    So, i have searched the interwebs, and cannot find the PID to make Torque read oil temp/pressure from my OBD2 scanner.

    Does the '08 tacoma (4.0L Prerunner) ECU measure these at all?

    I did find the custom PIDs on TW to make it show Transmission Temps (which torque couldnt read out of the box).

    Just wondering if anyone knows of this is possible on the 2nd gen 08 Coma's.

    Thanks!

    Can you share how you got the Torque app to read the trans temp? Im new to this.

    I think the '12's and up use a dfferent PID?

    follow the link below, post #175 on page 9 worked. (only works for 05 through 09, for later models, youll have to read more, and to my knowledge, it wont work for manual trans, only auto).
    Just make sure to use the ° degree symbol instead of the * ONLY in "Unit Type". The asterisks in "Equation" field should be left as asterisks.

    Thanks, got it to work. Interesting thing is my truck reads in °C and when I set Torque app to °F it will read on the display in °C. If I switch the app to °C then it shows in °F.

    Now I'm interest in what other custom PIDs are available?

    Is yours able to read oil temperature and oil pressure?
    Those are the two I am looking for.

    Nope but there must be a custom PID for it.

    Yes, though like em Bone Stock more.
    I have a 2001 Celica and am also looking for the Engine Oil Pressure Paremeters PIDs as well... or anything "Toyota" as pertaining to TorquePro / ELM327 My trucks are GMC's lol. Tacomas are nice and popular and useful for my little car perhaps for infosharing.

    ELM327 + Toyota Share the goody PIDs!!!

    I believe the sending unit for the oil is just a switch, either on or off for the ECM to trigger the dash light.

    There is no sensor on the truck for oil temp or oil pressure range. There is simply one oil pressure switch that turns on the dummy light / signals to the ECU that something is wrong. Hence why you wont be able to pull any actual oil pressure or oil temp data from the ECU.
