Cambo, great post. I was searching the net looking for info, and came across this post. Tried it for my Jag, but unfortunately no go ( YET!). I have a '97 XK8 ( X100, AJ126 engine). Using a Scantool MX OBDII adapter with Torque. I can get Torque to connect and provide some data, have been able to upload your additional PID's from above, and can create dash's with the new gauges. Unfortunately, cannot get any data. Tried using your Configuration under the Very Advanced setting of the vehicle profile (atsp6\natsh7e0 ), but with that set cannot connect to the ECM (Torque errors out). Do I need this configuration, or something like it?

Not sure if the Advanced setting is correct for the earlier year Jag, or if I'm just doing something dumb. Any help you can provide would be great. Trying primarily to get Gearbox temp to help with fluid change plus ongoing monitoring of the trans temps. Tried both 221e69 and 221e71 for the trans temp( with Header 7e1), but no joy.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

amd how would you check volts on the car? 2012 xf portfolio?
or did you mean on torque pro?

Your OBD2 adapter can report the +12v level at the OBD2 socket. This will be ~12V when the ignition is off and ~14.5V when the engine's running and the alternator is working correctly. This is probably a decent equivalent to a battery gauge in an old car (I've not seen a car with a battery gauge for years!). I'm not sure what else you want to get from the car about your battery?

Attached PDF file outlines the process for adding the custom PIDs to Torque Pro, you will need to download a .csv file, there is a link in the document to download the file.

This information/instruction is provided for free! Hope some people might find it helpful.
Cambo, just saw this and loaded into my TorquePRO with no issue, thanks very much for putting this together. Very cool for sure.

Don't know that anyone answered this, but CSV (comma separated values) file type is commonly used in the the IT/Database world to import/export data. It is not a formatted Excel file but a universal simple file type that strips all unnecessary format data (fonts/formulas) out of a file and saves it as a "common denominator" text with comma delimiters that can be used by any application. If you look at the File/Save As options in Excel you will see CSV as an option, same for any database type program like Access or Sequel, list goes on. Being in the technology and data world I have been using this for 25 years in dealing with client data migration and CSV file types make life incredibly easy for moving data in a simple format from one application to another. I haven't seen a program yet that can't import or export a CSV file! No surprise that Torque uses it also.

I like that a lot!
I am still running TP on my old Android tablet when I need it.

It's a shame that Jaguar did not give us a set of digital gauges as it was certainly doable!
We should have got a code reader built into the car too as that is also possible.

Yes, it would have been so easy for them to build that in to the dash!

Anyway, don't know if this is any use to anyone but if you have an OBDLink product, and you tell the app you have a 2011 Ford Mondeo it will talk to the other modules in a Jag of the era and pull back and clear non-engine related codes. I used it this morning to clear an adaptive cruise control fault on my 2011 XFR.

Hi Cambo,

This is a great thread and very useful info!

I attempted to set this up with Torque Pro and my 2001 XJR, however it doesn't receive any data from the additional PIDs (but they do appear on the sensor list).

Is there some way to find out what the PIDs would be for my vehicle? In particular the transmission oil temperature.

Hi Everyone. I have a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace S (3.0L Supercharged V6 AJ126).

As far as the intake air temp 2 does anyone know which physical sensor in the engine this is pulling from? I believe it pulls from the manifold absolute pressure and temperature (MAPT) sensor (how it's labeled in the workshop manual). This is the one on the back (closest to the firewall) of the engine right near the intake manifold so I believe that it's measuring the temperature "post intercooler" (outlet of the charge air cooler) right before it goes into the intake manifold. I'm just not 100% sure.

There is also a charge air temperature sensor and that's the one that's easily accessible on top of the engine right under the plastic engine cover. I believe that sensor is "pre intercooler" and is measuring the temperature of the compressed air output as soon as it exits the supercharger but before it's cooled down by the charge air coolers. Can anyone confirm that? Also, does anyone have all the necessary info, like what is in Cambo's spreadsheet, to add this sensor to the torque app? Also would like to know if this one requires the -40C offset or not.

Images of sensor locations and descriptions below for reference.

Thanks!

I don't know but the -40 is very likely.

Not sure but I usually see IAT1 and IAT2 when looking at the sensors. I have been told to use the IAT2 as it's like you say. Post IC before the intake charge goes into the cylinders. This is the one to look at when worried about heat soak or if your improved IC and water pump are helping anything.

Awesome topic, thanks!

Tried using these on an x750 S, but two of them are giving me pause:
-oil temp: I’m using OBD Fusion which has a stock PID for oil temp, and isn’t showing the same value: with the engine off, Fusion was showing 61C and the custom PID 53C. After I turned it on, fusion went down to 59 and the custom PID went up past 60. Could there be two different sensors ?

-boost: same situation, with the engine off, Fusion’s stock display showed .9 bar (which makes sense since I’m measuring at around 1000m altitude). The custom PID given here showed 46 KPa. Don’t know if this is relative or absolute, but in either case weird value given the engine was off and should not be creating boost or vacuum ?
