Engine Coolant Temp
I installed a ScanGauge II a week ago and after a 30 mile drive the ECT would not get above 165* Outside air temp at 40*F I'am using the X-Gauge code below, correct me please if this is wrong.
C410F1221139 TXD
046205110639 RXF
3008 RXD
00010002007F MTH
Also what Engine oil temps are you ScanGauge users seeing?
Thanks to all & Happy New Year

AE reads my coolant temp within a couple of degrees of my aftermarket coolant temp gauge. Maybe you have a bad coolant temp sensor.

Are these numbers accurate?

This post is for the scan gauge I linked and it says the gauge can't monitor ect since the PCM doesn't monitor coolant temps. Wouldn't this be the same as the AE. Scan gauge seems to offer a probe to install to use along with the gauge though. Not arguing the point just trying to clear up what I've seen on my AE. I've seen the coolant in the 350deg range but the gauge be sitting in the norm.

I have the Edge Insight monitor and it will only monitor the EOT and the TFT - no coolant temperature.
My EOT runs between 185 - 200 without towing after it has warmed up real good.
My TFT will run around 165 without towing. I have a rebuilt tranny with a triple clutch and some other upgrades, etc.
I do not see why you could not monitor coolant temps since there is a coolant 'switch' to show if it is running hot. I'm sure it was a decision by Ford to install a coolant sensor, but not have the PCM or whatever set up for it to be monitored by diagnostic equipment.
Oh well, life is still good.
