Ok, I understand what you are saying with that! Sorry, don't mean to continue to push with questions but I am just very curious and want to get all the information that I can on this!
I understand the software in the module was not around until the late '13+ MYs, but my '11 does have such sensors for transmission temp, TPMS, etc. as going through the manual, even the basic console will receive input from these sensors, but all they do is display something like a message saying hot oil (or something like that) and turning the low tire pressure light on. Additionally, there was a premium EVIC that was available in '11 which was the early version of the upgraded EVIC that was available on all models.
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't all of these sensors and values being processed by the PCM with a value output being sent to the console? And then the console takes that output and decides what to show? So as long as the PCM is sending the correct output value for what it is reading, would an OEM cluster be able to understand and report those values, even speed and RPM and tire pressure and all that accurately? :thinking:
I ask this as well because I know there are companies such as Rubitrux and AEV who do Hemi swaps which also changes the PCM and the consoles also would just fine. Additionally, gauges like the Aeroforce can receive these values, meaning that there is a number output from the PCM that the cluster could access. This could be completely wrong, so if it is, go ahead and correct me with the right info, but just some ideas that I have had and wondering if this would be accurate?
Thanks guys! :thumb:
