Signals
A semantic signal is the meaning of a measurement — battery SOC, engine RPM — independent of which PID number a given car uses.
-
Charge energy
hybridcharge_energy · Wh · charging
Energy delivered during a charge session (e.g. last AC charge in Wh). Useful to verify wallbox vs car reporting.
-
HV battery block resistance
hybridhv_block_resistance · mOhm · hybrid_hv
Per-block internal resistance inside the HV pack. Used in Toyota-style battery health checks — higher values can indicate aging cells.
-
HV battery block voltage
hybridhv_block_voltage · mV · hybrid_hv
Per-block / per-module voltage inside the pack (Toyota-style).
-
HV battery state of charge
hybridhv_battery_soc · % · hybrid_hv
Traction battery SOC. May be standard PID 5B, a UDS DID, or a manufacturer Mode 01 request. Never merge by hex number alone.
-
HV discharge request
hybridhv_discharge_request · daW · hybrid_hv
Hybrid controller request to discharge the HV pack — part of SOC and power management.
-
HV pack current
hybridhv_battery_current · A · hybrid_hv
Pack current (sign convention varies: charge vs discharge).
-
HV pack inlet air temperature
hybridhv_pack_inlet_temp · °C · hybrid_hv
Temperature of cooling air entering the hybrid battery pack. Helps explain SOC-dependent cooling behaviour.
-
HV pack temperature
hybridhv_battery_temp · °C · hybrid_hv
Pack or module temperature. Not ICE coolant.
-
HV pack voltage
hybridhv_battery_voltage · V · hybrid_hv
High-voltage pack voltage. Manufacturer-specific on most HEV/PHEV.
-
HV WIN/WOUT power limit
hybridhv_power_limit · hW · hybrid_hv
Maximum charge (WIN) or discharge (WOUT) power allowed for the HV battery on Toyota-style systems.
-
MG inverter temperature
hybridmg_inverter_temp · °C · hybrid_hv
Temperature of the motor-generator inverter (power electronics). Distinct from MG winding temp and engine coolant.
-
MG phase current
hybridmg_phase_current · A · hybrid_hv
Phase current on the motor-generator (not HV pack current). Used for detailed hybrid power analysis.
-
Motor-generator speed
hybridmg_rpm · rpm · hybrid_hv
Speed of the electric motor-generator (MG1/MG2). Not the same as Engine RPM: in EV mode MG can spin while ICE RPM is zero. Sign may indicate direction.
-
Motor-generator temperature
hybridmg_temperature · °C · hybrid_hv
Winding or module temperature of MG1/MG2. High values under load may indicate cooling stress.
-
Motor-generator torque
hybridmg_torque · Nm · hybrid_hv
Torque from MG1/MG2. Positive/negative sign and scale vary by manufacturer — compare with MG RPM and HV current.
-
On-board charger current
hybridcharger_current · A · charging
PHEV charge current.
-
On-board charger power
hybridcharger_power · W · charging
Electrical power of the PHEV on-board charger during AC or DC charging.
-
On-board charger voltage
hybridcharger_voltage · V · charging
PHEV on-board charger AC or DC voltage. Not pack voltage.
-
Output shaft speed
hybridoutput_shaft_speed · rpm · hybrid_hv
Hybrid transaxle output shaft speed. Compare with vehicle speed to understand gear ratio and EV/ICE blend.
-
Power electronics cooling temperature
hybridpower_electronics_temp · °C · hybrid_hv
Coolant or module temperature near hybrid inverters/OBC. Not the HV pack or ICE coolant sensor.
-
Regen brake torque
hybridregen_brake_torque · Nm · hybrid_hv
Regenerative braking torque — how much slowing force comes from the electric motor recovering energy into the battery.
-
Requested engine power (hybrid)
hybridhv_requested_engine_power · daW · hybrid_hv
Mechanical power the hybrid system is requesting from the gasoline engine.
-
Ambient air temperature
ambient_air_temp · °C · ice
Outside air. Standard PID 46 on many cars; manufacturer DID on others.
-
Auxiliary 12 V battery
aux_12v_voltage · V · electrical
Low-voltage battery, often a manufacturer PID on hybrids.
-
Calculated engine load
engine_load · % · ice
How hard the engine is working as a percentage of its maximum capacity. It is not the same as throttle position or actual torque.
-
Control module voltage
control_module_voltage · V · electrical
OBD module / 12 V related voltage (PID 42). Not HV pack voltage.
-
Engine coolant temperature
coolant_temp · °C · ice
ICE coolant. Do not confuse with HV pack temperature.
-
Engine oil temperature
oil_temp · °C · ice
Standard PID 5C when supported.
-
Engine RPM
engine_rpm · rpm · operating
Crankshaft speed. Almost always a standard Mode 01 PID.
-
Fuel tank level
fuel_level · % · ice
Standard Mode 01 PID 2F. Not HV battery SOC.
-
Intake air temperature
intake_air_temp · °C · ice
Temperature of air entering the engine. Used by the ECU for fuel and timing calculations.
-
Intake manifold pressure
map · kPa · ice
Absolute pressure in the intake manifold (MAP). At idle it reflects engine vacuum; under boost it rises above atmospheric.
-
Mass air flow
maf · g/s · ice
Mass of air entering the engine per second. Helps the ECU calculate fuel delivery and load.
-
Throttle position
throttle_position · % · operating
How far the throttle is open (relative). On drive-by-wire cars this may differ from accelerator pedal position.
-
Vehicle speed
vehicle_speed · km/h · operating
OBD vehicle speed (not GPS). Standard Mode 01 PID 0D.
