Live Data Meter
The Live Data Meter gives you the ability to watch several
sensors report from the vehicle. In the case that your vehicle
reported a DTC and set the MIL, you’ll want to use the DTC
description to determine what sensors to watch. Sensors might also
help you determine if a new component (i.e., free-flow exhaust or
intake) is performing better than stock. The sensors your vehicle
reports provide a wealth of information for both the mechanic and
the tuner.
The number of sensors that you can view is determined by the
vehicle make, model, and year. Typically, the newer the vehicle the
more sensors it supports. Also, some sensors take longer to report
back to the ScanTool (i.e., Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure) and
will update slower. In the case of ISO 9141-2, four to six sensors is
probably the most you’ll want to have listed at one time.
To add a sensor to the Meter, select the a sensor from the
meter’s respective drop-down list.
