That's so cool! Thanks for the link. Its nice to get the insider view of it. And it sounds like the next one is going to be even better with more read outs! I hope they don't bump the price to high.

The only complaint I have of the ScanGauge II is that when the car is in DFCO mode (search this term if you don't know what it is), the ScanGuage II will not show GPH at zero. Anyone know otherwise?

![]() ![]() ![]() i found this: it did exist but not the way it was presented.. Deceleration fuel cut-off: "A device which stops the flow of fuel to the carburetor or injectors when the vehicle rapidly decelerates in the event of a crash thus preventing the possibility of a fire or explosion."

Marcus, read this Toyota white paper on ECU stuff, pluse DFCO too (page 11). It is this paper that suggest that our Yaris does in fact have DFCO....

The SGII cannot definitively show a DFCO mode because there are no OBDII codes for fuel injection. As such, each manufacturer makes their own codes, and as of today they are proprietary.
I'm not sure why anyone would doubt the existence of DFCO. It's not science fiction. It is documented in many places, and can be tested by any individual using what I outlined here. It's a simple concept, and whether a car has DFCO or not is highly obvious when the test I outlined is performed on a vehicle that doesn't have it (when I tried it on my rental Aveo (I can't believe GM actually produced this car... no thought, no soul, no reliability, CELs at the drop of a hat, etc...) its AT immediately went into a protective mode, and when I tried it on our old Tacoma it was like driving through a meter of water). There are even varying levels of DFCO. One of the rental cars I got stuck with when my Yaris' door was being repaired was a POS GMC Canyon pickup. It was a real PITA to drive down the mountain because (aside from handling like an overweight marshmallow that would understeer or oversteer but never rail a turn) it took like 3 or 4 seconds of engine braking to start DFCO, but only half of the 6 cylinders. Then, after 8 - 10 seconds more, it would shut the rest of them off. It made for some rather unpredictable but inevitable engine braking.

By the way, that POS Chevy Aveo is not made by Chevy....it's Korean (Kia or Hyundai)...it's a rebadged POS, for sure...it cost less then our Yaris, but the cost of ownership over 5 years is much more. A bit off topic, but what kind of oil do you run? What is your change intervals? Thanks! |

The SGII's GPH reading isn't done directly from a flow meter or anything. It is inferred by your RPM, speed, and air flow. This is why you still see ~0.2 GPH when in DFCO... that's the closest the SGII can get according to its internal math as you're still producing high RPM.
Check your PMs for my oil metrics. I don't want to derail this thread. ![]()

I bought the scangauge II and tried plugging it into my 2007 Yaris MT. I had the key ON and also tried with the engine running, but all i got was "Connecting...." and never quite connected. I would like to know if anyone has had this problem.
Thanks |

If it still doesn't work then I'd try completely disconnecting everything for an hour or so, then hooking it back up and immediately starting the engine. This will give it the best chance for making that initial connection. If it still doesn't work at that point you should take your car to a local shop and ask them to hook their reader up, just to see if theirs works or not. If it does you know you have a bad SGII and you can RMA it. If it doesn't you know you need to take the Yaris to the dealership to get the OBDII port working.
