# Vehicle Profiles

Each `*.json` file here is a **vehicle profile** — pure data that makes the
OBDash app vehicle-agnostic. A profile defines a vehicle's PIDs (with safe
scaling formulas), DTC meanings, and named presets. Load one in the app via
**Profile → Load**, or drop a new file in this folder and it appears in the list.

**Contributions welcome** — add a profile for your vehicle and open a PR.

## Current profiles

| File | Vehicle | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `ford-6.0-powerstroke.json` | Ford 6.0L Power Stroke (2003–2007) | Verified Mode-22 PIDs (ICP, FICM, EBP, MAP/BARO, EOT, …) + DTCs |
| `jeep-wrangler-4.0-1997.json` | 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4.0L I6 | ISO 9141-2; speed-density (MAP), single-bank trims, Chrysler P1xxx DTCs |
| `ford-mustang-cobra-4.6-1996.json` | 1996 Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 DOHC 32V | EEC-V, SAE J1850 PWM, MAF, Ford P1xxx DTCs |
| `ford-mustang-gt-4.6-1996.json` | 1996 Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC 2V | EEC-V, SAE J1850 PWM, MAF, Ford P1xxx DTCs |
| `mercury-mountaineer-4.6-2006.json` | 2006 Mercury Mountaineer 4.6 V8 | EEC-V, MAF, Ford P1xxx DTCs (verify PWM-vs-CAN on the vehicle) |
| `honda-crv-2.4-2007.json` | 2007 Honda CR-V 2.4 I4 (K24Z1) | ISO 15765 CAN, MAF + wideband A/F, single-bank, Honda P1xxx DTCs |
| `honda-odyssey-3.5-2022.json` | 2022 Honda Odyssey 3.5 V6 (J35 VCM) | ISO 15765 CAN, MAF, dual-bank (4 O2/AF sensors), Honda DTCs |
| `generic-obd2.json` | Any OBD-II vehicle (1996+) | Standard SAE Mode-01 PIDs only — a base to fork from |

Profiles for the four 1996–2006 vehicles were built from web research (standard
SAE PIDs + manufacturer DTCs), validated through the loader, but **not yet read
on the actual vehicles** — confidence reflects sourcing, not bench confirmation.

## Schema (`schema: 1`)

```jsonc
{
  "schema": 1,
  "meta": {
    "name": "Ford 6.0L Power Stroke",   // shown in the Profile menu
    "make": "Ford", "model": "...", "years": "2003-2007",
    "engine": "6.0L Power Stroke diesel",
    "author": "you", "version": "1.0.0",
    "protocol": "auto",                 // ELM ATSP target, or "auto"
    "notes": "provenance / confidence policy / caveats"
  },
  "presets": { "crank": ["ICP","FICM_M","BATT","RPM"], "...": [] },
  "pids": [ /* see below */ ],
  "dtcs": [ {"code":"P0087","desc":"...","system":"fuel","no_start":true,"causes":""} ]
}
```

### PID fields

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `key` | short unique id used in presets/derived (e.g. `ICP`) |
| `name` | display name |
| `mode` | `01` (generic SAE), `22` (manufacturer-enhanced), `atrv` (adapter pin voltage), `derived` (computed from other PIDs) |
| `pid` | request id hex — `0C` (mode 01) or `1446` (mode 22) |
| `nbytes` | expected data bytes in the response |
| `formula` | scaling expression (see below) |
| `round` | display rounding: omit = raw, `0` = integer, `2` = 2 dp |
| `unit`, `group` | display unit; group = `fuel\|ficm\|air\|engine\|driveline\|power\|misc` |
| `vmin`,`vmax` | range (used for gauges + the Normalize overlay) |
| `confidence` | `verified` (multi-source / read on a real vehicle), `doc` (sourced, unconfirmed), `tentative` (single-source / disputed) |
| `deps` | for `derived`: the PID keys the formula references |
| `notes` | freeform; surfaced as a tooltip |

### Formula language

Arithmetic over **data-byte variables** `A, B, C, …` (byte 0, 1, 2, …) — the
same convention as Torque/FORScan/ScanGauge:

```
(A*256+B)*0.57      # 16-bit * scale  (ICP psi)
A-40                # 8-bit temp
(A>>1)&1            # a status bit
A//2                # integer divide  (gear)
```

For `derived` PIDs the variables are **other PID keys**: `"MAP - BARO"` with
`"deps": ["MAP","BARO"]`.

Formulas are evaluated by a **safe AST evaluator** (`obdcore/formula.py`):
only numbers, the declared variables, arithmetic/bitwise operators, and
`min/max/abs/round/int/float` are allowed. Anything else (names, attribute
access, arbitrary calls) is rejected at load — so a community profile **cannot
execute code**.

## Caveats worth recording in `notes`

- Manufacturer-enhanced (`22`) PIDs vary by model year and PCM strategy.
- Some signals aren't on the OBD stream at all (e.g. the 6.0 has no EGT or
  lube-oil-pressure PID — only ICP and EOT). Don't invent them.
- Mark single-source numbers `tentative` and say so in `notes`.
