    Just unplug it and plug it back it. Mine did the same thing. I couldn't get it to come on, so I reached down and unplugged it and plugged it back in and it has worked fine since.

    What I'm saying is seeing the MPG's drop live on your screen would make you drive more conservatively.

    You blew the fuse. Happened to mine, just replace the fuse labeled OBD in the under the hood fuse box. It's a 7.5 fuse.

    Has anyone used one of these gauges on an 01 taco? I was looking at the compatibility chart on their website and it said something about it not being able to work on my year, which does not make sense because you would think that it would be the same for all of the 1st gen years....
    any comments would be appreciated

    I have an 01 and it works fine. The only thing you have to worry about is if you have abs. The ultragauge disables the abs, but if you don't have it then you have nothing to worry about.
