4. Calibrating Your ScanGauge
The accuracy of your ScanGauge can be improved by calibrating the fuel consumption . Calibrating your ScanGauge to accurately report fuel consumption is a 2-step process; Your First Fill Up, Your Second Fill Up.
After following the initial calibration procedure, you should follow Step 2
for each subsequent fill up.
If you miss a full up procedure after filling your tank, start with Step 1 of
the calibration process on your next fill up to maintain accuracy .
Step 1 – Your First Fill Up
- Fill up the tank, letting the pump shut off automatically.
- Use the FILL UP function to tell ScanGauge you have filled the tank. From the Home Screen, follow the sequence shown to the right.
- On your first fill-up, DO NOT make any adjustments to the indicated fuel. Simply press SAVE.
- Next, press the Fuel Cost tab. Enter the cost per gallon/liter and press SAVE.
- Keep the ScanGauge connected to your vehicle and use the vehicle normally.
- Once you reach approximately 1/4 tank of fuel left, follow the directions in Step 2.
Helpful Hints
- When filling the tank on your second fill up, I try to use the same pump you used for your first fill up with the vehicle pointed in the same direction. If you fill up your fuel tank with your vehicle on an incline, it can have an effect on the amount of fuel the pump can dispense into your tank.
- When filling your tank, let the pump shut off automatically. Do not top off.
- Once you have completed your second fill up, subsequent fill ups may not require adjusting the gallons/liters before pressing DONE.
Step 2 – Your Second Fill Up and Subsequent Fill-ups
- When the tank is around 1/4 full , fill up your tank again. Be sure to let the pump shut off automatically
- Use the FILL UP function to tell ScanGauge you have filled the tank or entered the amount of gallons for a partial fill up. From the Home Screen, follow the sequence shown to the left.
- Use the Fuel Cost tab to enter the price per gallon to keep track of your fuel cost as you drive in the gauge screen and trip menu.

feedback about your fuel usage as you drive. This will allow you to see what
adjustments in your driving style can be made to actually raise or lower your
Average Fuel Economy.
Your goal is to bring up your Trip MPG reading as high as possible. To do this, try and adjust your driving style so that your Instant MPG reading is equal to or higher than your Trip MPG . You can also use the Gallons/Liters Per Hour to gauge how much fuel your vehicle will use each hour of driving .
The Trip Fuel Cost gauge will show you the total cost of the fuel used . You can think of the gauge as a taxi meter.
