Gauge Abbreviations
The following table shows what the gauge names. In some cases, the unit selections made in the
Basic Setup Parameters (see page 12) will determine the gauge abbreviations.
The information available will vary from vehicle to vehicle. If the information is not available for a
certain gauge, no data will be shown for it. If the same gauge is selected for more than one position,
only one of them will show data (if it is available). The other positions will show the abbreviation, but
no data.

Description
This indicates when the oxygen sensor is being used to con-
trol the mixture (closed-loop) and when it is not (open-loop).
It is usually closed except when the engine is cold or under
full throttle acceleration.
This indicates the pressure in the intake manifold. It is
reported in Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) by default but can
be changed to kilo-pascals (KPA) if desired.
If the engine is turbocharged or supercharged, you can set
ScanGauge to calculate and display this gauge as Boost
(BST) through the Advanced Setup parameters
(see page 15)
Instant fuel economy is updated about every 2 seconds at
the NORMAL update rate . Small changes in throttle position
or load while driving will show almost immediate changes
in this gauge.
Speed in the units selected
The RPM of the engine
In some vehicles, a closed throttle will read 0 and full throttle
will read 100. Other vehicles will have a higher value than 0
for a closed throttle and a full throttle value less than 100.
Water/Coolant temperature
A vehicle with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water will not boil
over until about 265˚ F at sea level. This will be reduced at
higher elevations.
This is the current average fuel economy and is updated
about every 2 seconds (normal rate).
This is the total fuel cost for the current trip.
