Scanguage II

[tubaexplorer]

Got a couple questions about this product before I buy it.
1. Can it callibrate my speedo?
2. What else can it do ex. Horsepower, gas mileage, etc.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I'm not sure about the speedo calibration, but here is a link describing my install and some of the Scanguage II features.

So it's moRe of a monitor than programer?

Exactly, it's more for monitoring. Remember, the scanguage is just an OBDII interface, so you can pull and clear engine codes, as well as some more advanced monitoring functions like miles per gallon, voltage, rpm, etc.

There are some other cool features you can enable with the xgauge expanding code set. I'd recommend the scangauge, but it might not be the tool you're looking for if you want to edit or calibrate

Precisely. That's reflected in the price vis a vis programmers like the Xcalibrator line by SCT. I use both and both have a useful purpose, but the only process that really overlaps is clearing codes.

If you do decide to get one, do a google search for "blendmount"....it allows you to mount it underneath your rearview mirror and you get a discount if you buy both the scanguage and the blendmount kit from the same site.

so the Xcalibrator line by SCT will it adjust my gauges? the 11hp sounds nice I'm planning on buying the KKM intake to go with the magnaflow exhaust setup.

Yes. It's good. A lot of us on this site use SCT products.

Contact James at hensonperformance.com. He's a SCT dealer, a forum regular (and sponsor), and great guy to boot.

Just wanted to shoot an update to everyone, I had an issue with my ScangaugeII in the cold weather (temps under 40 wouldn't turn on). After researching a little bit I found this thread in another section of explorerforum

Seems like a couple other guys were having the same issue, and contacted Linear Logic where they narrowed it down to a Ford specific component issue.

Hi Everyone,

If you are having issues still in the cold please contact me at joey.snyder@linear-logic.com and we will get your unit switched out for a brand new one with a pre-paid return label to send us back the non-working one.

We discovered that a wrong component was put on the circuit board that wasn't working in the cold, or hot in some cases. Unfortunately this was only affecting Ford vehicles which made it harder to figure out.

I contacted Linear Logic and they sent me out a new unit with "Ford Specific" components to fix the issue. So far so good, it's getting a little warmer now, but it's still sub 40 in the mornings, every start of the sport trac the ScangaugeII has turned on and stayed on! It's running code rev: 4.02

I've been very impressed with the ScangaugeII product and even more satisfied with the Linear Logic customer support. Can't recommend the product enough!
