Gauge Abbreviations
The following table shows what the gauge names. In some cases, the unit selections made in the
Basic Setup Parameters (see page 12) will determine the gauge abbreviations.
The information available will vary from vehicle to vehicle. If the information is not available for a
certain gauge, no data will be shown for it. If the same gauge is selected for more than one position,
only one of them will show data (if it is available). The other positions will show the abbreviation, but
no data.
Gauge Name Description
CLSD LP
OPEN LP
Fuel System Loop Status This indicates when the oxygen sensor is being used to con-
trol the mixture (closed-loop) and when it is not (open-loop).
It is usually closed except when the engine is cold or under
full throttle acceleration.
MAP
BST
Manifold Absolute Pressure
Boost
This indicates the pressure in the intake manifold. It is
reported in Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) by default but can
be changed to kilo-pascals (KPA) if desired.
If the engine is turbocharged or supercharged, you can set
ScanGauge to calculate and display this gauge as Boost
(BST) through the Advanced Setup parameters
(see page 15)
