Power On Detection section Mileage Gauges During the scanning and gauge discovery process UltraGauge determines the most accurate means to calculate fuel usage based upon the various vehicle sensors available Normally no intervention or configuration is necessary However in rare cases some vehicles may mis report the presence of a particular sensor which UltraGauge will then attempt to use to calculate the various mileage gauges such as Instantaneous MPG Average MPG Gallons Hour etc When this issue is present many of the mileage gauges may display inaccurately or as Err Other gauges such as engine temperature RPM MPH etc will display correctly This is common on many large Diesel Ford trucks If seen please see the Force MPG Sensor section for more information Impaired or odd behavior of vehicle systems If after installing UltraGauge Blue your vehicle is experiencing odd behavior such as various dash lights have become lit factory gauges stop working vehicle fails to shift hard shifting etc Please see the Force OBDII Protocol section MPG Accuracy For best results UltraGauge should be calibrated for both distance measurements and fuel measurement See the following section Vehicle Calibration Diesel vehicles must perform fuel calibration otherwise MPG and fuel gauges will be dramatically inaccurate Vehicles which use a Manifold Absolute Pressure MAP sensor instead of a Mass Air Flow MAF
