Why ScanGauge 3?

ScanGauge 3 gives you real-time control over your engine’s health. Monitor coolant temperature, fuel economy, transmission data and live diagnostics so you can detect issues early and drive with confidence.

Whether you’re towing, touring or commuting, it helps protect your vehicle from costly surprises.

Plug directly into your vehicle’s OBD-II port and start monitoring instantly - no hard wiring, no complex setup.

The ScanGauge 3 OBD2 scanner is an advanced real-time vehicle monitoring device designed for OBD-II compatible Australian vehicles (typically 2010 onwards). Featuring a vibrant 2.4" capacitive touch display with over 16 million colours, it delivers a powerful suite of functions that go far beyond a standard trip computer.

This compact OBD2 scan tool displays up to nine customisable gauges per screen, across multiple pages, so you can keep track of critical engine and performance data at a glance. It also provides built-in diagnostics, fuel economy monitoring, and manufacturer-specific sensor support, making it one of the most versatile OBD2 devices available for everyday drivers, caravanners, and 4WD enthusiasts.

What It Can Do

  • Display real-time parameters including instant/average fuel economy, trip cost, km/L, litres per hour, engine temperature, boost pressure, and battery voltage.
  • Work as a built-in OBD2 diagnostic scan tool to read and clear engine trouble codes (including pending codes) with both visual and audible alarms.
  • Auto-detect manufacturer-specific data via X-Gauge, including transmission oil temperature, turbo EGT, injector feedback, and DPF status.
  • Provide Wi-Fi firmware updates for new features and improvements.
  • Support both English and metric units - perfect for Australian driving standards.

Whether you’re monitoring towing performance, fuel efficiency on long road trips, or simply want more control over your vehicle’s diagnostic systems, the ScanGauge 3 OBD2 scanner makes it simple.

What is the ScanGauge 3?

The ScanGauge 3 is an advanced OBD2 engine monitoring system that plugs directly into your vehicle's diagnostic port. It displays real-time information such as coolant temperature, transmission temperature, fuel economy, battery voltage, boost pressure and diagnostic fault codes on a customisable touchscreen display.

What can the ScanGauge 3 monitor?

Depending on your vehicle, the ScanGauge 3 can display:

  • Coolant temperature
  • Transmission temperature
  • Fuel economy
  • Battery voltage
  • Turbo boost pressure
  • Intake air temperature
  • Engine load
  • RPM
  • Speed
  • DPF status and regeneration data
  • Custom manufacturer-specific sensors through X-Gauge support

Available data varies between vehicle makes and models.

Can ScanGauge 3 monitor DPF regeneration?

Yes. Many diesel vehicles allow the ScanGauge 3 to display DPF-related information using X-Gauge functionality. This can help you identify when a regeneration cycle is occurring and monitor DPF performance while driving.

Can ScanGauge 3 display transmission temperature?

In many vehicles, yes. Transmission temperature is one of the most popular parameters monitored by caravan owners, 4WD enthusiasts and towing operators. Vehicle compatibility can vary, so contact us if you'd like to confirm support for your specific vehicle.

Does ScanGauge 3 work with Ford Ranger?

The ScanGauge 3 is compatible with many Ford Ranger models that support OBD-II communication. Popular parameters monitored by Ranger owners include coolant temperature, transmission temperature, battery voltage, fuel economy and DPF data.

Does ScanGauge 3 work with Toyota LandCruiser?

ScanGauge 3 works with many modern Toyota LandCruiser models that support OBD-II protocols. Available gauges and advanced X-Gauge functions can vary between engine and model variants.

Can ScanGauge 3 read fault codes?
