 ScanGaugeII makes diagnostics easy. View Larger |
The ScanGaugeII includes a diagnostic scan tool that can check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clear the codes, and turn off the "Check Engine" light on 99% of 1996 and newer vehicles. (However, this feature may not work on some trouble codes in Dodge vehicles.) If any DTCs are found, the ScanGauge will show how many there are as well as the codes themselves. Then you can use the Internet or repair manual to find out which is the failed part is, so you can repair it yourself or know what needs to be fixed at the mechanic's shop.
Multifunction Trip Computer
Four sets of data are automatically recorded on the trip computer: Current, Today, Previous Day, and Tank Trip. The "current" trip restarts after the engine has been off for more than 3 minutes. The "today" trip restarts after the vehicle has not moved for 9 hours, and the data from "today" is moved to "previous day" when you restart the car, so you don't have to reset the computer every time you begin a trip. "Tank trip" resets when you fill up the tank. It can provide you with "to empty" data and other useful information, which can be viewed any time during the trip. The trip computer also integrates information from the Cost Per Mile gauge. Simply enter how much you paid per gallon or liter of fuel, and the ScanGauge will automatically calculate the cost of your trips as you drive. The ScanGaugeII features 12 individually stored parameters, including:

A large, high-contrast LCD display makes viewing the information easy, and both the display and keys are backlit and can be set to off, low, or high. With 63 possible colors, user settings, tank trip data, and vehicle settings that are automatically saved, and up to 10 user commands that can be stored and recalled, the ScanGaugeII can be easily customized to suit your needs.

- Awesome ProductThis is a really great product. It does everything you want it to do. You just plug it in and start using it. Then you read the extremely clear instructions and learn how to fine tune it for your vehicle so it is spot on accurate. This is one of the best products I have bought in a long time.

- Doesn't like cold weatherBought his product in mid-December and hooked it up for a long winter vacation trip. Fast data rate does not work with my car (2001 Ford Crown Victoria), but Normal does, which updates about every two seconds.
Setup is easy and installation with velcro strips easy and pretty secure on my dashboard. However, its performance and reliability leaves a lot to be desired.
During our 6-day trip we had temperatures in the 5 - 15 F range and the Scangauge II was very unreliable until ... Read More

- Inaccurate, unreliableThe numbers this thing was showing for my 4 cylinder car were more like V8 numbers, and I did setup the system as a 4 cyl. After about 1 week, I noticed the unit started shutting off after a little bit into a trip. This makes it not very useful at all.

- Scanguage IISimple installation, provides more info than needed, but simple to set up to see what you want. Performs as advertised and makes me concious of how I can conserve fuel - even at the current $1.40 price... Simple to move from car to car. More contrast in the display would be the only improvement I would suggest.

- Works as advertised.This works just great.
I don't know why the auto manufacturers do not include this type of gauge with all cars they make.
