Research direction

Read the DBC entries for Aux_Battery_Voltage and TIRE_PRESSURES, then check the fields defined in OpenCarControls/contracts issue 23. Trace where firmware decodes bus signals into contract fields and identify the contract’s tire pressure unit. Done when both values are decoded and tire pressure is converted to that unit.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

e-gmp

Decode Aux_Battery_Voltage and TIRE_PRESSURES (already in the DBC) into the fields from https://github.com/OpenCarControls/contracts/issues/23. Tire pressures are in psi on the bus; convert to whatever unit the contract picks.
