I have a C125 I'm attempting to set it up to display various parameters from my factory ECU and I am struggling to understand Dash Manager. I also purchased Display Creator should it be necessary.

I've included a PID for my vehicle below.

name: PIDs - Oil Temperature (705C)

name: PIDs - 705C

format: UBYTE

operations:
coefficient: 40.0
operation: SUBTRACT

coefficient: 1.0
operation: DIVIDE

unit: CELSIUS

How would I set this up in Dash Manager? I have jumper cable to get CAN messages from the steering angle sensor and I also have the ODBII connector. So I can do either, but from my basic understanding ODBII connector is needed since I'm using PIDs.

What is the vehicle make/model you are working with?

Is that a non standard OBD2 Service Mode 21 or Mode 22 PID (Paramater ID)? if so, the format is unique to each OEM and I'm not sure it's documented enough to easily figure out the request/response.

Is there any chance this info might be broadcast on some CAN bus -- if you can figure that out, it usually much easier to deal with.

You can learn about OBD2 standard PIDs from this webpage:
