: Scan Gauge II & ATF Temp lelandstanford 07-18-2008, 06:11 AM Just bought a Scan Gauge II w/ XGauge for a 1Gen Tundra V-8.
It's going to tow < 3500 lb from Texas to Idaho (climbing).
How do I monitor ATF temp w/ Scan Gauge? HOGWILD 07-18-2008, 06:53 AM So when did they add this feature? The other threads on this product say it is not available? Boosted27606 07-18-2008, 07:36 AM It is NOT available as of yet.
The Scangauge people told me a few weeks ago that they were " working on it "
I hope they make it work soon.............. lelandstanford 07-18-2008, 08:57 AM TNX.
So much for the $170 just spent.
I guess the only thing useful left is MPG. Boosted27606 07-18-2008, 09:03 AM Before you buy, you might want to investigate first !
Not only you get the MPGs but also the codes you might have, and you can clear them.
You also get HP, and a myriad of additional info that comes handy if you ever need to diagnose problems HOGWILD 07-18-2008, 09:56 AM product worth what ya paid as it is :tu: Sicilngsxr 07-18-2008, 10:13 AM Also, from what I understand, as soon as the Trans temp feature is available, they can reflash our existing scangauges with the new version for a fee. Of course we will have to send it in to them to do that. HOGWILD 07-18-2008, 03:57 PM so are they going to install a sending unit and wire it because the temp sensor i do not think will give a reading till it reaches the idiot light temp which is too late or probably close to it. I would just spend the 100.00 bucks and do your own sending unit kit with all the parts included, just do not put it on the A pillar if ya have srs air bags!! Tundradrenalin 07-18-2008, 04:04 PM TNX.

BJ KamperBob 08-15-2009, 03:59 PM Every so soften I get mad about the folks at Linear Logic stringing us along and failing to crack the ScanGauge codes for trans temp for our trucks. It motivates me to root around the web and see if I can find any potential clue. The fan base is surely large enough! Today I came across this set of XGauge codes.

So I just tried it on my 02 Tundra 4.7L and it looks promising. My truck set in the garage all day today. It was about 90F outside. The initial reading was 78. It didn't change so I held the brake, shifted into D and revved 2000 rpm (convert stall) maybe 15-20 seconds then the numbers started to climb. I shifted back into P and idled for another minute or so while the numbers inched up to 111 peak. After the better part of another minute the number started sinking back down. This looks promising indeed.

KB Boosted27606 08-18-2009, 09:52 PM Was wondering if those codes will actually display Transmission temp.
Any luck anyone ?? TundraBear 08-18-2009, 10:00 PM I'll try the codes tomorrow... shawn74 08-18-2009, 10:04 PM That sounds very promising. I am going on a long trip with my TT this weekend. I'll pop those codes in my SGII and see if I notice the numbers rise as I go through some steep inclines. If the numbers go up as the load on the tranny does that might be what we have all been waiting for. Great job digging those codes up.

I agree, thanks for digging those up and posting them. I just inputted those numbers into my scangauge. WT is measuring 86 degrees and the tranny temp shows the same. I hope to test this out tomorrow. Since I have a fan hooked up to the tranny cooler I should be able to see a significant difference in temperatures when I turn the fan on.
More results to come...:pray: wirelessf 08-18-2009, 11:17 PM Tried it on my truck and it truly works. Shows temp in F but would have preferred C readout instead. AT temp shows ambient temp if truck has been standing overnight. Stop-n-go driving brings the temp to 154F, S-N-G driving to freeway driving brings temp down to 120-130F. Truck is empty only driver.

