Hi guys, this post is meant to be complementary to the one @SarcasticOne did here: Cobb Access Port FAQ
Anyway, I just got my COBB Accessport V3 today and installed it. When i was looking at all the gauges that are available i must admit i didn't understand what they all meant. I have looked over this site (and the COBB one) but cant seem to find the answers to what all these gauges mean, and what their normal readings should be.
Because i am sure that others have the same questions / or know the answers, ill try and put together a thread that can cover everything.
These are the supported monitors (gauges) for the MPS 6:
Monitor (Gauge) name Monitor Definition Recommended Min Recommended Max
Monitor Name---------------------Monitor Definition--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Min----------------Max
Abs. Pressure----------------------?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Accel. Pedal Pos.------------------?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Actual AFR------------------------This is the Air/Fuel ratio within the cylinders of the engine------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Baro. Pressure---------------------The Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor reads the air density entering the combustion chamber-------------------------------------?--------------------?
Battery Voltage--------------------This is the current Batteries voltage--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Boost------------------------------This is the current PSI of your turbo-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Boost Air Temp.-------------------This is the air temperature of the air entering the Turbo--------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Coolant Temp.--------------------This is the temperature of your radiator coolant----------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Equiv. Ratio-----------------------?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Fan Duty--------------------------?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Fuel Inj. Amt. [mg/cyl]-------------?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
HPFP Act. Press.------------------This is the kPA or PSI (kilopascal or Pounds per square inch) Of your fuel pump-----------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
HPFP Sens. Voltage----------------?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Inj. Duty Cycle--------------------?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Inj. Pulse Width-------------------?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Intake Temp.---------------------This is the air temperature of the air intake (SRI or CAI)---------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Intake Valve Adv.-----------------?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Knock Retard---------------------This is the KR value that your ecu is enforcing on your engine due to potential detonation being detected----------------------------?--------------------?
Long Term FT---------------------This is the long term fuel trim readings--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
MAF Voltage----------------------This is the Mass Air Flow sensor voltage------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
MAP Voltage----------------------?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Mass Airflow----------------------?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
RPM------------------------------This is your Rev's per minute reading---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Short Term FT--------------------This is the short term fuel trim---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Spark Adv.------------------------This is your spark plug advance timing-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Throttle Duty Cyc.----------------?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Throttle Duty Desired-------------?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Throttle Position------------------?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Vehicle Speed--------------------This is your current speed--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
Wastegate Duty-------------------?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?--------------------?
I have attempted to fill in the definitions where i believe i know the answer, but i have no idea what the ideal readings should be. Can anyone help fill in the gaps?
Also, here is a screenshot i took when i was driving around this morning. No idea if these readings are good / bad (apart from the KR, which is good). Note everything is stock on the car apart from a CS SRI + TIP, and HPFP is in kPA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
