Step 5 — OBD2 live scanner (Web Bluetooth)
Pair ELM327 · read DTCs · stream live data
OBD2 SESSION — 2013 Ford F-150 XLT
Adapter: ELM327 v1.5 · Bluetooth paired
Protocol: ISO 15765-4 CAN (11-bit, 500 kbaud)
Stored DTCs:
· P0171 — System too lean (Bank 1)
· P0316 — Misfire detected on startup (first 1,000 rev)
Live PIDs:
Coolant 195°F · RPM 758 · STFT B1 +12.4% · LTFT B1 +9.1% · MAF 4.8 g/s
🔧
Step 6 — AI Repair Estimate
From DTCs P0171 + P0316 → diagnosis + cost band
AI DIAGNOSIS — Most likely root cause
Vacuum leak at intake manifold gasket and/or PCV hose (consistent with lean fuel trims +9–12% and cold-start misfire).
Recommended next steps:
1. Smoke-test intake manifold and PCV system
2. Inspect throttle body and IMRC plate seals (known weak point on 3.5L EcoBoost)
3. Reset adaptive fuel trims and retest after repair
Cost band — your ZIP 85254:
| Scenario | Parts | Labor | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCV hose only | $48 | $95 | $143 |
| Intake gasket + PCV | $165 | $420 | $585 |
| + Throttle body reseal | $240 | $540 | $780 |
| Most likely | $165 | $420 | $585 |

Pinout:
1 BAT+ · 2 GND · 3 CAN-H · 4 CAN-L · 5 IGN-SW · 6 5V REF · 7 SIG RTN · 8 SHIELD
Most-likely fault: Pin 6 (5V REF) drift due to chafe at frame rail clip — measure 4.78 V vs spec 5.00 V ± 0.05 V.
