The left column represents the readiness status for the current driving cycle Each time the engine is started and in some cases when the ignition is switched off the ECM attempts to rerun the various readiness monitors tests If a test completes it will be reflected in the left column and the right column If a monitor test does not complete NO will continue to be displayed in the Left Column the right column will not be affected The Right column represents the readiness status since the trouble codes were last cleared The right column is sticky in that once a test completes and the status changes from NOT READY to READY its sticks and will not revert back to NOT READY unless the trouble codes are again cleared even if there are no trouble codes To restart clear monitor status select MENU gt Trouble Codes gt Clear Check Engine This will clear any posted trouble codes and reset the readiness status This status is not always available It is more common on newer vehicles and less common on older 90 s and early 2000 s vehicles If not supported by your vehicle the column will show NR for all tests See NR above If no results are shown exit the menu place the ignition to RUN and then rerun the readiness menu item Always leave the ignition in the RUN position engine off prior to and while checking the Readiness status This status is commonly available on all vehicles If NR

7. The performance screen is only intended to measure sharp acceleration and braking It is not meant for any other purpose beyond this As a result do not leave this screen up while driving as the times and distances will quickly grow too large to fit in the area provided In general the elapsed time should not be allowed to exceed 99 seconds No harm to the gauge will occur the display will just become overrun with data Note The Deceleration phase begins when the speed drops through the last achieved acceleration threshold of 30 60 or 1OOMPH For example if the speed crosses over 6OMPH and increases to 7OMPH the deceleration phase begins when the speed drops below 60MPH Likewise if the speed just reaches 6OMPH and the vehicle is shifted slowly causing the speed to drop below 60MPH the deceleration phase will begin The Acceleration numbers will freeze when the deceleration phase begins Page 57 61 UltraGauge EM User Manual www ultra gauge com Miscellaneous Units of Measure Most of the gauges displayed by UltraGauge do not indicate the units of measure used All units are those most commonly used in the United States There is no means to change the units of measure used or displayed by UltraGauge rather select a gauge with the desired units The following are used unless specifically indicated otherwise for a particular gauge Measure Unit Distance Miles or Kilometers Temperature Fahrenheit or Celsius Pressu

Lng tr2 Fuel trim refers to the fine tune control of fuel delivery and specifically indicates adjustments made dynamically to the base fuel table to obtain the proper ratio of fuel to air The fuel to air ratio is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the time fuel injectors are open Note that fuel injectors are either fully open or fully closed there is no variable opening Fuel trim is generally calculated by using a wide set of data values including forward O sensors intake air temperature pressure or air mass sensor barometric pressure humidity engine coolant temp anti knock sensors engine load throttle position and battery voltage Short term fuel trim refers to adjustments being made in response to temporary short term conditions Long term fuel trim is used to compensate for issues that seem to be present over a much longer period or that are essentially permanent Long term fuel trim generally should not exceed 10 in most vehicles Fuel trims are expressed in percentages with a range of 100 to 99 2 of nominal Positive values indicate a lean condition exists and the injector is left open longer to compensate thus adding more fuel Negative values indicate a rich condition exists and the injectors are closed more quickly thus reducing the amount of fuel Example A value of 5 0 indicates that the injector is being left open 5 longer than normal thus the fuel to air ratio is being increased Fuel trim cou
