Yeah I have an 07. Didn't catch that so thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Which temp do y'all monitor? Pan or TC?
I have to pick one cuz the others are voltage, MPG and coolant and if I pick more than 4 I can't see it anymore.

I monitor both but if had to choose one, I’d monitor pan. Maybe even drop coolant since there’s a dash gauge for that one

It works now. Thanks everyone! As for the dash gauge that thing only moves if you're about to blow the head gasket. It's mostly an idiot light with a needle

I know this is a second gen thread, but, does anyone have a PID formula that might work with a 3rd gen 2.7 4cyl?

Have you tried the second gen formula and that didn’t work?

I have tried the ones on this thread. Do you know of any others?

Will this work on the MT? I use mine for work in vary rough conditions daily. Would be nice to know if I’m pushing it to hard in some areas.

Tacorific · May 15, 2019

I'm pretty sure that the MT doesn't have Temp sensors. You may be able to purchase an aftermarket gage/sensor and mount it to your trans.

This worked for my automatic 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 four-door. Basically, you create a new user PID with the magic formula and then make a new gauge that displays that information on a dashboard.

You create a new PID by following the steps below.

Settings
User-Defined PIDs
Menu
New

Enter the following into these fields:
Name = Transmission Fluid Temperature 1
Description = Trans 1
English units = F
Min value = 0
Max value = 300
Metric to English scale factor = 1
Module/Header = ECM
OBD Mode = 21
PID Number = 82
Equation = ((((A*256)+B)*(7/100)-400)/10)

{Type equation exactly as shown with no spaces, watch the parentheses carefully and don't miss any. Leave other fields as they are, no change. This is the Fahrenheit formula, different for Celsius. You can also apply this correction in the offset, but the way above is perhaps easier}

Then click "Test" at bottom of page and you should get a popup that states "reading data and then quickly give you an actual temp. This is the transmission "pan" temperature ("1"), the one we need to help change our fluid by checking the level when it reaches a certain temp. There is another sensor ("2") that is a different formula. If clicking the "Test" button yields a popup that says no data or error, something isn't entered correctly.

Now, we create a new gauge on a new dashboard to display the temp.

Go back to the main menu by clicking the upper left corner and go into Dashboards. Swipe all the way to the right (past the boost page) and it should give you a new empty dashboard page or you can click menu and select "new dashboard". (You could also change one of the existing gauges). On the new empty dashboard page, click "menu" and then "add display". Then click "display configuration". For "title", call it what you want to appear on the gauge like tranny temp or ATF temp or anything you want. For "Item", click that right arrow and scroll all the way down to the user-defined PIDs and find "Trans1" at the bottom and click that bar until a blue check mark appears beside it. Then you can change the other features and digital vs radial etc. I think the "item" first pops up with mph speed or some default like that, but just click it and a long menu pops up with the user-defined PIDs at the bottom.

For me, at first, I could get the temp on the "test" button in the user PID page, but the gauge read zero all the time. Customer support (Matt) for the app was very helpful by e-mail. Ultimately, I had to close the app (by clicking the home button and closing the app on my iPad) and re-open it and then it worked miraculously.

The mode 21 is the extended codes for Toyota. The 82 is the specific PID for ATF temp.

Anyway, you CAN get ATF transmission temps to read constantly on the Fusion app on iphones and ipad without buying a droid for Torque!

Happy Trails!

I’ve been trying this on my ‘19 3rd gen 3.5L Taco and showing “no data” every time. Anyone have any advice?

What a great thread. I've had OBD Fusion for a couple of years, not being a technician I was kinda like it's cool but not a lot of use to me. Being able to add the A/T temp is great, plus I figured out how to add other displays I didn't know I had.

Thanks to all who contribute here!

Not sure if this will help here, but I found a fairly obscure site that listed this equation for the Torque App that worked to measure the Converter temp on my 3rd gen 2.6L 4cyl Automatic. Maybe someone will be able to format this to work with your Fusion App.

Name: Transmission Temp (Converter)
Shortname: Converter Temp
Mode and PID: 2182
Equation: ((((C * 256) + D ) * (7/100)-400)/10)
Min Value: -40
Max Value: 325
Units: F

That looks almost the same- only diff jumping out at me is in the formula, the A and B are replaced by C and D. Interesting...

Outstanding, entered this PID this morning on my OBD Fusion app and worked perfectly. Now I can service my tranny with an accurate fluid check. Many thanks!

Is it worth buying the “Toyota Enhanced Diagnostics” for $9.99?

I too have thought about the enhanced diagnostics, wondering what that includes.

DO YOU KNOW IF THIS SAME PROCESS WORK WITH A 2017 V6 TACOMA?

I know this post is old, but I bought the "toyota enhanced diagnostics" and it has what I believe are trans and converter temps. Can anyone else confirm that's what these are (I renamed them on the shown graphs, when purchased they were marked as trans temp 1 & 2. ) as I'm going to do a drain/refill soon and would prefer to just use this to read temps.

The 2 temps are for converter and pan. For a D & F , you want pan temp.

Correct, I just wanted to confirm I had them marked correctly. So I have them backwards? #1 is the converter?

Will this work on a 2022???
