OBDLink MX+ and Ecodiesel

[NorthStar]

You’ll really be surprised when you go into regen as you’ll see the percent soot mass just even higher and then strip counting down as the soot is being burned off. Just keep driving until it stops counting down and the State of DPF - Normal Regen indicates it is off again. For me, I’m seeing a regen every 680 to 720 miles.

See sequential pics below.

1. Download OBDLink App.
2. Plug MX+ into OBD outlet and sync up your iPhone Bluetooth with the MX+.
3. Click on the little car icon in bottom left corner and enter ALL data for your Ecodiesel.
4. Once done, it should ask if you want to download specific data from the OBDLink site to your iPhone so it can read Ecodiesel specific PIDs…do it.
5. After this is done, go to Displays and start choosing your displays…follow the pics provided below as a step by step guide as they are sequential. Repeat for as many different gauges as you want.

NOTE: PIDs for Ecodiesels are under the “Engine Control Module (Diesel)” as seen in pic #7

Thanks! Will give it a try. Appreciate the information.

I installed the ODB LINK2 and I wanted to add the same gauges like yours but when the page selected for engine control module,(image 8 on your post) it only list gasoline engine, the ODB found the exact identification of my truck, Ram 1500 DT 3L turbo Diesel including the VIN number. I did install the latest update to the ODB link.
Any suggestions?

Did you ask get the Enhanced OEM Add-Ons? See pics below as I apologize as I failed to include that in my plethora of pics. Click on Settings icon, then choose Get Enhanced OEM Add-Ons, then choose Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, and then I picked both FCA 2020 and 2021 Enhanced Diagnostics. Let me know if that takes care of your issue.

Thank you very much for replying, I read it this morning at 4:20am I did exactly what you said and I tried it with my I phone and my I pad, same thing, no engine control module for Diesel engine, I sent a message to the OBD support yesterday and haven’t got a reply, support my a**, I finally just sat down, and enjoying a beer, busy busy day getting ready for our Canadian thanksgiving long weekend. Do you have any more suggestions? Or a better way to get support from the manufacturer? Any advise would be appreciated.

Did you edit your own vehicle in the settings to diesel? I’m not even sure why it doesn’t say diesel.

Go to Settings and then Vehicle Editor. This is how my diesel is set up and yours should be the same as there is obviously one parameter off making your app think you have a gas engine. We’ll find it:

Wow you’re fast!! I have the exact same display that you listed, still only “gas engine” under engine control module, maybe I’m getting shafted because I’m in Canada and was sent a different OBD Link MX+

Yes I did that and still no Diesel engine listed under “engine control module”

Check Settings, About, Information and ensure your software is the same:

Check under Settings, Firmware Updates…do we match?

 

[Rebelguy2020]

It says it is up to date, mine is 5.6.19 also

 

[NorthStar]

It says it is up to date but the numbers are not the same as what you displayed mine is 5.6.19

5.6.19 on the Application Information screen above? Where mine says 5.20.1.1128 but yours says 5.6.19?

I sent another help request online, not from the APP, hopefully they will reply this time.

I can’t find “application information” you’re showing

Go to the App Store and download the latest version. You are running an outdated version.

That is exactly the APP I got yesterday

 

[Rebelguy2020]

Thank you very much for all your help, but I’m heading to bed, early morning tomorrow, I will be back on this forum tomorrow evening.

I’m sorry. I don’t know what else to tell you. I’m afraid you’ll need to work with OBDLink to get it resolved. I’m interested what they find to be the issue.
