Scan Gauge II

I just installed an Ultra Gauge. It's quite similar to a SG2, but only $70 plus s/h. So far it is well worth it.

Since you got it working, it doesn't matter, but I found that you need to make sure you only have one xgauge set for any item, I got unpredictable results when I tried entering multiple gauges to see which one would work for trans temp.

Here are my settings.

Thanks for the reply mikebo. That is one of the settings I tried. I called Scan Gauge and the girl I talked to had me go through all four settings (one of which I had mis-entered the first time)all to no avail. She suggested I email someone there to see if they had any other suggestions. I thought maybe someone here had a different code to try.

****** Update I just went out and re-entered that sequence you used - got nothing again. Unplugged the gauge, plugged it back in, and it gave me a transmission temp. reading. Thanks again. :B

Thought I'd pull up this older thread to ask a question about the scan gauge II. I just replaced my original scan gauge with a scan gauge II. One of the reasons for the replacement was the ability to read the transmission temp. with the the new gauge. My MH is on a 2013 Ford E450 with the V10 engine. I've tried the four different settings with the X gauge commands,but can't get any transmission temp reading with any setting. Has anyone been able to get a transmission temp. reading on a newer Ford V10 ? According to my mechanic the trans. temp does come through the OBD II connection port.

I monitor eot, ect, tranny temp, ficm voltage, battery, and soon to add the egt probe, but I don't think many would argue that its a bit more important to watch my 6.0 than your 7.3.

I've been using my ScanGageII for a few months now and monitor engine oil and engine coolant temps (EOT&ECT) mainly. I have a 7.3 Ford Diesel with a six speed tranny so you can get ECT. I look at a bunch of other parimiters but mainly stay with EOT and ECT as my two primaries.

Not to hijack this thread, but what is the brightest, easiest to see, greatest contrast color?

I don't know about the Scangauge, but the Insight automatically adjusts to light conditions.

Scanguage can be set to all kinds of back light colors so I have it set to match the MB dash and it's a near perfect match. Great night and day.

If you have an android device such as cell phone, tablet, etc. You may want to look into a bluetooth adapter that plugs into the odbII bus port. Then you can use an app called Torque that allows you to customize as many gauges as you like. The adapter available on Ebay for less than $20 and the Torque app which is $5 and your ready to go.

Agree completely. I have one I bought for $11 on Ebay, and it bluetooths with my android. Torque app $5. Full wireless setup was $16.

I have been using a ScanGauge II on my diesel motorhome for 6 years. Works great. The only data missing is EGT's.
