However, after adding our custom Mode 22 extended PID's, you'll get things like : Top Dead Center Offset (TDCO), Desired Injection Timing, Actual Injection Timing, Commanded Fuel Rate (mm^3), Fuel Temperature, Transmission Temperature, Desired Idle RPM, Transmission Input Shaft Speed (ISS) RPM, Output Shaft Speed (OSS) RPM, and others.ĭisclaimer: Please use common sense when operating this app and pay attention to the road when driving. With the default installation of the app, you'll be able to get the generic OBDII PID's like coolant temp, air intake temp, RPM, and MPH. At the end of the article, we also now list some other tools that are available to scan these vehicles. The end goal of this article is to get you this!

We were the first to pull the GM mode $22 enhanced PID information out of the powertrain control module (PCM) calibration and integrate it into the Torque app for Android, early 2018. However, that has now changed! Since most shops don't work on these vehicles anymore, owners are forced to DIY fix the majority of their issues and we are here to help!īefore we get into the nitty-gritty details, we should mention this particular article is focused on the 1996+ OBDII version of the 6.5L including all trucks, vans, cab chassis, cutaway, HD, and Hummer models with a #16216588 PCM.

Unfortunately, this also means electronic scan tools were frequently required to diagnose the injection system.įor years, there have been various, expensive, tools available to perform these tasks. It was the first US EFI diesel engine that was available in the light duty truck market.
In a world of electronic fuel injection (EFI), the 6.5L platform was revolutionary in the diesel sector. At Quadstar Tuning, we always use the phrase "We can't have fun with trucks that don't run properly!".
