Thread: ScanGauge II & Transmission Temp?

Mmmm given the previous posts here are you sure that you have transmission temp? Seems like so far no one has actually cracked the tranny temp. Are there any temp sensors in these things?

Well I went out and plugged it in as I was sure it did, it also read a different temp to the water temp. My wife had come home about an hour before and the trans oil temp had risen to 60 when I got the car back in the garage.

Yep....it's reads the tranny temp on the fly.

Brett....

A different approach, my TM4 reads directly from the engine and gear box metal, to get the temp, not the ODBII

Torque Pro with the Torque Scan plug in even on the basic scan brings up heaps of PID's almost too many to digest, let alone the full scan which would most likely fail as it would take hours to run.
The other issue is that the option of the Scan plugin to email the result does not work, the results are too long to scroll down and screenshot each view.

I have friends with Toyota FJ Cruisers who have entered a custom equation into Torque Pro to show Transmission temp.
It's a bugger we just need to find the PID required.
I havn't given up yet.

This is more to do with scangauge may be of interest to some?
I see between 65 and 85 city use in the work ute (2014 dmax) and towing 3t van can get to 105 and the coolant has been at 108...😮
The scangauge os a very useful bit of kit i find.

From my OBDII research some time ago I suspect it would be the same PID,

Glad you are getting use out of it Justin. They are great.

So towing a 2 tonn dual axle boat today with car full of peops and 31 degrees outside the 4.6 was 88-90 on the highway and 85-88 typically tooling around backstreets. Highest eas 91 for a couple of second laboring it up a long steep rise. Cooler than stock thermostat. Cheers
