Add Custom Gauges
The ScanGauge features the exclusive X-GAUGE™
programmable gauge system allowing you to add custom,
vehicle specific gauges to the digital gauge set.
For an overview of the X-GAUGE™ system, see page 37. For an up-to-date list of known X-GAUGE™ codes, visit us

Description
Normal running battery voltage is between 13 and 15. When
the engine is off it should be between 11 and 13. Voltages
higher than 15 volts can damage batteries and electrical
components. Voltages below 13 when the vehicle is running
could indicate poor charging of the battery. Voltage below 11
when the engine is off could indicate a low battery charge or
a shorted battery cell.
Temperature of the air going into the engine. At highway
speeds, this will typically be a few degrees higher than the
outside air temperature. At idle or low speed, it may be
much higher in temperature than the outside temperature
due to the low airflow into the engine and the high under-
hood temperatures warming it up.
This is the fuel pressure from the fuel pump. Very few
vehicles report this.
Fuel consumption rate in the selected units. This is sensitive
to throttle, gear and loading changes.
Shows the amount of timing advance (or retard). The more
advance there is (or less retard), the better for fuel economy
and power. The limit is set by the octane of the fuel, the
intake air temperature, and the load on the engine. A lower
than normal amount of advance for similar temperature and
speed could indicate too low an octane of fuel is being used.
This is a percentage of the maximum power available cur-
rently being generated. In some vehicles it is the maximum
available at the present RPM.
Displays the calculated Horsepower your vehicle is currently
making. This value can be adjusted for accuracy through the
Advanced Setup parameters (see page 17).
Not all vehicles report TFT. In some cases where TFT is not
reported, you may be able to implement this gauge through
the X-GAUGE programmable gauge system. Check online
at www.ScanGauge.com/support for your specific vehicle.
