scan gauge q's

Had to go out to the truck and get the user manual. On p42, it tells you how to program your own X-gauge. The info you want is:

TXD: 07E021D9
RXF: 032180000000
RXD: 2810
MTH: 00070064FE70
NAM: TFT
NOTES: Degrees F

NAM is the name of the X-gauge and stands for transmission fluid temperature. You can make it anything you want. I assume that this is the convertor temp because you can see it changing rapidly when the convertor isn't locked. The pan temp would change more slowly. I don't know whether there is a separate monitor for pan temp, nor how it would be programmed into the SG.

HTH.

 

Can you get any of these gauges to read tire pressure? I think it would be handy to see each tire like my wife's Acura.

 

is the x gauge part of the regular sg? thats what i think i have
i gotta make the blend mount work

 

It's a part of ScanGaugeII.

One like this

 

thats how i wanna mount it too

 

no the tpms is either low or high from the reset value
it doesn't send pressure to the canbus just a signal light on or light off

 

scangauge x-gauge can be set up
with two for the tranny

converter where immediate heat increase comes from
pan where it is average temp

I have both programmed and forgot the x-gauge codes for both

but anyhow transmission temp is a critical gauge and those who
have ultragauges and cannot see tranny temps ? u r missing out

critical things to see on any gauge
---
water temp
tranny temp 1 and 2
volts

watching how these behave over time can make a new
issue stand out...like tranny cooler failure or water cooling system failure

or basic ...hey I am towing a f**kton and climbing a bunch of hills,
lets see how my tranny temp handles it...if you see it climbing above 200
a lot, then you know you need a tranny fluid service done more often
(severe service interval)

 

That's too bad. Hell, I rented a U-Haul to move my kid back to college and even that piece of crap had the TPMS read-out.

 

Quick question, does the scangauge automatically determine MPG or does it have to be calibrated like Ultragauge?

 

They all have to be calibrated. I mean, it does show MPG out of the box, but calibrating it, makes it more precise.

 

Sweet, thanks.

 

Ya wouldn't happen to remember where you got them, would ya? When I originally searched for the temp code, I only found the one. I'd like to have the other, too.

I watch the trans temp when I'm towing my dirt bike. I've seen it just hit 200°. I've done a trans flush and will be doing periodic drain and fills now that I'm towing.

edit: OK, figured it out. 2010+ Tacos have two sensors. Older ones (mine) do not.

 

good information to know thanks
