here is the bottom part of the Idle and the same for the run hrs

Just tried with the file, says no data for the engine Idle and run time when I select test or try to view on a display. Oh well, maybe it doesn't work with my obd2 dongle, but not worth buying a new one just to try. Everything else I've done has worked.

interesting, don't know if there are any fellow members in your area with an OBDLink to test the dongle theory. There are a few setting in the "OBD2 Adapter settings" , "Disable ELM327 auto timing" and "Faster Comm." might give a try sometime.

Sorry couldn't get it running

I decided to order a obdlink mx+ . Even though mine works fine for most things I know there are a few features the mx+ has that mine doesn't. Hopefully it works

So got the obdlink mx + today and connected to it with my phone, then the obdlink app and torque pro app. Eng Idle and runtime loaded via your csv still does not work. Same error I got with my other obd2 reader. I tried updating the firmware on mx+ and now can't connect to it. Gave up for the night. Will factory reset it tomorrow and try again,but not hopeful to get eng Idle and run hours working. Says no data received for both when trying to test them.

Some of the PID codes on that list don't work on a 2018+ Cummings.
