I recently got a ScanGauge 3 to monitor transmission temperatures because I will be towing a small U-Haul trailer for a 530-mile move. This may be overkill for one purpose, but I will be driving on I-40 through the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. It will be the first time I am towing anything too. To justify cost, I figured I could use it to get real-time data on tire pressure, battery voltage, etc. However, TPMS did not pull up with the AutoScan feature and the X-Gauge commands are not listed on their website. I have reached out to Customer Service and waiting to hear back.

Does anyone know if TPMS information is available for ScanGauge? If so, do you have the commands available?

Xterra is 2015 P4X.

TPMS is not available, as far as I know.

For those not familiar with the ScanguageIII
Provides:
Real time feedback of fuel economy including

• Instant Fuel Economy
• Average Fuel Economy
• Gallons/Liters per Hour
• Cost per Mile
• Trip Fuel Cost

Monitor parameters such as transmission temperature, oil temperature, trip data and fuel economy information. X-Gauge™ gives you the ability to customize your ScanGaugeIII by adding additional vehicle specific digital gauges. The all new Auto Scan feature of the ScanGaugeIII can automatically scan your vehicle for available XGauges
(XGauge offering for Xterra is transmission temp)

Automatic trip computer
Time and distance trip computer

• MPG
• Fuel Used
• Max Coolant Temperature
• Distance Driven
• Max RPM
• Hours Driven
• Max MPH
• Average MPH
• Fuel Cost

Tank Trip
The ScanGauge includes a trip computer based on the current tank of fuel.The tank trip computer starts automatically when you tell ScanGauge you have filled your tank.

• MPG for current tank
• Fuel Used on current tank
• Tank to Empty
• Distance Driven
• Distance Until Empty
• Hours driven on current tank
• Hours to Empty
• Average Speed
• Fuel Used Cost

The ScanGaugeIII can check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and if found, can display how many there are and the Trouble Codes themselves along with the code meaning. You are also able to view pending codes if there are any to catch problems before they become worse. The ScanGaugeIII can scan your vehicle for emissions readiness and let you know what if any tests have not passed before you take your vehicle in for emissions testing.

If no codes are found and your Check Engine light is still on, your vehicle may be storing pending codes. The ScanGaugeII provides a method to force clear any detected or undetected Trouble Codes with just a few touches of the screen.

I did find some information on the Frontier forum.

Scangauge 3

In anticipation of some towing and wanting to avoid a fried transmission I picked up a Scangauge 3. I was able to get coolant temp, engine oil temp, transmission temp, and air intake temp easily. Unfortunately the TPMS codes I'd gotten some years ago were apparently not applicable to the 2015...

ScanGauge II Owners - How are you using your Gauge?

Is anyone using a SG2 on a 2020+ Frontier? I'm trying to get the transmission temps (via x-gauge » X-Gauge Categories » 2008+ Nissan XTerra/Frontier/Titan/Armada) and they do not seem to work This is how I mounted mine:

www.clubfrontier.org

I'll try it today but doesn't look like it will work. Bummer.

You should be able to program for TPMS, if you have the updated firmware and the X-Codes to program into the unit. I had to program the codes in for trasnmission temps, but I didn't add the TPMS functionality.

Edit: The TPMS X-Code looks to be separate and independent from the codes specific to each vehicle model.

EDIT: Totally missed the part where you said Scangauge 3... all the below pertains to Scangauge 2. I didn't even know they had a newer version. So the following may or may not be helpful in your case.


TPMS works great on my '09 (but unfortunately not my '06, it's too old) with a 4.5+ firmware Scangauge. It should work on your '15 if your firmware is 4.5+.

TPMS Sensors Recommendations ?

Hello everyone ! I have a question... what TPMS sensors would you guys recommend to get to replace a dead or non existing ones at all ? ) Dose it matter if they from amazon or lets say from rockauto ? what would you guys recommend on getting ? Thank you )))

One thing that's not ideal, but not a big deal, is that you have to remember which tire is which, as it'll just display them as TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4, and that does not correlate to the tire position. To figure out which was which, I just set tires at 25, 30, 35 and 40 PSI and drove for a bit. On my X for example it's

1 3
4 2

Next time I do a front to back tire rotation it'll be

4 2
1 3

I don't monitor all four at once, just typically have the TP(x) on the display along with volts, AT temp, and MPG. If I want to check all four tires I just toggle through the four TP's.

ScanGauge 3 is a bigger unit but easier to use, WIFI updates, multiple screens, etc. I just found out it existed when I was looking for a ScanGauge II a week ago. With the new unit, you can display up to nine different readings at once.

Do you have the codes you used for TPMS on the ScanGauge II? I will try it to see if it works. Maybe they don't have everything dialed in yet for ScanGauge 3.

Pretty sure I just used the same x-gauge codes that @RikRong posted earlier:

Same info at this link but it's just the TPMS codes; found this by a google search for "scangauge tpms nissan":

Thanks. I will try it soon.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the car needs to be moving for the Scan Gauge to read the tire pressure. I believe it's above 20 mph and it will usually start to register after a few seconds.
