The AEM OBD2 Gauge 30-0311, available at Summit Racing, offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring your vehicle’s performance. This powerful gauge reads data directly from your vehicle’s OBDII port, providing real-time insights into critical engine parameters. It’s a must-have tool for any automotive enthusiast looking to maximize performance and diagnose potential issues.
Understanding the AEM OBD2 Gauge 30-0311
The AEM X-Series OBDII Gauge (PN 30-0311) connects to your vehicle’s OBD port, reading the CAN bus data stream and displaying it on a bright, easy-to-read LED screen. This gauge is compatible with most 2008 and newer vehicles equipped with an OBDII port. It not only displays vital engine data but also reads and clears Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), simplifying the diagnostic process.
Effortless Data Monitoring
Navigating through the various data channels is simple using the “Page” button on the gauge face. The AEM 30-0311 can display a wide range of parameters, including Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), RPM, Ethanol Percentage, Mass Air Flow (MAF), Fuel Pressure, Manifold Pressure, Boost Pressure, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Vehicle Speed, Lambda, and more. The specific channels available depend on your vehicle’s make and model.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Functionality
The “DTC” button initiates a scan for stored trouble codes. The gauge will display any detected DTCs, allowing you to identify and address potential problems. Once the issue is resolved, you can use the same button to clear the codes. This feature eliminates the need for separate code readers, streamlining the diagnostic and repair process.
Enhanced Visibility and Design
The AEM 30-0311 boasts a four-digit LED display that’s significantly larger than previous AEM models, ensuring excellent readability. A sweeping LED “needle” provides quick reference to parameter values, and the overall larger display enhances visibility at a glance.
Despite its larger display, the gauge fits standard 2-1/16th-inch (52mm) gauge pods. Its slim design, with an overall depth of under 0.825 inches and a cup depth of only 0.200 inches, allows for flexible mounting options. A positive locking connector ensures a secure connection, and an auto-dimming sensor optimizes display brightness for various lighting conditions.
