CANBUS PID list information

Does anyone know where I can get a CANBUS PID (Ranger PX3) list like for a BA Falcon in the link I have posted

I am wanting to monitor speed and be able to canbus inject simulate the holding in of the start/stop button to shutdown the vehicle.

Nope. There will not be any specific list floating around as you have found. Manufacturers keep this data pretty tight although you could in reality reverse engineer the module bin files.

These manufacturer specific canbus messages are found by end users monitoring the bus whilst turning on and off devices etc.

Speed is pretty easy to find if you log the bus then use play back to simulate. Just be careful as it will increment your odometer.

I don't believe there will be a message for the start stop button, it is hardwired to BCM so there is no message.

You would have more luck monitoring the BCM messages for engine shutdown. Problem you will have is BCM is sending the ignition state over the bus which in reality you will not override as you would have to change the whole ignition status message. It is more than likely that your message will be rejected unless you stop the BCM message prior with another programmable repeater/gateway.

Keep in mind most of this is thought of so that malicious devices cannot override certain controls when the vehicle is in a certain state.
