Automatic OBD II and Kizashi Scan Codes
OK, RonZuki brought up in another thread that transmission temp is available using the Suzuki scan tool. So there must be a ID code for it. I've got an Automatic Bluetooth OBD II device and an app called Gears on my iPhone. Gears somehow allows you to add monitors if you know the codes. Does anyone know where I might be able to find these codes? I don't like the coolant gauge reading 0 all the time! If I can customize it for coolant, oil and transmission oil temps, that would really make it useful. I only get so much joy out of some of the ratios that it has to display. Right now I'm tired of the beeps telling me I'm braking or accelerating too hard!
That may be one of those Suzuki specific "extended" codes that only their scan tool can access. These new(er) zuks are quirky about all their electronics and how they interact with the various scan tools out there. Just ask anyone whose tried to deal with their TPMS system. It would be nice to have access to all that info. My 2014 Wrangler's HUD has access to all those type of registers. I can keep an eye on my trans temp while I'm towing which I really like.

I've also occasionally entertained the idea of picking up one of the Toyota / Suzuki service tool clones off of ebay to find out what's what, but I have not yet been able to convince myself to pay several hundred dollars for a clone. You can also find the Windows CE software image for the clone devices out there on the Internet. It is possible that a bit of reverse engineering of the software may provide the necessary information about the extended PID space.
If I get some free time I'll try to dig into it a bit.
