DashHawk - Temp readings?
« on: June 30, 2009, 12:28:54 AM »
Been playing with the DashHawk and noticed there are several temps for engine oil or oil temp.  Played with them so that they were displayed at the same time and one was normal around 195*-208* but one was really high like 348*.  Is that temp reading accurate and if so where is it reading that high of a temp? Comming out of the turbo lubrication system?
Thanks

I noticed that as well, but the difference wasn't as great on mine, do you have an auto?  could be trans temp if you do.   Time to dig into the manual.

Yeah it's an auto.
I don't think it's trans temp.  If your trans temp is getting that high your fluid would be toast.

Looks like a false temp reading since when I started the vehicle today it read 222.8* and the real temp was 78.8*.  On my unit there is exactly a 144* difference between the two.

Been playing with the DashHawk and noticed there are several temps for engine oil or oil temp. 

Which ones exactly did you ask for?  Is one in the generic list and one in the GM specific list?

Just playing with it to see which one/s would work and it was under the GM Specific list. 
There is actually 3 engine oil temp listings and only one works Engine Oil Temp.  The other is engine oil temp 2 which gives the false reading and engine oil temp 3 gives a NA reading on the DH.
