CANSF »

The CANSF protocol started being used in 2003 by a small number of vehicles. From 2003 to 2008 the CANSF protocol became more prevalent. Finally in 2008, all vehicles originally sold in the US or Canada were required to use the CANSF protocol. You can find out what protocol your vehicle is running with the ScanGauge by pressing MORE > MORE > MODE. Some sensors may not be reported by the vehicle. If you try all available XGauges for a certain sensor and it doesn’t report any data then the sensor is most likely not supported by the vehicle.

The CANLF protocol is used predominantly by Honda/Acura vehicles. Honda/Acura began using CANLF in select vehicles in 2006. By 2008 all Honda/Acura vehicles used the CANLF protocol. Fiat vehicles also typically use the CANLF protocol, and some Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep also began using the CANLF protocol starting in 2012. You can find out what protocol your vehicle is running with the ScanGauge by pressing MORE > MORE > MODE. Some sensors may not be reported by the vehicle. If you try all available XGauges for a certain sensor and it doesn’t report any data then the sensor is most likely not supported by the vehicle.
