Parameter Identification (PID): Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Milan, and 2006 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The parameter identification (PID) mode allows access to PCM information. This includes analog and digital signal inputs and outputs along with calculated values and the system status. There are 2 types of PID lists available. The first is the generic (J1979) OBD PID list. This is a standard set of PIDs that all diagnostic tools must be able to access. The second is a Ford-specific (J2190) list which can be accessed by an appropriate diagnostic tool. When accessing any of these PIDs, the values will be continuously updated. The generic or Ford PID list provides definitions and values in appropriate units. For more information, refer to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) document J2205.
