After plugging in Toyota Techstream and going to the section to use Actuation for body control module. A whole much of new CAN IDs showed up.
I’ve never had anything past 0x638
This one value changed when I used the software to Actuate the wireless alarm buzzer, which actually emitted a sound! (I don’t have keyless entry, but I guess the buzzer is still equipped).
What I am wondering is… Can I send a CAN FRAME to the ECU to activate anything…? With this new info, is there anything I can do to make Realdash see these new values? Or would I always have to have Toyota Techstream connected to do so…
Yes, you can write any CAN frame that is defined in XML file simply by modifying its value with actions. Alternatively you can use ‘Send CAN Frame’ action to send a static frame.
What do you mean by “actions”. Is the Send CAN Frame only to simulate that frame changing? I tried doing this with the SEND FRAME button and it changed the frame but only momentarily, and nothing happened in the car.
Can you give me an example?
Also, those new frames that showed up are not defined in the XML, They didnt show up until I connected to the car with Toyota Techstream. I’m not sure why…
this is the SEND FRAME date I sent
0x750 0x40 0x04 0x30 0x14 0x05 0x80 0x00 0x00
upon doing this, it showed up in the window, but the buzzer did not emit sound.
Should I try to do this with “Extended CAN Frames”?
The Send Frame button in CAN monitor is independent of XML file. Frame is just sent immediately ‘as is’. Same applies to ‘Send CAN Frame’ action. To test the action:
Edit dashboard and add a button.
With button selected, go to ‘Input & Values’ and tap ‘Select Button Actions’ button.
Tap ‘New Action’
Change the action name, tap ‘Action Type’ button and select ‘Send CAN Frame’
Enter CAN frame ID and data bytes to ‘Frame’ edit box. For example: 0x750:11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88
Tap ‘Done’ until back in dashboard, exit edit mode and press your button to send a CAN frame.
