You have to cut a tee into the line. we could not find a proper Metric adapter for the AiM sensor on my buddies S197. Eastwood makes a nice vise held multi flaring tool that worked perfectly. https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-pro-brake-tubing-flaring-tool-with-45-and-37-degree-die-set.html https://www.speedwaymotors.com/3-8-...vRhDjFf1EZiVD-SeazjhczF1Lxwvgq3IaAqWPEALw_wcBI am looking to add a true brake PSI sender to my data system. The sender is easy, the port not so much.
The master threads are M12x1 and offer very little to no options in regards of T fittings that add an NPT port. What have you used or what could I use without cutting into my brake lines?

Chris can you write it up again on how to access that data using AiM if possible.if you still have the ford 11-14 ABS system on your HS canbus with the control pack you can just ask for the data there on

That works for both Boss 302S/R (similar to controls pack) and OEM GT/Boss (production canbus system with ECU bridge in cluster)
Thanks Chris, that will be helpful to many. The GT350 ECU preset has brake pressure, that is what I use for my data info. The brake bar in my video is brake pressure info.For 11-14 - AIM has two published ECU presets, the "Boss 302R X05 OF" and "Mustang 2011" ECU presets which only the boss has the "aMCylPressES" ID for the master cylinder pressure sensor (located in the abs box). You can always make a custom can protocol in Racestudio 3, add this CAN ID to that, and load it to a config for a device or dash that has the "Mustang 2011" ECU already mapped and overwrite that value.
15+ gets a bit more complicated but their new v2 presets seem to be a bit better there (but I don't have a spare AIM device to play with besides the smartycam which has limited ECU bridge capability)
Let me know and I can go into more detail, but I'm far from an AIM expert - just have some canbus background and slept at a Holiday Inn Express.
I can't remember if the can ID is hex or decimal, so screenshots here are hex for the 529 ID (which you might have to test both ways):

Yes - it’s pressure based. There’s no pedal travel sensor for the brake and from a platform perspective travel is less useful data than pressure. It’s read from the abs box on the from the master cylinder feed - which is why the only wires you see on either the master cylinder or brake pedal is either the brake light switch or the low fluid sensor.I have been using the same data so far but was under the impression it was just pedal travel on the GT and not actual brake pressure. Thus I have been looking to add an actual pressure sender. Have I been mistaken the whole time?
That is great news. I also found the twist in my thinking. The Can profile on my old Aim DL was using the brake light trigger and only providing a binary signal. When using your RaceCapture preset I did not realize that it was using actual brake pressure and more importantly that the car even supports that.Yes - it’s pressure based.

This is great information, I've been looking for some time for more information on Ford ECU channels. While I'm using the AIM 2011+ ECU presets with my Solo 2DL, that ECU set is incomplete when it comes to many of the vehicle health and driver performance measures I'd like to see. Brake Pressure is one of them, IAT and IAT2 (2012 GT500 with Supercharger/Intercooler) are others.For 11-14 - AIM has two published ECU presets, the "Boss 302R X05 OF" and "Mustang 2011" ECU presets which only the boss has the "aMCylPressES" ID for the master cylinder pressure sensor (located in the abs box).

I don't think for GT there was any oil temp or pressure measured. The oem gauge for 2011-2014 GT cars was a switch-driven (aka, it moves the needle to the ok range if there's pressure, and goes red if not, but no actual measurement).This is great information, I've been looking for some time for more information on Ford ECU channels.

Do you or anyone else have a list of CAN IDs for the common vehicle items like Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, IAT etc.? I don't have any experience with Canbus though I am fairly computer literate and willing to give just about anything a try. (Including pushing the AIM ECU team to update the 2011+ Preset)
