How do I get the scan tool to always read metric

[joecar]

Edit -Properties->Options->Preferred Units.

Also, on the PIDs tab, do ctrl-A to highlight all pids, then do rightclick->Metric, and close the scantool.

Thanks.

One more, in HP tuners I want to log desired idle; I can't seem to get it to jive here. It doesn't look like it's a supported parameter.

I'm also trying to find a setting that has to do with timing; going from park to drive it goes to "minimum spark advance setting" then back to "in gear" setting. still trying to find post in forum as well about it. Does this ring a bell?

wp,

You mean this pid: GM.IDLEDES...?

On the pids tab, click on the column heading "Caption" to sort by that column...

then scroll down until you see IDLEDES in the Caption column... double click on the row to select the pid.

Look down the [sorted] Caption column until you see pids named EST_xxxx...

EST = Electronic Spark Timing...

Are EST_IDLE_DMA and EST_BASE_DMA what you're looking for...?

On some pids you can go rightclick->More Info to get a description of what they do...

Paul is over time filling in the descriptions of the ones that don't have more info.

dang. I was selecting idle in the drop down and it isn't there, but doing an ALL search in alphabetical order is where I found it. geez. I've got three days on this, so bear with me. thanks, Mr.

so, I was looking at a tune from my 02 vette. I saw a place where this could have been an issue. I have solved it. no more dropping down timing between P/N/D changes. "I remember now" comes to mind.

I went to parameters in the scanner and set it for metric. it still always opens in imperial.

[joecar]

Yes, just set it to All.

How did you fix it...?
