L99 auto trans guys, what are your gauges reading for engine oil temp and transmission temp

here is what i have found

engine oil temp on the gauge 240*F , actuall scan tool oil temp read from the pcm 194*F

transmission temp on the gauge 190*F, actuall scan tool trans fluid temp read from the TCM 159*F

was hoping these gauges would be a little more accurate,

gtrpryde · 06-26-2009, 10:59 AM

Wow that's so off it's disgusting..

I drove my dads a little yesterday, oil temps were around 200f the whole time, trans temp in the manual were around 180f

camaro1 · 06-26-2009, 11:06 AM

the gauge pod is only a 3 wire set up, + - and data, so the calibration has to be off in the gauge pod itself

called gm and they will be getting back to me, i suggest others take there car in too if you think the gauges are off,, the more calls gm gets the more likely they are to come out with a fix or re-calibrated gauge pod assy.

I think its just for the "Retro Look", I have not looked at them since I bought the car, unless someone asks about them........... Thanks for the info!!!

Mine read about what yours read - I will have to hook up and read the system directly to see what it says as well compared to what it shows.

camaro1 · 06-29-2009, 10:49 PM

new gauge set on order

JewelZ · 06-29-2009, 11:03 PM

wtf? that suc

OHIOSS · 06-30-2009, 08:03 PM

I was a little concerned my oil temp guage was reading so high. I didn't think it was right glad to see others agree.

Bump

camaro1 · 12-21-2009, 11:03 PM

hptuners software is the cause of the gauge's being off so much, when flashed with gm factory software the gauges are within 10*f of the scan tool readings,,, much info was sent to hptuners with no answer yet

Jekyll-N-Hyde · 12-21-2009, 11:12 PM

So what we get a tune and our guages dont work correctly ?

qcman · 04-29-2016, 01:19 PM

Sorry if this is a necro thread but I would like to check the actual trans temp on my car and compare it to what my gauges show....

It is tuned but with SCTx4 not Hptuners. I see the OP mentioned using a scan tool does anyone know what that would be or have any suggestions as to how I could do this? I have the SCTX4 unit but I don't know if it can give that type of info to me when plugged in to the car?

If yours doesnt read it, get a $15 bluetooth OBDII adapter from ebay and install torque app on your cellphone.

Ok thx so the bluetooth adapter just passes the info to the phone I guess? Something like this would suffice? Unless you know of a specific one?
