[3bears]

so can a scan gauge tell the trans temp also or be programmed to do so since our computers can read it I think, since we have a warning light on dash, something is reading it

Scangauges can read trans temps depending on the year of your 4runner. 99+ will work but 96-98 will not

A search of the forum would yield about 10+ threads on exactly this topic (which came up when I was looking up IACV programming info). But yeah 99+ only for trans temp.

I need to get better at search, because I did try searching trans temp and scangauge and came up with links that did not take me there. Of course, that was long before coffee
so I apologize
and thank you for the link and information

Your scangauge will also have to have the correct version of programming on it. I don't recall what version it is, but other threads have this info. Scangauge will program it for you for free if it doesn't.

its a scangauge 2
did not know they were programed for individual cars if im reading your post correct

 

[csp]

No, they are not programmed for individual cars. It's the software version that the gauge is running on. Like Windows 8 vs Windows XP, for example, and I am talking about the SG2.

I find best search results come from googling "3rd gen 4runner .... whatever topic or question" instead of searching within the forum.
