What to monitor on Edge CTS 2 and what should the values be?

Red Ford · Oct 17, 2018

I've done some researching on what I should monitor and the list I have so far is coolant temp, oil temp, trans temp, exhaust temp, battery voltage, and "FRP Kpsi". Is there anything else I should monitor? I have the Edge Insight CTS 2 and I usually keep it on the screen with 9 PIDS.

What is FRP Kpsi? What EGT sensor should I monitor? What should the ranges of all this be? I'm used to my 6.0 so I got a little scared when I seen my TFT at 192 as I'm used to it being at 150ish but it looks like that is normal. Anyway, I like to have a print out of the values in the truck so I can glance to see if everything is where it should be.

And yes, I did Google this and that's how I got the list of things to look at but wasn't sure if I should grave dig an old thread to get the values or start a new one.

These are what I monitor in the photo. The egt temps normally are below 600* unless towing and then they rise to mid 700's. During regen they got to mid 1000*-1200*.

What is FRP Kpsi?

Fuel Rail Pressure in 1,000 PSI increments if I recall correctly. At idle you should see 4.XX Kpsi, then once driving it will be what is required for that speed/driving condition. The max value you should be seeing is 29.XX Kpsi.

Coolant temp (ECT) ranges as the system operates from 180-200*F+ , oil temp (EOT) is normal in the 200*F+ range once warmed up, trans temp (TFT) is normal in the 200*F+ area as well, exhaust temp (EGT) from idle to max effort will range from 250*-1200*F, battery voltage you should see 12V+ a with the Key On, then once Engine is running it's 14V+.

The operating values of ECT, EOT, TFT, and EGT will vary based upon what you are doing with the truck. (Towing, unloaded city driving, running up-hill, etc etc etc)

These are the PIDs that I monitor, shown during a regen cycle.

btw, I love my CTS2 Clean Mount. A member here put a lot of work into designing it.

Thanks guys! will all EGT sensors be at roughly the same temp, or do they differ?

My truck will 99% of the time be just a grocery getter until I get a little car.
