmission temp.

I’ve searched the forum and found some PIDs but have not been successful finding one for my 2007 Tacoma. I’m sure its somewhere but I have not yet found a good answer.

I have an android stereo and the Torque app installed with a OBD2 Bluetooth reader. Has anyone posted a video or screenshot/process for setting up the app to read and display transmission temps?

Is there a newer better app I could purchase that I don’t have to mess with custom PIDs?

I plan to tow a camper which is much heavier than the one I usually pull across the country, and would like a way to keep an eye on the transmission temp.

Thanks for any help,

 

Settings > Manage Extra PIDs/Sensors > Add Custom PID

PID: 21D9
Long & Short Name: Trans Temp
Min Value: 0
Max Value: 400
Unit: °F
Equation: ((((E*256)+F)*(7/100)-400)/10)

PID: 21D9
Long & Short Name: Trans Pan Temp
Min Value: 0
Max Value: 400
Unit: °F
Equation: ((((G*256)+H)*(7/100)-400)/10)


Have you tried these two yet? Mine usually returns a Value in the 170's range. Both numbers are usually pretty much the same too. My truck is a 2008 which I'd imagine would be similar. If you're still unsure how to set it up I'll figure out how to post a screenshot.

Disclaimer: this is not my code. I borrowed it from somewhere else but no clue where I found it.

For reference, I've towed some ~5,000 lb loads and it's never really gone much above 210 degrees so long as I keep it from hunting for gears.

 

This is what I posted back in 2018 and it works fine in my 07 on my Torque app.

A thanks for the help. I tried both suggestions and I get an invalid entry code. I tried both formulas with the same result.

 

Hmm as far as I know that's the code for 2005-2010 ish vehicles. Can you post a screenshot for us?

Edit: I've seen a plug in for Torque Pro called "Advanced EX for Toyota". It's about $6 but may be worth a shot. It doesn't specify that it works for our vehicles, but maybe that will point you towards some more info.

 

Have you tried it directly on your phone and not your android radio? I'm still running with the stock 6 disc brick in my truck, so not sure how the android radio comes into play... mirror image?

 

Sure. Should I screen shot the PID screen? I'll try it on my phone as well.

 

Just curious if you're trying to enter the PID from your radio or phone.

 

I was finally able to get the radio and my phone to create the PID. The issue I am having now is that the temp is off the charts. It’s reading 56448 degrees........

It’s one step closer....

The issue was I needed to put spaces between the Asterisk I the formula.

 

Can you post a screenshot of the equation you have in torque pro?

 

And make sure you're using the degree symbol (that little bitty 0) and F for fahrenheit.

 

That looks right to me. Have you installed the app on your phone and tried it on your phone without using the radio?

 

I use Car Scanner app. Free and has Trans Temp already.

 

Thanks,. I'll try car scanner and see if I can get it to read the trans Temp.

 

Did you get it?
