Hi Guys,
I am preparing to take my 06 VZ commodore on a 3000KM (Yes, 3000KM, 3099 to be precise) drive through the Australian outback in the middle of summer with a trailer and will be having a transmission cooler fitted through the week.
I got a quote for ~$700 to install a temp guage on the transmission then thought I might be able to get a diagnostic scanner which reads the data from the computer instead of dropping a large amount of money on a simple guage.
I found this Actron OBD2 Autoscanner - Supercheap Auto Australia which has the transmission temp in the live readout (as well as a multitude of other useful readouts) but it says vehicle dependent.
Does anyone know if the transmission temp would come up on the readout or if there is any way other than dropping a fortune to an auto-electrician?
Cheers
Ben