Fred Dinosaur 08-19-2009, 06:59 PM Any news?? How are things working out with the Tranny Temp codes? Choppin at the bit here... :-) shawn74 08-19-2009, 07:05 PM I tried the new codes on mine but it only shows the name I put in. Nothing else. I checked to make sure I did it right and things look good. Not sure, why though. At least it is working for some of you. I wonder if the newest version wont work with this code. What version are you guys running? dyogim 08-19-2009, 09:36 PM I'm using version 3.17.
So after doing some hwy (around 55mph) and city driving, I'm not sure if the codes are for the tranny or something else.
I had the numbers go up to around 156 and was at a stop light. I flipped the switch and the numbers didn't change. I did this multiple times at different temp ranges ( 140's, 160's) and everytime I flipped the switch to the fan, no significant change.
So either my fan is not doing anyting to cool the tranny down or maybe that code is for something else.
If it's the fan, maybe it's too close to the tranny cooler. I should try to move the fan away an inch or so and see if that provides any positive results.
If it's the code, could it possibly be the code for the oil temp?
More test as time permits.... Dinosaur 08-19-2009, 10:24 PM Thanks guys! I wonder too if the codes posted are for the older models (pre vvti)? Or, maybe they just have not been released for these trucks yet and those codes are for other Toyotas vehicles. dyogim 08-20-2009, 06:53 AM Thanks guys! I wonder too if the codes posted are for the older models (pre vvti)? Or, maybe they just have not been released for these trucks yet and those codes are for other Toyotas vehicles.
Mines a pre vvti (2000 model). In anycase, I don't think it matters on the model. I think the codes are based on brand line(toyota vs GM vs Ford vs ...), gas vs diesel vs hybrid vs electric. shawn74 08-20-2009, 07:19 AM Well now I'm not sure why mine won't work. I have version 3.17 as well. Just checked the code again and everything looks good. Has anyone else with a 2005+ gotten it to work? wirelessf 08-20-2009, 12:12 PM I guess it varies on the protocol it uses. I think toyotas made during or after the year 2004 uses the CAN protocol in the OBDII system. Older trucks uses the ISO protocol. imjin 08-20-2009, 01:22 PM hmm... I just put them in and I'm getting the same results with the number increasing under a load... could it be! Does anybody have any numbers on how hot the tranny normally runs in drive and the various gears on a 2001? tundra05_trd 08-20-2009, 09:05 PM Well now I'm not sure why mine won't work. I have version 3.17 as well. Just checked the code again and everything looks good. Has anyone else with a 2005+ gotten it to work?
I tried it the other day on my '05 and no luck. I was pumped for this! I double checked the codes and as said, all I get is the name I put in. Oh well. shawn74 08-20-2009, 10:36 PM I tell ya, no tranny temp, no clear corners (for DC), no supercharger. They really screwed us 05/06 guys. I love my truck though, what can I say.

Well I finally got around to plugging the codes above into my SGII today. I named the gauge ATF and started the truck but it did not read anything. I highly doubt that it is dependent on movement of the vehicle, but I'll find out when I drive around. Unfortunately I can't do that right now since I think i drained the battery after re-installing my UniChip (it just came back from the factory, see here (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/1gen-tundra/170030-my-unichip-story/) if interested). KamperBob 12-20-2009, 09:25 AM Just checking in. I see the codes didn't work for everyone. Sorry 'bout that. In my case, '02 Tundra 4.7L, I am sure the numbers are right. They go up and down exactly as I would expect.
Someone asked about what temp numbers are good or bad. Hopefully this helps.

I haven't tried them in mine... from what I have gathered they don't work in the later model Gen1s.
Glad it is working for you! kerryman71 12-20-2009, 11:34 AM I just came upon this post. I bought the ScanGauge II during the group
buy here. I must've ignored the original post because the question about
how to check the ATF temperature had been beaten around so often.
I'm definitely interested in checking this out. I have the same year
as kamperbob so hopefully it works out. Thanks for the info.
John kerryman71 12-21-2009, 12:57 PM Well I entered the codes provided by Kamperbob and was successful. By
successful I mean it's reading the temperature of something, which I'm
hoping is the ATF.
I drove my truck today for the first time since entering the codes last night.
It was in the mid 20's (F) today and I noticed the temperature eventually got
up to about 135 F in mainly stop and go traffic. While driving a couple of
miles on the highway it dropped quite a bit. Tomorrow I'll be driving quite a
bit more so hopefully I'll be able to get a better idea of what's going on
with it.
Thanks again Kamperbob from a fellow '02 owner and Central Masser!! You're
in luck too, you're one of the few people that I've been able to send points
to.
John KamperBob 12-21-2009, 05:04 PM Another way to check operation of the trans temp reading is to note when the torque converter locks up. In OD it acts like a 5th gear at ~45 mph min. In D (OD off) it acts like 4th at ~40. When the TC locks, tranny temps plummet.
Cheers
KB kerryman71 12-22-2009, 10:42 AM I checked it out today and it worked. When I hit 45 mph and the tourque converter
locked the temperature dropped from 145 F to about 111 F. Thanks again.

That's great! I hope us later model Gen1 folks get some codes so we can enjoy that as well.
Happy Holidays! TheGryme 12-22-2009, 02:02 PM We're a little slow at the Base today so I snuck out to my truck and plugged in the ATF temperature numbers......on mine........I think it works! :D
It's in the low 40's here today.....really windy....the truck has been parked out there for several hours.....I had it running as I programmed the SG.....hit save after naming it "ATF" and the gage started at 80.......one quick drive around the parking lot and down the street made it climb to 100 or so....I'll know more after tonights and tomorrow mornings drives......but I think it works! :lol: cool! Dinosaur 12-22-2009, 06:37 PM I had some time so I decided to check it out. I tried every transmission fluid temp code I could find on the Scangauge Xgauge guide. None of them worked on my 06 DC. At least now I know and can stop wondering.
Congratulations to those who could get it to work on the earlier Gen1s. I guess it is like stated somewhere around here the newer ones are CAN. I did notice the code that works is the VWISO code, go figure. I suppose one could spend there time guessing and inputting codes... that could take a lifetime though.
Won't hold my breath on this one, but maybe the folks who produce the Scangauge will eventually get the code. KamperBob 12-23-2009, 02:54 AM Was it 2005 when vehicle codes changed, perhaps due to power train changes?

