My Second Scan Gauge II Question

[Gebo]

Trying to check the ATF level on my '23 GX460. For some reason, I can get all the parameters to show values except the TFT. Can't seem to
get to the fluid temp reading. Any ideas? I know I can call Scan Gauge tomorrow at 10 am. Just thinking one of you will know. I have 4 different settings for 2010+ Toyota/Lexus. One primary and 3 alternates. I have tried them all but to no avail. It has to be operator error.....

Are you sure your car has a sensor for that PID?

First, you have to program the ScanGauge 2 codes into the unit to access manufacturer specific Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensors. It is not hard, but a bit tedious. This video will guide you through the process, starting around the 9 minute mark.

I slowly worked it out. I just entered the 4 different codes and saved them under 4 different names. TF1, TF2, TF3 and TF4. Lo and behold. Only one worked. All is well. The 3rd alternate worked.
