I run a Scangauge II. It's top notch.

Yes, the ScanGauge II has trans temp for my 08 Tacoma, I called ScanGauge to get the codes. If I were you I wound call and check. If your Toyota does NOT have a trans fluid dip stick, it will have a temperature sensor, it's how Toyota changes the fluid that needs to be done at a set temp. If you haven't replaced your small trans cooler with a larger one, it would be a good idea.

So, the ScanGauge II does have the trans temp for your Toyota? I definitely want that. I was reading that my specific model (07 Prerunner) may not report the code, therefore, no scanner will be able to report it. I'm trying to verify whether it's the scanner or the Taco that is the problem.

I started with a ultra-gauge but it did not have trans temp for Toyota's, so I bought a ScanGauge II. I would make sure the new ones do, I still have my ultra-gauge setting in the garage.

I use this:
I use OBD Fusion app on iPhone. Works well with my '08 4Runner and '07 Subaru Forrester. 4Runner reports transmission temp. Subaru does not. App is good for getting and resetting trouble codes. fred

Excellent, thank you. And, it's half price of the ScanGauge II. What year is your Taco, and did you buy the wireless Ultra Gauge or hard wired?
Thank you!

Yep, this was the one I had seen in that forum, thank you! It's listed around $160, and the Ultra Gauge in the following post is listed at only $80. I'll check them both out, thank you!