Check out Kamperbob's post #35 in regards to the torque converter. That's what
convinced me that it was reading the ATF and not something else.

That leads to the question of why doesn't it seem to work in the 05 - 06 Gen1s. When I did input the codes I checked them a couple of times to make sure I was accurate. Of course I caught myself a couple of times with a number off... and then retried. Maybe it is the difference in transmissions... 00 - 04 had the same or very similar 4 speed, correct? A different OEM temp sensor system for those 5 speed transmissions. Remmy700P 12-23-2009, 01:41 PM That leads to the question of why doesn't it seem to work in the 05 - 06 Gen1s...

I'd wager that's exactly it. However, I still think that the appropriate PID (Parameter ID) is available for the '05-'XX ECUs; it just hasn't been "found" yet.

I agree. With some dumb luck maybe one of the many folks who want it will stumble across the proper codes. We know there is a temp sensor and a tech with the proper scanner can hook up and read the temp... so it is definitely there.
Finding it would probably be like finding the link to make the keyless entry into an alarm on the DCs. The OEM key fob can unlock and lock the doors and it can set off an alarm with the panic button. Yet, when I asked the dealer how to upgrade that alarm they said that was not an option. :( Seems like the flick of a switch, a harness adjustment (jumper installed or removed), or some computer programming could have easily achieved the upgrade. Some one is missing something here and I don't believe it is me. :loco:

I have a 2009 LandCruiser which doesn't seem to work with the codes. However, you are one of the lucky people where the code is known, and proven to work.
If you want deg Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, try this set of codes and let us know if it works for you. The only change is the MTH values.

Thanks for that link. I checked it out and it seems the missing piece (at least for me) is my older firmware version. They claim the trans temp can be read if you have version 4.0 or later. I've got version 3.17. The tough pill to swallow is that they want $25.00 to upgrade the firmware. I already paid a premium for the gauge and I can't even tell you how p'd I be if it didn't work.

No not really. Besides I've had my SG for a couple of years now... so I wouldn't feel right even trying to return it.

#58 you missed my hint, Dinosaur. Here's what my friend in CO did today. Walked into AutoZone and confirmed return policy. He even got the guy to install it for him! Minutes later he's rocking on with tranny temp in his 09 Tacoma. Not Tundra but a good data point me thinks. Maybe your AZ dude won't install for you but you know it's wicked trivial. If it works, confirm the version. Sound like a plan? :) Dinosaur 11-10-2012, 11:56 PM The nearest AZ is in the "city" 1 1/2 hours away... however, I just happen to be heading that way tomorrow. :D

I know the 1999 Tacoma ECU will report the transmission temp via the ODBII port to a Scangauge II when you input the proper codes. I installed my Scangauge II reader into my neighbor's 1999 Tacoma 4WD auto and pulled up the transmission temps. So now I'm on a quest to see what it will take to pull the transmission temps from my T-100 ECU...or hook up a temperature reader (most likely thermistor...like a digital meat thermometer) to the sensor to read the temps." kanaduh 01-07-2013, 03:59 AM Here's the info on an upgrade, if you are running an older software version. http://www.scangauge.com/support/upgrade/ BamZipPow 01-09-2013, 10:01 AM Lizzard, Manuals online here Products : Linear Logic - Home of the ScanGauge (http://www.scangauge.com/products/).
Here's some info I just read.
"I've seen some interesting opinions about the transmission sensor is different between the year groups of those vehicles that can see the transmission temps and those that can't using the Xgauge setup. Well...I found out something interesting!

You know...that looks exactly like my post. ;)
Scangauge II Xgauge transmission temp code... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums (http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/79-1st-generation-1995-5-2004/391313-scangauge-ii-xgauge-transmission-temp-code.html#post3656675)
While it is possible to hook up another gauge to read the sensor directly, you would have to know the temp offset that the added sensor would add to the equation through measurement or by calculation...neither of which I have the skill sets fer. Also, I'm not sure how much it would mess up the ECU's calculation fer using that sensor. :( Has anyone confirmed those 05/06 codes listed above work?
Thanks. |
