PDK Transmission and Raw CAN Data

Post by TinoD »

Good Morning All,

I hope this is the correct forum to discuss this information.

I'm in the midst of mating an LCD dash system to a Porsche PDK transaxle that uses a Syvecs controller.

The parameters of interest are as follows:

0x600 - RPM/Tachometer: start bit 8, length 16
0x608 - Vehicle Speed: start bit 8, length 16
0x613 - Gear: start bit 8, length 16
0c61F - tcSelect : start bit 24, length 16

Can anyone share their experience with the raw data values that presented by the controller? Specifically
the array element value in HEX (or binary) format?

ie: CAN ID 0x608 Vehicle Speed, will the data simply be a HEX value for speed in MPH, such as 0C = 12 MPH?

I'm assuming tcSelect is the transmission mode? If not, is there another ID that will indicate the selected mode
of operation?

Thank you for any tips in advance. It will save a great deal of bus scanning if this data can be made available!

tcselect is traction control select.

This was started to cover some stuff, not sure it's gone much further though

Thanks for the link.

I don't see any reference to transaxle mode on the list unfortunately.

I'll see if I can identify any other tags that might be associated from the DBC file.

Two more possibilities from the DBC file (not updated on WIKI):


0x607, - runMode start 8, 16 length [within data logging set?]

0x61F , launch select, calSelect

runmode relates to the engine runmode

launch select is just that, whatever the current launch control cal is., Cal select, obviously the current engine calibration settting.

Thanks for your help.

I guess I'll be left to scan the bus for changes.
