Scangauge Connector

Im guessing your DP doesn't have OBD. Most diesels have a J port, the round connector and the gas scanguage isn't compatible.

I use a Silverleaf software with a cable to my laptop.

Its Cummins, not Cummings.

Around here it's Cummins... around your buddies it's Cummings.

I am a better speeler thqan typist.

That was my guess as well. I expect that it would have a J port to work with the Scangauge D, but I sure can't find it.

I guess we should be correct and refer to ScanGaugeD. ; )

Look in the compartment below the driver on the outside. Might be tucked into the console area on the left inside as well. Might have both.

YC,

In the compartment was more possible than I thought, once I got out there, but no connector nor hint of where it could be. I looked under the coach, open area and did not see anything, though it seems unlikely it would be exposed.

I went through the console carefully again, and no connector that meets the description.

Any more ideas?

Contact the people at scan gauge they can help.

On my '14 Tuscany (Cummins and Allison), the OBD (round connector) is at the rear of the coach on a panel immediately above the radiator. Don't have, or at least I haven't stumbled across it yet, one inside the coach at the driver's station...

The round connector is called a J connector. Mine is left of my steering column above my left foot.

Matt,
First off, you've stated your coach and model. But, just wondering, what chassis? I'm not all that familiar with Monaco's so, I don't know what chassis they came with. But, I also don't know if you have a diagnostic round connector, at the rear of your coach, just above the radiator. That is, if yours is a REAR RADIATOR. I'm going to try and link a picture of the diagnostic port on mine. It's very typical of many diesel rear radiator coaches but, not necessarily ALL of them.
Now, if this picture comes through, all you'll really see is the cap for the diagnostic port, not the port itself. But, if you have one, on the rear, I'd bet dollars to donuts that you'd have the identical front one, just to the left of the steering column and, usually it's tucked pretty deep down in that area. It may be consealed by a loom or, something else.

But, at least on most, that cap is a gray cerrated cap, typically right at 1 1/8" in diameter. That cap usually takes about 1/3 of turn to remove it from the connector. One thing here, DO NOT LOOSE THAT CAP!!! If you do, it will run you a measly TWENTY DOLLARS at your local Diesel service center, JUST FOR THE CAP! Typically, it's tethered on a small connector so it doesn't get lost.

But, any way, take a look deep into that lower, left steering column area, quite possibly up against or, even attached to the firewall just a few inches up from the floor. There seems to be no real rhyme or reason for the area they're installed. Good luck.

You will need the Scanguage D, which will have the proper connectors for your diesel pusher. I have used on with my 97 Beaver Monterey with a Cat engine for several years now, and love it!! I also have the factory display, but it is in the middle of the dash, and is impossible to read in daylight, so the Scanguage works for me. You can program it to show several different functions.
