Digital Gauge |
Name |
Description |
CLSD LP
OPEN LP |
Fuel System Loop Status |
This indicates when the oxygen sensor is being used to control 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. |
MAP
BST |
Manifold Absolute Pressure
Boost |
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 ScanGaugeII to calculate and display this gauge as Boost (BST) through the Advanced Setup parameters |

KPL |
Miles Per Gallon
Kilomteres Per Gallon
Miles Per Liter
Liters Per 100Km
Kilomteres Per Liter |
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. |
MPH
KPH |
Miles Per Hour
Kilometers Per Hour |
Speed in the units selected |
RPM |
Revolutions Per Minute |
The RPM of the engine |
TPS |
Throttle Position Sensor |
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. |
FWT
CWT |
Water Temperature |
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. |
AVG |
Average Fuel Economy |
This is the current average fuel economy and is updated about every 2 seconds (normal rate). |
TFC |
Trip Fuel Cost |
This is the total fuel cost for the current trip. |
CPM |
Cost Per Mile |
Cost of fuel per mile at this time |
VLT |
Battery Voltage |
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. |
FIA
CIA |
Intake Air Temperature |
Temperature of the air going into the engine. At motorway 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. |
FPR |
Fuel Pressure |
This is the fuel pressure from the fuel pump. Very few vehicles report this. |
GPH
LPH |
Gallons Per Hour
Liters Per Hour |
Fuel consumption rate in the selected units. This is sensitive to throttle, gear and loading changes. |
IGN |
Ignition Timing |
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. |
LOD |
Engine Loading |
This is a percentage of the maximum power available currently being generated. In some vehicles it is the maximum available at the present RPM. |
HP |
Horsepower |
Displays the calculated Horsepower your vehicle is currently making. This value can be adjusted for accuracy through the Advanced Setup parameters |
TFT |
Transmission Fluid
Temperature |
Not all vehicles report TFT. In some cases where TFT is not reported, you may be able to implement this gauge through the programmable X-Gauge system. |
