Name
: Friendly vehicle name used when connected to this vehicle
Year:
Model year of the vehicle. This may or may not be the purchase year of the vehicle. Used by UltraGauge
when determining custom Mgauges, which may be supported for this vehicle.
VIN:
Vehicle Identification Number. UltraGauge will attempt to read the VIN from the vehicle. Some older
vehicles do not support reading of the VIN via the OBDII connector. For best results, make sure that the proper
VIN is recorded here. A valid VIN must be specified in order to store/retrieve information to/from the Internet.
Used by UltraGauge when determining custom Mgauges which may be supported for this vehicle.
Make:
Vehicle manufacturer name (i.e. Ford, Toyota, …).
Used by UltraGauge when determining Mcustom
gauges which may be supported for this vehicle.
Model:
Vehicle model name (i.e. Taurus, Tacoma, …). Used by UltraGauge when determining Mcustom gauges
which may be supported for this vehicle.
Torque:
Torque in Newton-meters. This is used when computing the Brake 1, Brake 2, Torque 1, and Torque 2
gauges.
Engine Size:
Engine size in liters. This is only important for vehicles that do not have a Mass Air Flow Sensor
(MAF). For these vehicles, it is imperative that the engine size be set, otherwise the Mileage Gauges will be
inaccurate. The MPG calculation and calibration is also dependent on this setting.
Often the vehicle manufacturer will round the engine size to the nearest tenth for badging and labeling. For
example, 5.56L becomes 5.6L. Check the specifications section of the vehicle’s owner manual for actual engine
size. Used by UltraGauge when determining custom Mgauges which may be supported for this vehicle.
Fuel Type (Gas/Diesel):
Used to determine which Engine Readiness parameters to display for this vehicle. Used
by UltraGauge when determining custom Mgauges which may be supported for this vehicle.
Tank Size:
Fuel tank size in Gallons or Liters. This is used to calculate the fuel level and Distance to Empty
Gauges.
OBD Protocol:
OBDII protocol which is currently active between the Adapter and the vehicle.

# ECUs:
Number of Engine Control Units discovered. This field will list the number found along with the
addresses of each ECU discovered.
#Gauges:
Number of Gauges supported by the current vehicle. This field will show the number supported as well
as the total number possible (supported/possible). Click on this field to list all of the supported gauges as well as
their ECU address (i.e. which ECU supports the given gauge).
Note: For Android, this screen will also allow the selection of ECU to use to retrieve a given gauge in the event that
the gauge is supported by multiple ECUs (by default, the lowest addressed ECU will be used). Note: any gauges
