Reading from your obd port for trans will read higher than aftermarket gauge acording to some sponsors.

To make sure they oscillate like they should.

I dont really know what wire your talking about. Mine was plug in the obd and good to go.

I guess thats why I didnt have to do this.

These are the instructions I found off of another site.. It's talking about extra wires to hook up from 0-5 volt sources for other parameters and also that center red wire for a possible switch power because the obd2 port has power to it at all times? I don't really know.. if anyone else has experience with this, please chime in!

Mine is not powered on all the time. Only when ignition is on. I dont have any wires to hook up just the obd plug.

hmm okay I wonder what years require the extra wire.. seems like 98 def does, and 2001 doesn't. I have a 2000 if anybody happens to know when they changed it?

For the guys who need to wire a power up, where did you wire it to? Do I need to run a ground as well?

just wanted to bump this up...

i have my gauge all set up but sometimes it doesnt turn on when i turn the ignition or car on. could this be because i have a 98 and have to hard wire it? its currently just plugged into the obd port and reads everything

I've had mine for over 5 years and it has been in 2 different cars. Great guys to deal with also, I had it reflashed to work with my SS after I sold the car it was originally in.

I'm currently scanning KR and coolant temp.

If the gausge does not lower up from obd2 port u will then need to use other wires on back if gauge to power it.

I prefer my Scan Gauge II. Displays 4 gauges at a time, can program in more, records performance times, tracks fuel milage, resets and reads engine codes, and has a color changing display that is easy to read. Just my two cents. I also love that I can see the transmission temperatures and never has to install anything extra to do it.
