6L80 temperature gauge

[JP553]

Hey all,
Looking at installing a temperature gauge for my transmission(6L80 in a ve ssv s2). Just wondering if there is a way to pull a temp reading from the ECM/ECU/CanBus system the same way engine oil pressure, engine oil temp and battery voltage is obtained in the club sports and series 1

I have already considered plumbing in either through the transmission sump or somewhere near the transmission oil cooler which I will do if there is no other way of obtaining it

Thanks in advance

The data will be within the CANbus, just need to find a way to extract it.
Like with the EDI on HSV's.

Yes you can pull loads of data from the trans over the canbus just have to work out which PID does what but I think you will find loads of people have worked out the individual ones you want and you will probably find them with a google search.

For anybody wanting to do fit transmission temperature gauges to a ve commodore, check out speedhut.com. They do gauges that plug into the OBDII port for GM vehicles with the possibility of linking 3 gauges together
