Temp sensor test ( TEST )
This menu will allow you to check the resistance the control box is reading from the water
temp sensor. This can be used for a diagnostic tool if you are having trouble or feel that the
reading is incorrect. For the Dakota Digital SEN-04-5, the resistance decreases as temperature
increases. Typical values for the Dakota Digital SEN-04-5 sensor are:
100F = 500 ohms, 200F = 75 ohms, and 300F = 19 ohms
If the gauge reads “ EEE ” this is an open connection or no sensor connected. If it is reading “ -- ”
this is an indication of a short.
•
When “
TEST
” is displayed, press and hold SW1 until you get “ - ”.
•
Release SW1 and the current resistance from the temp sensor will be displayed on the
speedometer and “ R TEMP ” is displayed on the odometer readout.
•
Press and release SW1 to scroll through the next sensor input if you wish “ V OIL ” “ R
FUEL
”
“ R TEMP
”.

OIL PRESSURE SETUP
Dakota Digital only offers one pressure sensor for this system, SEN-03-8, 0-100 psi solid
state sensor with 1/8” NPT threads. This is the sender “
NORMAL
” selection. If “
BUS
” is selected
for the sender type, the oil pressure reading should be coming into the AUX I/O port through the
use of a BIM module. The oil pressure setup allows you to set up a low pressure warning point
that will cause the display to flash whenever the reading on the display is lower than the set
point. There is also a test mode that will display the voltage from the sensor for trouble shooting
assistance.
•
Press and hold SW1 while turning the key on.
