Scan gauge acting funny - Toyota Yaris Forums

jambo101 · 07-11-2011, 10:50 AM

After driving 100 miles yesterday i noticed my SG was off, so hit the more button and it came back on but there were no values beside the chosen gauges

then after about 15 seconds it turned off again and turned back on again after another 15 seconds and all the way home it maintained an on off sequence every 15 seconds all the while showing no values for the designated gauges..is it kaput?seems like it needs a reboot or something..

You checked the connection at the OBDII port, of course. Occasionally I accidentally kick mine out of place a bit.

Also did you check the fuse for the data link connector?

Did check connections and they see normal, i'd assume if the fuse blew it wouldnt turn on at all, where is that fuse? just in case i need to check it in the future..
24 hours later drove the car for an hour today and everything seemed back to normal however it did go dark screen once,pushing the more button got it back on and running normally..,
