LHK
Liters per Hundred Kilometers (LHK) is a popular way to
express fuel economy in Europe.
By default, ScanGauge will express fuel economy in
LHK, provided you have set fuel to LITERS and distance
to KILOMETERS as outlined in the Basic Setup procedure (see page 12).
If you would prefer fuel economy to be express as Kilomiter Per Liter (KPL), set the LHK parameter to
OFF. With LHK set to OFF, and fuel and distance set to LITERS and KILOMETERS, the ScanGauge will
now express fuel economy in Kilometers Per Liter (KPL).
IMPORTANT: Lower LHK values represent a higher fuel economy, unlike KPL
where a higher number represents higher fuel economy.
DTC
Some vehicles may not respond properly when
attempting to retrieve or clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC). By default, this parameter is set to NORMAL. If
you experience trouble, set this parameter to ALT.
Set the Sleep Event
By default, the ScanGauge will shut down when it sees 0
RPM. This may not be the desired setting if your vehicle
is a Hybrid, which will report 0 RPM when the vehicle
is stopped. When you select HYBRID in the fuel type
(TYPE) parameter in the Basic Setup procedure (see page 11), ScanGauge will automatically set the
Sleep Event parameter to NO COM.
When using ScanGauge with the Sleep Event parameter set to NO COM, there is a small risk that the
vehicle's ECU and ScanGauge will stay on and drain the battery. You must be sure the ScanGauge goes
to sleep properly when the engine is turned off.
Set a Horsepower Adjustment
ScanGauge reports Horsepower (HP) as a built-in digital
gauge. This parameter allows you to make adjustments
to the HP reading ScanGauge reports.
Set the Manifold Pressure Method
If your vehicle is equipped with a turbocharger or
supercharger, you may want your vehicle's manifold
pressure calculated and reported as Boost (BST)
as opposed to Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP). This parameter allows you choose the method
ScanGauge should use to calculate and display manifold pressure.
