Ultra gauge trans temp Err on 2011 Tacoma

I just get Err on my trans temp Mgauge. I have the programming set to the corrections per their website and direction.

Automatic Transimission
MX1.3 gauge

Any help available here?

I went ahead and ordered an MX 1.3 and after a little research and some experimenting, I now have it displaying the Trans Pan and TC temps for my 2007 Tacoma. The UG as programmed only reads the TC temp. The TC will run a little higher than the Pan temp unless you are cruising down the highway with the TC locked, in which case the two temps will level off and read exactly the same. Cruising down the highway on my way home tonight I was seeing temps of about 133f with the TC locked (ambient temps ~75f) Upon acceleration from stoplights I was seeing temps at the TC of about 150f. I am seeing about a 20-30 degree (f) difference between the pan and tc temps when accelerating. I found the Scangauge II codes on an FJ Cruiser forum and was able to convert the code for the trans pan temperature reading using the instructions given in the box with the UG.
Now.... I'm sure you're wondering, what's the coding for the pan temp?
I went to the Mgauge settings and went to Mgauge 4, which is meant to be the trans display for Celsius temps, however the only difference between Mgauge 4 and the Fahrenheit gauge (Mgauge 5) is the output format. For F you need to have the output set to 10, and for C you set the output to 00. Go ahead and set the Mgauge 4 output to 10. Next, on Mgauge 4, change the RPos from 1810 to 0810. That's all there is to it!
OPTIONAL: You Can change the name on the gauges to reflect the Pan or TC temp. (See Pics)

Your truck may have been made late enough to use the 12+ codes. Try these:

I'll just leave this here for anyone that wants the Pan and TC temps for their 12-15 Tacoma (may work for earlier years, not sure when the coding changed). Myself and @JD'STaco got these codes to work on his 2014. If you want the codes for the older Tacos you can see my post on the last page. (Post #557)
