Sharing sensors with gauges.

Post by 2JvLo »

Goodday, This might be a stupid question but i'm gonna ask it anyway.

My 2JZ is equipped with an oil pressure, oil temperature & water temperature gauge. Would it be possible to use these also for the DTA or do they require separate sensors? It would be strange to run 2 oil pressure pods i suppose.

best regards,

You MIGHT be able to share the oil pressure, but you cannot share the temperature sensors.

For then most part....a 3 wire powered sensor can be shared.

2 wire resistive....not so easily.

Just made a secont temperature sensor for the oil temperature. I'd really rather not fit an extra pressure pod. Saw in the settings that the oil pressure input voltage goes to 5v. Guess the gauge would be 12. Would the extra voltage be harmfull for my sensor input on the S80?

Why would you guess a gauge goes to 12v ?

Dont even mention what gauge or setup it is ?
