Dodge Grand Caravan vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

Get API keys →

DIMO gives developers API access to Dodge Grand Caravan vehicle data. Model years 2011 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include fuel percentage, vehicle speed and engine rpm.

DIMO provides a vehicle data API for the Dodge Grand Caravan through a DIMO device, covering model years 2011 and newer; coverage for this vehicle has been tested. DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. Vehicle owners consent to and control sharing, so builders get data with clear provenance. Exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT, then query the Telemetry API with GraphQL.

No factory connectivity?

Dodge Grand Caravan model years 2011 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

Events available

  • Idling
  • Refuel
  • New diagnostic trouble code
  • Harsh braking

Build it

Query the latest Dodge Grand Caravan signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';
const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect
const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
...developerJwt,
tokenId,
});
// Latest Dodge Grand Caravan signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
...vehicleJwt,
query: `
query {
signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
value
timestamp
}
speed {
value
timestamp
}
powertrainCombustionEngineSpeed {
value
timestamp
}
}
}`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

FAQ

Can I read fuel level remotely on a Dodge Grand Caravan?

Yes, through a DIMO device. The record lists the powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel signal (Fuel Percentage) for this vehicle, and you read it from the Telemetry API with a Vehicle JWT. The segments resource with the refuel mechanism detects where fuel level rises significantly.

How do I track a Dodge Grand Caravan with no connected services?

The record lists a DIMO device as the connection for this vehicle. Once the owner shares the vehicle with your Developer License, exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT through the Token Exchange API and query the Telemetry API.

Can I get check-engine light alerts for a Dodge Grand Caravan?

The record lists the dtc event and the obdDTCList signal (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) for this vehicle through a DIMO device. You can read obdDTCList from the Telemetry API, and the Vehicle Triggers API (webhooks, in public beta) sends a POST to your targetURL when a condition you configure is met.

How do I detect idling on a Dodge Grand Caravan?

The record lists the idling event for this vehicle through a DIMO device. Query the segments resource in the Telemetry API with the idling mechanism, which finds contiguous periods where engine RPM stays in the idle range and requires a DIMO device. The default idle RPM ceiling is 1000, adjustable with maxIdleRpm.

How do I verify Dodge Grand Caravan mileage?

The record lists the odometer signal (powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance) for the DIMO LTE R1 device on this vehicle. Call the Attestation API odometer-statement endpoint with a Vehicle JWT, then retrieve the signed attestation through the Telemetry API.

Which Dodge Grand Caravan model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Dodge Grand Caravan model years 2011 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Dodge Grand Caravan data?

Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Dodge Grand Caravan, so data comes from a DIMO device.
