Re: I got my Scan Gauge yesterday!!
Copied from CMPG:
Congratulations Debbie
Still have my old one waiting for the new interface to come out to buy the new style. Their 4 months late now and I’m wondering if they gave up on it. Anyone heard anything?
What I did when I first got mine was plug it in and wrap the cord around the steering shaft 2 times and temporally put it on the dash (velcro) over the navi. You might want to try it in a few places before mounting it in a final location.
Go to set-up to set the engine size, tank size (I use 15 gallons), type of fuel (select Hybrid), and set the system to CAN Bus and high speed if I remember right. You might want to keep it on the 4 gauge display to get a feel for instant MPG, coolant temp, engine load (you can see at 99% load the electric motor assist after warm-up) and I’d try open loop for starters. Always reset the tank refill after fill-up and press “Done”. The mileage trip automatically starts with a new current trip MPG average after a few minutes from a shutdown. The next screen automatically keeps your today average MPG. Same thing with previous day MPG average and the next push of the button shows your tank MPG average from the time you pressed reset refill. Your going to love the Trip information once you start understanding the SG.
You will now understand a lot more about improving FE and what’s bad for FE.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
