Scan gauge

I’m looking to get a scan gauge to monitor temps and fuel economy what model is the best and how do I know which model is compatible with my taco it’s 2010 pre runner

 

The scan gauge web site can answer this.

 

I got a Scangauge II. As far as I know it’s one size fits all. It plugs into the OBD2 port. I had to input codes to tell the SG2 what I wanted monitored.

 

Do you have to upload the codes off a computer?

 

The ScanGage 2 has many built in monitoring parameters that you can choose to display in any of 4 positions. But you need to program in what they call X Codes for some other vehicle specific ones like transmission temperature. This using menus on the device itself. Then they will be available to select like the other parameters. The SC website has instructions, and it is not too hard.

 

As mentioned earlier, website has the best information. I did scangage 2 in the overhead, had a difficult time getting all my readings correct but when it was right it was perfect. And the analog type readout and color options matched the 2nd gen perfect.
