I've been in communications with UG and I was told, no surprise, that our 3rd gens use the 9141 protocol and that manufacturer gauges such as trans temp are not available via the 9141 protocol. Only OBDII standardized gauges are available for us, so I was told...
So, I responded that a few of us on this forum have had success in getting tranny temps with the Blue and MX options. I heard back that "there are a few codes running around out there that actually read the coolant temp and not the trans temp", thus my above ask.
Since

is about to make a UG purchase, this might interest him too...
EDIT/ADD - Geez, you have an external tranny cooler, bypassed, with different readings for sure. Nevermind. |
Before I did my 5-speed swap I was reading the Transmission Temps through my UG MX. The temps on my gauge were definitely NOT coolant temps (not only because I had the coolant temp displayed right next to the tranny temp) cause my tranny temps would spike when expected (up-shifting and down-shifting constantly up hills) and drop and stabilize when switching OD off. The tranny temp readings I saw were always about what I expected given the scenario.
I did NOT have an external tranny cooler by the way.
