Features FAQ

Frequently asked questions regarding the built-in features of the ScanGauge

What does the Cutoff function do?

Some vehicles will turn the fuel injectors off when coasting down. We sense this with the open/closed loop indicator and the throttle position. We have to know if the throttle is opened or closed but the minimum value for it is rarely 0. The Cutoff is the value the throttle has to be below in order to indicate a fuel cutoff and show 0 fuel flow.

The default is right for most vehicles, but it can be adjusted for different situations. If set to “0″ it disables this method of fuel cutoff sensing.

Can I use the ScanGauge II to save fuel?

If your car reports information on fuel consumption (99% of cars and light trucks do), and you use it to adjust your driving habits, you can save a lot of fuel.

Will the ScanGauge II be able to clear my trouble codes and turn off my “Check Engine” light?

The ScanGauge II will clear the codes and turn off the check engine light on 99% of 1996 and newer vehicles. It has been reported that it can not do this on some trouble codes in the Dodge vehicles.

If I purchase a new ScanGauge will it include the Add-A-Gauge and XGauge software?

Yes, any newly purchased ScanGauge will include the latest version of software including Add-A-Gauge and XGauge.
