Could I use this on my diesel '04 F350 to monitor/check FICM voltage?

Question would be what program you will be running to collect the pid info. The program should tell you the specs for the obd2 device. I will say I found a lot of Ford pids in Engine Link. And Engine link feeds Torque, an app that has potential. Torque however is an android application. It works via bluetooth. In any case check your program for ELM 27 requirements, if that is the required communication protocol this will feed the data to an Apple application.

I have not tried the Kiwi with any diesel engine, but I did a quick search and it sounds as if the Torque app (Pro) is the way to go for your setup (and seems to be recommended a lot). However, it is only available on Android, and I think that is only compatible with the Kiwi Bluetooth. Here is a page with info on the Torque app, which can pull in FICM info: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1168631-android-torque-app.html. Here's an extended forum post (good PID list too) about the success with the Android Kiwi: http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f21/app-torque-6-0l-424193/. If you are committed to iOS and need Kiwi Wifi, here is an older post about an iPhone app called Engine Link, which is compatible with the Kiwi WIFI: http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/general-diesel-discussion/686201-engine-link-app.html. I hope this helps.

What would u like to know. I have purchased this unit to conduct leakage test of dc current in the auto motive field

If you have a DVM or voltmeter you can run a continuity check on the driver, if it's an open circuit then the response from Christopher J. is, indeed, the correct one.

Yes, take out your ficm module, open the casing and compare to the power supply picture to yours. Easy fix.

It monitors Open Ground (GF) and Polarity Fault (PF) along with voltage and frequency. You might want to go to their site: http://trci.net/products/surge-guard-rv/digital-monitor and look under Operating Instructions to make sure it will do what you want it to. We use this in one of the outlets in our motor home to monitor Voltage and Frequency along with open ground and polarity fault when we hook up at a camp ground and it works great. Hope this helps you out.

Hi, Yes, you can use the meter power it and monitor it when connected to the same source. You can also have it be powered by another unit to measure something else. The input voltage ranges from 4.5 to 30 volts. Just make sure to not wire the unit backwards as there is no reverse voltage protection. Note that the brown (or black in some models) wire is the main (common) negative wire and the red wire is the positive power wire. The other color yellow (or white in some models) is the positive voltage measuring wire. For example, you would power the volt meter by connecting it to the brown wire to the negative terminal of the voltage supply and the red to the positive terminal of the voltage supply. You then would connect the yellow white to the positive terminal of whatever you are measuring to it and the brown wire to the negative part (you'll need to solder another to it to make a "Y" connection lead). Last remark, the little screw on the back of the unit allows you to calibrate the unit, you might want to compare and make changes to the unit with another volt meter you already know that is accurate as mine was off by 0.2 volts. I hope this helps!

I've used it on an LLY Duramax, and it worked great. It cannot read abs computers or airbag systems. It only relays basic data from the ecu through OBD II. With the software that comes with it or third party software you can read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) reset check engine lights and read real time sensor data. Like oxygen sensor voltage, baro/map sensor pressure, and fuel rail pressure exe all from your smartphone or laptop via bluetooth. You can also view emissions readiness monitors and each systems current condition either "not ready","ready","pass", or "fail".

I'm almost certain that all you require is a minimum of 48v. Also pretty sure the topend voltage is not an issue. But if in doubt have a look @ youtube for "dieseltechron" he I pretty much a ford psd guru.

I would say yes Pop out the Simms and check the voltage and chip configuration. That's what I did.

If this is a new install, then I'd check that the input voltage setting matches the power being supplied to the motor.

Yes you can.... I don't remember if the software shows the voltages of 02 sensors but I shows if they are working or not.

Google "Very Cheap TED 1001 House Power Monitors (and possible hacking)". You can run a perl or pyhon script to get the data on linux if your computer savy.

Sorry, I'm not qualified to answer that. If it puts out 110/120 volts I don't see why not. Call up the mfr. or distr.

Yes, this is a voltmeter, so it will read whatever the voltage is at the time, it doesn't have any memory capability.

If you want to use it as a programmer, you can. I don't know if it is reccommended. Otherwise i just keep it plugged into the OBD-2 port all the time. It stays just fine. Also you the guage functions don't work if it isn't plugged in.

Ckeck if it is correct power and Voltage. May be the BMW computer is checking the load current and found out of range due to diferente rating.

Hello, J. Waldvogel! Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem. Thanks in advance! Lee
