Note on the first byte of OBD request and response:
Request: mode $01 to $0A
Response: to indicate valid response, replace the first ‘0’ in the mode with ‘4’, or, equivalently, set to $40 + mode.
Example: for mode $01, calculate $40+$01 = 64 (decimal) + 1 (decimal) = 65 (decimal) = $41

Mode $06 response format in ELM 327 (received over CAN bus):
46 [ 1-byte MID, 1-byte TID, 1-byte SID, 2-byte Measurement, 2-byte Minimum, 2-byte Maximum]
- MID – look up in SI
- TID – look up in SI
- SID – look up in J1979 DA, Appendix E (pp. 78-94, see link above)
- determine signed or unsigned
- determine scale
- determine offset
Practice questions for Module 1:
- In one episode of animated science fiction sitcom Futurama, robot Bender runs away when binary number … is shown reflected in a mirror of a haunted castle. Why is that?
- If PCM replied
41 00 BE 3F E8 13
to ELM327 command0100
, is Coolant Temperature PID available? - What is ELM327 command to show Coolant Temperature PID?
- If the actual coolant temperature is 76 deg Celsius, what do you expect PCM's reply to the previous command be?
Practice questions for Module 2:
- Interpret the following hex numbers as 16-bit signed (2's complement) integers:
- FFFFh
- 8000h
- 7FFFh
- F000h
- Which 16-bit hex number, if interpreted as 2's complement, corresponds to -10 (decimal)?
- Which 8-bit hex number, if interpreted as 2's complement, corresponds to -10 (decimal)?
- For commands discussed during the presentation, reproduce values seen on the scantool (31 Ohm for command 0641, and 0.11 inH20 for command 063d).
- For response to command 0671 (see above), determine TIDs, SIDs, Measurements, Minimums, Maximums. Are all measurements within valid ranges?
Dmitriy, Thanks for the class tonight. The only way I will retain this stuff is to practice it so here's my answers to your questions. I'll put them here for discussion and to see if I got them right. - Bender saw the number … in a mirror so the mirror image would be … Putting that number in the binary converter returns a value of 666. Sign of the devil - Yes coolant pid…
Good job, Bob, you are ready for Module 2! For question 4, what would be the full reply from the PCM? (Bob, I am sure you can answer this one, so why don't someone else gives it a try?)
Also, in your rpm example isn't the formula 256*A+B/4 or 3584+150=3734 divided by 4 = 933.5 rpm?
This is the formula: diag.net/file/f6a9w33bo… The order of calculations matters, you have to compute 256*A+B first, so in the calculator you have to punch in (256*A+B) / 4 I should have mentioned that in the presentation. Thanks for making it better! The final answer is 3734 / 4 = 933.5 rpm, correct.
This is correct! I have also received a Module 1 question about why the integer value is scaled by 4 to get rpms, and am working on a short video explaining that.

Thanks for that explanation. Keep up the good work.
I have some answers to Module 2 questions. Here goes, - (FFFFh = -1) (8000h = -32768) (7FFFh = 32767) (F000h = -4096) - FFF6 - F6 - 31 ohm = 1F .11 H2O = 6D It's going to take me a little longer for the last question. How are my answers so far? Bob
Is there any material or videos explaining this further? I have played with IDE in the past and am now trying my hand at some python i am more interested in the car side of things can bus and eeproms have me interested to say the least
