Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

I'll try the Remaining Oil Life gauge in my older van sometime to see if it works.



That gauge should factor in idling in addition to mileage for it to be useful I'd think.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

I'd like to have an Hour Meter gauge on my van. I can use my van's engine as a generator so knowing the total run time would be useful info to help decide when to change the engine oil.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

I tried the oil pressure codes in the previous posts and none worked for me. I have read that oil pressure info might not go to the PCM in lots of vehicles and instead goes straight to the dash...

RXF: 04620511065C

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

My '97 GM diesel van has an oil pressure gauge in the dash cluster. Oil pressure is shown in kPa.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

I've used about half a tank of fuel since I did the initial Scangauge fuel fillup.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

I moved this topic from the General Discussion. I think it qualifies as a Tweak or a Modification.

I'll take a magnet & check the pan just out of interest next time I'm under the van.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

There's a Torx T-55 head drain plug on my 4L80E transmission's pan. It is recessed. Maybe you have one as well.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

That photo probably just adds to the mystery as it is just not zoomed in enough to see what is going on.

Looks like I should be able to display a trip value as an XGauge. Page 28 in both the printed manual I have and the PDF version.

Re: Utilizing your ScanGauge

This is the new topic for using a ScanGauge. It is a bit choppy and I left some posts from the other topic in to give it some flow. I can change the topic name if anyone thinks of a better title. ...
