Exclamation Scangauge 4.0l i6 Open/Close Loop Display

Whos got a scan gauge or similiar ???

Who knows the 4.0l i6 coolant temp when the open/close changeover is displayed ???

C'mon now ... Dont be shy ... select the LP display setting instead of some useless tripmeter function gauge display

.... and tell us what you see

Piccies would be good

One proviso ....

From a cold start ..... not the 2sec open loop display from a hot startup

Just on the offchance someone has some proper OBD1 reading gear ... It would probably be best for a post layout like this:


XJ Year Model: .................................
Computer Type (OBD I OR OBD II) .......
Coolant Temp at Loop Changeover .......

Pics of scantool display and dash temp gauge if scantool doesnt display coolant temp.

So theres an initial score for 30'c and some good general info for folks that wants it.

Also shows that the OBDII change over temp is not an indicator of O2 sensor condition ... unfortunatley

Who else has got what ???

Not ran the Jeep over the weekend. I'll keep an eye on today to/from work. No specific temp is given in the FSM. It just states that once a certain temp is reached and a timer has expired the loop changes. By that I presume the temp may vary at change over.

Missed the change over temp on the way to work as I was just getting into a gap in traffic, looked down and temp was 22°C with loop changed already. On the way home from work loop changed with 19°C shown as temp. Temp then changed to 21°C. Starting temp was about 6/7°C each time. Voted on the poll - only one so far.

Thanks for the input Jonny Jeep.

Just for interests sake ..... and at an idle from cold start -> to warm up -> to run modes.

You may notice the revs drop at your 19'c - 22'c change over temps.

Just something else I've noticed when I payed attention.

I was hoping your temps may have been higher before the loop change occurred as I had a brain fart recently .... and wondered whether hot and cold location XJs may have different presets.

One fella reckoned it would be easy to do at dealer predelivery ... and I figured that may have offered a balanced resolution to the, Yes / No ... 195'f thermostat / hot running temp situation.

But going by your temps .... That idea probably wont fly.

my scangauge shows closed loop when first started then goes to open loop somewhere between 20 deg C and 40 deg C, which is way below the 92 deg C (195 F) standard thermostat.

according to some forums it is suggested not to use a 160 F or 180 F stat as it would remain in closed loop all the time. clearly this wrong according to the scangauge

this is for my TJ BTW
