williaty Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I've seen a couple of you guys talk about your tranny temperature. How are you guys reading it? The Launch scan tool that I have from when I had my business won't pull it up. Will a Scangauge? Ideally, I'd like something that I can have on the dash full-time while I'm towing, not a laptop-based solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty150 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 ScanGauge is a little outdated. It should still work though. I installed a ScanGauge in my pickup about 15 years ago. And even back then, with that version of ScanGauge, I was able to read Ford transmission temperature. I'm also using Forscan.

But if you are doing other things with your phone, I get it. You don't want to have to keep playing with the phone screen to switch between apps. I use Forscan with an Amazon Fire tablet, and an OBD II plug in device. I bought the smallest, least expensive tablet, and it mounts on the dash with a cell phone holder.
