PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION (PID)
Description
The Parameter Identification (PID) mode allows access to powertrain control module (PCM) information. This includes analog and digital signal inputs and outputs along with calculated values and system status. There are two types of PID lists available and both are used. The first is the Generic OBD II PID list. This is a standard set of PIDs for all manufacturers all scan tools must be able to access. The second is a Ford specific list which can be accessed by an adequate scan tool. When accessing any of these PIDs, the values will be continuously updated. The Generic or Ford PID list provide definitions and values in appropriate units. For more information, refer to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) document.
