Transmission temp with AE?
While waiting for my gauges I wanted to check the temp on my trans. The only setting I see on AE is for transmission fluid temperature but it is in volts...anyone know how to convert?

I have version 8 and only saw TFT volts in the drop down menu for my 2001. Just had AE hooked up on Saturday. Conversion chart that I have in my ATSG manual is from ohms to *F. I haven't checked my Ford dvd manual for V-*F conversion chart.

I think the AE just doesn't offer the proper conversion in its software. Just like there is coolant temp shown, but it doesn't read it properly. EOT reads fine.

I think it's the same type of 0-5V sending unit as any aftermarket electric temp gauge. I know I'm pulling my temp readings off the factory sender it's pretty accurate, within 5 degrees.
As for AE, couldn't say if it converts to give a temperature reading, never used it before.

Coolant temps are different -- the PCM doesn't even read them on autos. It reads fine on manuals. ScanGauge shows a number, but it's bogus.

I could only read EOT, not coolent temp or trans temp.

Roland, my #3 injector is now reading 1.4 and #8 is around 7.5 . Seems to be getting better sense I changed the CPS.

I was working on a friend's '02 this afternoon and found that I could read TFT on it. I hooked back up to my truck and configured for an '01 and the option was available on th drop down menu. I guess I may have just overlooked it the other day. Reads the TFT fine.
