GrandpaGreg Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hello, I have a 2013 Edge 'Limited' with the 3.5 V6. I does not have the OEM Towing Package however I have added a Class III trailer hitch to tow my brand new enclosed motorcycle trailer. The combined weight of trailer and motorcycle is approx 1900 lbs.......within the recommended Trailer Towing limit for this vehicle. Nonetheless, I would like to be able to monitor the transmission fluid temperature. Can anyone advise of a good Transmission Temperature Gauge? Many thanks, in advance for any suggestions you may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samirmta Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am getting the transmission oil temperature of ODB bluetooth adaptor on my mobile phone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camshaft Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am curious what app/phone you are using? Everyone can get a bluetooth OBD connector. It is all about how you use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windaddiction Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I use an app called "torque" with my adnroid phone, and a cheap Bluetooth adapter. It works great for everything except tranny temps. I get them but it bounces quite a bit. I can still get useful info. I tow a 2800# travel trailer, and on a hot day (28C 84 F) driving at 110 km/hr in 5th gear 2200 RPM I was running 94 C (200 F) coolant and anywhere from 90- 95C ( 195-204 F) tranny temp. I am towing fairly flat ground as well. For my own comfort 220 F/ 105 C is my upper limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Trans temps really shouldn't go over 200F if you expect the fluid & mechanicals to last. The hotter the fluid gets, the less of a life it has. If you have not changed out the trans fluid already, I'd highly recommend doing so now.

NoDTMF Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Bumping an old thread. I have 2017 Edge sport (AWD) and using Forscan and OBDII MX Wifi app to monitor tranny temp. I am using the PID 1E1C. Driving up mountain roads I am seeing temps of 210, which seems high. curious if anyone else has figures to report. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind providing more details for how you are using that PID Code in OBD App, Including: Mudule/Header OBD Mode Equation Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I use the Android version of Forscan Lite. The transmission fluid temperature is in the PCM module. PCM.TFT (there 18 separate points to monitor under "transmission"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDTMF Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I use Forscan, OBDIILink and HP tuner. and all three give the same value. The info requested: Module: ECM OBD Mode: 22 PID: 1E1C Equation (((Sign(A)*256)+B*(9/8)+320)/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
