My ScanGauge will shutdown while driving in my Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep

Some Dodge/Chrysler/Jeeps are sensitive about how fast/slow information is requested from the ECU. If it’s too fast/slow the ECU will sometimes stop responding to the ScanGauge’s requests for information, so the ScanGauge thinks the vehicle is no longer running and turns off to save power. Setting the update rate on the ScanGauge to Fast or [...]

Finding Incomplete OBDII Tests

By ScanGauge | Published: April 6, 2011

Some states are now using the OBDII connector for emissions testing. The good news is that if the vehicle has completed testing its emissions systems since the last time the battery was disconnected or the trouble codes reset, the test takes only seconds to pass. The bad news is if it hasn’t completed them the vehicle may not be passed. If you see "—Ready—" in the second line after pressing SCAN, all the tests have been run and there are no trouble codes. You are ready to pass the emissions check. If you see "-Not Ready-", some tests haven’t been run. Even though there are no trouble codes, you may still fail emissions because some required tests have not been completed.
