Transmission oil temperature display in real time!

If you have a sealed transmission Toyota and need to check the ATF level after changing/flushing the fluid, THEN you should do so within a very specific temperature range. You can jumper procedure to specific OBD2 connectors and shift gears until the magic DRIVE light starts blinking etc. Forget it! You can easily program the XGauge codes into Scan Gauge 2 and it will show you the real-time ATF temperature. The codes are simple and available on the Scan Gauge 2 website. PS Follow Scan Gauge 2…

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Amazing technique. Warning, the firmware may be old.

Excellent tool. I now have access to my 13th Tacoma's transmission temp. There are actually two temperatures, one in the sump and one after the torque converter. There's also MPG, intake air temp, coolant temp, and more. The device fits perfectly with Velcro on top of the steering column. A HUGE disappointment is that they sent me a device with firmware version 4.42 which is two versions out of date. The current version is 4.5. This means I can't determine the tire pressure. How cool would it…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Drill kit

Great tool and AMAZING customer service

I bought this to keep track of important things for my 6.0 liter power stroke diesel engine. Engine oil temp, engine coolant temp, fuel injector control module voltage, turbo boost, etc. Everything worked great and I'm very happy with it. Keeping track of miles per gallon is easy, but most importantly, I once had a problem with it when it wasn't reading information. I don't know if it was a truck problem or a scangauge problem but I called the company, got A LIVE PERSON IMMEDIATELY and didn't…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly

Required for tools and equipment

I have a super powerful 2001 Ford F250 with a 7.3 liter diesel engine. I carry a lot of heavy equipment, hay and many other heavy things that are regularly queried. With this sensor I can control any sensor that can control anything on this truck. The installation of the pressure gauge is very simple. It is very important to constantly monitor the transmission temperature, engine oil temperature and exhaust gas temperature while driving. This meter will do all of that and more. This is required

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Nothing here

ATF Temperature Gauge for my 2013 Nissan Frontier V6

I got the Scangauge II primarily to gauge the ATF temperature. I followed the advice of others and used the service manual procedure to check the ATF level and I always estimated if the level was correct. According to the workshop manual, the ATF level should be checked at a specific ATF temperature. I have followed the Scangauge II setup and tuning instructions closely and it displays the ATF 1 temperature and ATF 2 temperature on my 2013 Nissan Frontier V6. Now I can be sure that the ATF is…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price

I have a ScanGauge 2 in another car and need an extra one for my 2016 Subaru WRX. I checked the ScanGauge website to make sure the ScanGauge is valid for my vehicle. I was interested in the EOT engine oil temperature that the website said was available for the WRX. After receiving my new ScanGauge and setting up the WRX, I found that after entering the EOT X-Gauge parameters from the published manual, the EOT does not appear. I have sent an email to ScanGauge Support. They sent me an OBDII…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • So far so good

Easy to install and monitor MANY things!

This little thing can make your old car compete with its MUCH newer counterparts with real-time monitoring of key parameters such as battery voltage, fuel consumption, tire pressure on some cars, coolant temperature, transmission temperature, fuel consumption in gallons per hour, instantaneous fuel consumption, consumed Performance, programmed when filling up to see how many miles to empty, etc. etc. I used to have a Prius and since I got rid of it I miss the instantaneous and average fuel…
