Resetting Current Trip Data

The Current Trip data is automatically reset after

about 3 minutes of the ScanGauge being asleep —

generally after the vehicle has been shut off. When

this happens, the data stored in the Current Trip will

automatically be transferred to the Today’s Trip.

You can reset the trip data at any time for the Current Trip computers. To reset trip data, simply press

the function button next to RESET as shown in the example above.

Today’s Trip Data

Notice that there is no RESET for TODAY. The

Today Trip will automatically reset after the engine

has been off for 8 to 10 hours (as when sitting

overnight). The values for TODAY will be transferred

to the Previous Day’s Trip and the values that were

in Previous Day’s Trip are thrown out.

The asterisk (*) in the lower right corner indicates that the ScanGauge was disconnected for at least

part of the day and the data may not be complete. This will be transferred to the Previous Day’s Trip

along with the data.

If the vehicle is driven early in the morning and then not again until late that evening, the

data will be transferred to the previous day. If the vehicle is driven until late at night and

then used again very early in the morning, the data will stay in the Today’s Trip. The end

of the Today’s Trip requires the vehicle be off, the ScanGauge connected, and the vehicle

not driven for 8 to 10 hours.

Fuel-based Trip Computers

The Tank Trip (TANK) and To Empty (TANK TO EMPTY) trip computers can tell you much about the

current tank of fuel. For instance, you can learn how much fuel you have used and how far you have

traveled since your last fill-up, or how much fuel you have left and the approximate distance you can

travel before needing to fill up.

For ScanGauge to maintain accurate Tank Trip information, you must first calibrate your

ScanGauge using the procedure outlined in Calibrating Your ScanGauge (page 20) and

follow the Fill-up Procedure outlined in the Filling Up Your Tank section on page 31, for

each subsequent refueling.
