This location also will not block the use of a windshield sun-shade. WARNING: Do not leave UltraGauge unattended and exposed to extreme dash temperatures on hot days. Damage to the LCD can occur. Remove UltraGauge from the dash when leaving the vehicle or use a sunshade protector. - Page 11 4. Once the OBD-II connector is located, route the OBD-II cable so that it does not block or interfere with foot controls. The UltraGauge connector is a right-angle connector. This design limits the connector from protruding into the foot controls area.
-
Page 12: Start-Up & Configuration
& & When UltraGauge is first attached to the vehicle’s OBD-II connector it is immediately powered, as the vehicle’s OBD-II connector is always powered. Once connected UltraGauge will begin scanning the interface to determine the vehicle’s protocol. The vehicles ignition must be in the RUN position in order for UltraGauge to communicate with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Module (ECM). -
Page 13: Other Setup Considerations
There are two “ignition on” detection modes. When the ignition is switched to OFF, UltraGauge enters a low power mode where the display is powered off. When the ignition is switched from OFF to RUN, UltraGauge will detect this in 1-6 seconds and power back on. - Page 14 If you wish to move UltraGauge to another vehicle to use the trouble code functions, this can be done with no regard to configuration or calibration. The only exceptions are if force protocol has been set or 9141 optimization has been executed. These configuration items will need to be reset prior to moving to a different vehicle.

Page 30: Volumetric Efficiency % (Map Vehicles Only)
Volumetric efficiency is a measure of how fully your vehicle can fill its cylinders with the fuel/air mixture on the intake stroke. For example, a vehicle with a VE of 50% is able to fill its cylinder with 50% of it potential. UltraGauge uses several engine sensors to determine the VE dynamically. -

Normally Fuel Fill up or Partial Tank Fill up will be used to set the fuel in the tank. Note that once initiated it starts the process which completes after a several seconds once the menu is exited. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 35/55 UltraGauge™ EM User Manual www.ultra-gauge.com... -
Page 36: Vehicle Setup
Vehicle Setup .. Calibration.. Calibrate MPG/Fuel This calibration is used to fine-tune UltraGauge to accurately measure fuel usage. This calibration is critical, especially for vehicles which use a MAP sensor, diesels and alternative fuels. For vehicles that use a MAP sensor*, see the menu section on Adaptive Volumetric Efficiency before proceeding. -
Page 37: Reset Mpg/Fuel Cal
If you chose to travel several mile markers, then enter in the number of miles actually driven, for example, 3.000 miles. NOTE: Unplugging UltraGauge after calibration will not cause loss of calibration. NOTE: Using the vehicle’s odometer to perform this calibration is pointless since the odometer and UltraGauge receive distance information from the same source; the vehicle’s ECM. -
Page 38: Ve Enable (Map Only)
If after calibration, it is found that the MPG results are still not accurate enough, the VE RPM value can be further adjusted. If UltraGauge reports less fuel used than actual, reduce the VE RPM by 200 and repeat Calibration. Likewise, if UltraGauge reports more fuel used than actual, increase the VE RPM by 200. -
Page 39: Force Protocol
Prevents UltraGauge from searching for the protocol used by the Vehicles Electronic Control Module (ECM). Normally UltraGauge tries each of the five interfaces and protocols until it discovers the protocol used by the ECM. Each vehicle should only support a single protocol. After the initial Scan, UltraGauge will not Scan the interface for the protocol again unless UltraGauge is unplugged. -
Page 40: Ultragauge Setup
Protocol found during the scanning process UltraGauge comes with free minor updates for one year. However, it is necessary to ship your unit in for the update, as it is not field updateable. Update information, if any, will be posted on the support page of the Ultra-Gauge.com website. All transportation costs are the responsibility of the user. -
Page 41: Power On Detect Delay
NOTE: If the ignition is placed in the RUN position and UltraGauge fails to exit low power mode, pressing UP will exit the low power mode. If the ignition is off, pressing UP, will cause it to exit the low power mode and then immediately reenter low power mode. -
Page 42: Kwp/9141 Optimize
Setting the “Pwr off Detect mode” to a value other than 0, may also increase KWP/9141 performance. NOTE: If UltraGauge is moved to another KWP/9141 vehicle, it will be necessary to run the optimizer on the new vehicle. It is advisable that the value be set to 100 prior to moving UltraGauge to the new KWP/9141 vehicle. -
Page 43: Injector Cutoff
This is true for vehicles with either manual or automatic transmissions. The fuel savings is slight, but over time and distance could become significant. UltraGauge can detect when the injectors are switched off and factor the fuel savings into the fuel usage and mileage calculations. -
Page 44: Display Settings
0% Brightness The sensitivity to the Ambient light can be adjusted via the Ambient Sensitivity menu setting. This setting allows UltraGauge to better adjust the Backlight brightness depending on the Vehicle’s ambient light. For example, vehicles with tinted windows or with smaller windows will have overall lower light levels and an increase in sensitivity would be recommended. -
Page 45: Backlite Max Brightness
Vehicles with tinted, smaller or fewer windows will have lesser ambient light levels. This setting allows UltraGauge to be tailored to your vehicle’s light levels. This setting has a range of from 0-100, with 100 being the most sensitive. -
Page 46: Alarms
Each gauge can have a high and low alarm. Each Low and High Alarm can individually be enabled and the value of each high and low alarm threshold can be individually set. UltraGauge continually compares real-time gauge values to each of the alarm values. If the real-time value is greater than the high alarm or less than the low alarm, an alarm is initiated. -
