Low Cost Automotive Scan Gauge

Nov 27, 2009 2 Replies

I have recently built a low-cost Scan Gauge for my vehicle. I am going to build up some additional units to sell, if anyone's interested. I will be selling them (initially) for $95.



I don't know if this would be interesting/useful for anyone here, but I have some further information on this page:

Is this a read-only tool, or can you push values into the various inputs (open EVAP solenoids, fire injectors, etc.)?

I went to the site and looked at it. It's a CAN ONLY tool. NOT Generic OBD II It does NOT display trouble codes. NO bi-directional control Reads only ECM data.

So you could watch IAT, ECT, EOT, MAF, MAF, TPI, Engine Load %, Vehicle Speed, RPM, Fuel Level, Battery Voltage,

And for an extra 30 bucks you could have 2 more PID inputs displayed as long as they conform to SAE J1979
