PID/Data Monitor and Record

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PID/Data Monitor and Record option allows the diagnostic tool operator to read the state of several parameter IDs (PIDs) to aid in diagnosing the system. PIDs are real time measurements of parameters, such as voltages and resistances, calculated by the restraints control module (RCM) and sent to the diagnostic tool for display. Many of the PIDs supported by the RCM are calculated periodically and are, therefore, not true real time readings.

To retrieve PIDs, follow these steps:

  1. Connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
  3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the diagnostic tool being used.
  4. Record all PIDs that are to be retrieved and initiate PID retrieval. PIDs are updated continuously on the display.
