Here is information on some of the CAN IDs that you're most likely to use with RaceChrono and equations to get the right scale, etc.
Please note there is still much work in progress, any contributions are welcome.
CAN ID 0x081
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x081 contain data related to steering angle. This CAN ID is available only in
cars with DSC module, so all cars from 2007 onwards.
Only 4 bytes long.
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | unidentified |
| 1 | on/off (EF/6F or 11101111/01101111) |
| 2 & 3 | signed values for the steering angle |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steering angle | bytesToInt(raw, 2, 2) |
positive values are from centered position (0) to right, negative otherwise |
CAN ID 0x085
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x085 contain data related to braking. This CAN ID is available only in
cars with DSC module, so all cars from 2007 onwards.
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 & 1 | together with byte 1 represent the pressure of the braking system |
| 2 | brake siwtch ON/OFF, information contained in bit 0 (MSB, from left) |
| 3 | Not changing |
| 4 | Not changing |
| 5 | Not changing |
| 6 | Not changing |
| 7 | Not changing |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brake pressure | (3.4518689053*bytesToInt(raw, 0, 2)-327.27)/1000.00 |
multipliers are obtained from data from Leisurehound user on miata.net, may be wrong. Unit is kPa |
| Brake percentage | min(0.2*(bytesToInt(raw, 0, 2)-102),100) |
this is an alternative to get brake percentage. When not pressed the value is 102, after braking and releasing it goes briefly down to 99 so you may see slightly negative percentage. |
| Digital | bitsToUint(raw,17,1)/2 |
0-1 value |
CAN ID 0x090
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x090 WIP. Probably related to accelerations. This CAN ID is available only in
cars with DSC module, so all cars from 2007 onwards.
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | WIP |
| 1 | WIP |
| 2 | WIP |
| 3 | WIP |
| 4 | WIP |
| 5 | WIP |
| 6 | WIP |
| 7 | WIP |

CAN ID 0x200
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x200 WIP. Probably related to torque. Byte 7 contain
Throttle Valve Position
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | WIP |
| 1 | WIP |
| 2 | WIP |
| 3 | WIP |
| 4 | WIP |
| 5 | WIP |
| 6 | WIP |
| 7 | Throttle Valve Position (%) |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Throttle Position | bytestouint(raw,7,1)*100/255.00 |
Scale may need adjustment, doesn't take into account the offset for idle. Same value available in CAN ID 0x215 byte 6 |
CAN ID 0x201
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x201 This CAN ID is related to engine speed, vehicle speed
and accelerator position.
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | With byte 1 represent engine speed |
| 1 | With byte 0 represent engine speed |
| 2 & 3 | WIP: follows RPM |
| 4 & 5 | represent vehicle speed |
| 6 | Accelerator pedal position (%) |
| 7 | Always FF |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Engine RPM | bytestouint(raw,0,2)/4.00 |
|
| Speed | ((bytestoint(raw,4,2)/100.00)-100)/3.6 |
Raw speed data is given in km/h with a 100 km/h offset. The "3.6" at the end of the equation is needed to switch to m/s that is the unit used internally for calculation by RaceChrono. In the calculation RaceChrono will then multiply automatically for the correct value to transform the m/s to your choice of units (i.e. km/h or mph). |
| Accelerator Position | bytestoint(raw,6,1)*2.00 |
This is a percentage, increments of 0.5% |
CAN ID 0x215
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x215 WIP. Mostly related to fault codes but
byte 6 contain Throttle Valve Position
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | WIP |
| 1 | WIP |
| 2 | WIP |
| 3 | WIP |
| 4 | WIP |
| 5 | WIP |
| 6 | Throttle Valve Position (%) |
| 7 | WIP |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Throttle Position | bytestouint(raw,6,1)*100/255.00 |
Scale may need adjustment, doesn't take into account the offset for idle. Same value available in CAN ID 0x200 byte 7 |
CAN ID 0x231
Update frequency: 40 times per second.
0x231 Is related to transmission, probably has
more significative data for AT cars. On MT cars
only interesting bit is the clutch switch
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Always FF (on MT) |
| 1 | bit 7 (MSB, counting from left) clutch switch; bit 6 (MSB) may be related to neutral/in gear? |
| 2 | Always FF (on MT) |
| 3 | Always FF (on MT) |
| 4 | Always 00 (on MT) |
| 5 | Always 00 (on MT) |
| 6 | Always 00 (on MT) |
| 7 | Always 00 (on MT) |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Digital | (bitstouint(raw,15,1)-4)/2 |
0 - 1 value |
CAN ID 0x240
Update frequency: 10 times per second.
0x240 Contains engine related data such as
cooling water temperature, air intake temperature
spark angle, calculated load, throttle valve position
only interesting bit is the clutch switch
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Calculated Load (%) |
| 1 | Engine Coolant Temperature (°C) |
| 2 | WIP: seems related to ignition timing (deg) |
| 3 | Throttle Valve Position (%) |
| 4 | Intake Air Temperature (°C) |
| 5 | Always 00 |
| 6 | Always 00 |
| 7 | Always 00 (faults?) |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage | 100*(bytestouint(raw,0,1)/255.00 |
can't find Engine Load on RaceChrono list of channels |
| Coolant temperature | bytestouint(raw,1,1)-40 |
RaceChrono does calculation in °C then converts to your unit of choice. Same data availble in byte 0 of ID 420 |
| Throttle position | 100*bytestouint(raw,1,1)/255 |
Scale may need adjustment. This ID should refer to absolute opening value, i.e. taking into account the opening at idle. Still, the value at idle for my measurements seems too high (11%...) |
| Ignition advance | ||
| Intake temperature | bytestouint(raw,4,1)-40 |
RaceChrono does calculation in °C then converts to your unit of choice |
CAN ID 0x4b0
Update frequency: 100 times per second.
0x4b0 is dedicated only to wheel speed representation
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 & 1 | Front Left Wheel Speed |
| 2 & 3 | Front Right Wheel Speed |
| 4 & 5 | Rear Left Wheel Speed |
| 6 & 7 | Rear Right Wheel Speed |
| Channel name | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Speed Front Left | ((bytestoint(raw,0,2)/100.00)-100)/3.6 |
Raw speed data is given in km/h with a 100 km/h offset. The "3.6" at the end of the equation is needed to switch to m/s that is the unit used internally for calculation by RaceChrono. In the calculation RaceChrono will then multiply automatically for the correct value to transform the m/s to your choice of units (i.e. km/h or mph). |
| Vehicle Speed Front Right | ((bytestoint(raw,2,2)/100.00)-100)/3.6 |
|
| Vehicle Speed Rear Left | ((bytestoint(raw,4,2)/100.00)-100)/3.6 |
|
| Vehicle Speed Rear Right | ((bytestoint(raw,6,2)/100.00)-100)/3.6 |
