Scangauge II transmission temperature

[oceansrealm]

So I bought a scangauge II in the hopes of monitoring my transmission temperature.

I have a 2000 EB-50, V10. Have any of you programmed the X-gauge function to read tranny temp?

I looked at the scangauge manual, and it seems there are a number of inputs at several stages of the setup. However, I have no idea what to input. The scangauge manual seems a bit cryptic on this issue.

I did speak to the lead tech at the dealership before I bought the gauge and he said that the tranny temp is an output available via the OBDII port, so I just need to figure out how to configure the input.

I have the Haynes manual for this van, but it does not detail trouble codes. Does anyone have a decent source for those?

found the input parameters on their website.

Mine works fine, but it took a call to Scanguage. They are very helpful and will pick right up.

Generally there's much more information on the scan gauge web site than in the manual. And yes, I'm reading transmission temperature on a 4r100 (with the v10) via the x-gauge. Since the process seemed error prone, I punched it in twice, and made sure the two gauges agreed before deleting the redundant one.

Just to add another "yep." I have the 5.4 V-8 and had programmed my Scangauge to read TFT. I then programmed a friend's for his V-10, and noticed they share the same codes (meaning, the series of numbers, etc. you enter).

I got them from the website (plus a few others, but TFT is the one I really wanted).
