Everytime i turn my car on the gauge says annunatior not set up. What is this? Also how do you turn the fans on i see the option for it but it wont let me select high fan or low fan does the car have to be warmed up first?[/

i really didnt get to set the annuncatior up because im not driving my car for the winter. But as for the fans turn the key to the on postion not starting the car. On the scan gauge push both the buttons, use the left button to scroll all the way down to the last option b4 it takes u back up to scan mode. I for get what its called but i know its the last 1, anyhow when u get it highlighted push the right button. Their should be 4 options Fan low....Fan high....Fan off....Exit just scroll to what u want and select it.

That is correct, Chrysler only allows the fan control to work when the key is on/engine off. This makes it very useful for cooling down the car at the track, just be careful not to run down the battery.

The last menu option is called "controls". Select this and you'll go to a submenu where you can turn the low and high speed fan on and off.

This feature was just added and is not listed in the manual yet.

The annunciator warning is there to tell you that you have not set it up or that it is off, so that you know not to count on it when it's not activated. The idea is that someone could set it up, turn it off at a later time, forget, then later realize too late that it's off when they are depending on it for knock alarm or whatever.

It allows you to monitor any parameter, set a safe limit, and turn on the high intensity LEDS to warn you when this threshold is exceeded. For example, you want to know when knock retard exceeds 3 degrees. Go into the annunciator set up, choose knock retard, enter 3 degrees, enter "above" (you can choose "below" as well for things like oil pressrure), then exit. Now you can scan or display any two parameters, doesn't have to be knock retard, and the gauge will warn you when knock goes above 3.

speaking of knock retard, is that the max we should be seeing in our engine? Just curious. THanks for the info! I was curious about this too!

Todd,

Ok, I went down to the car and got the Knock retard alarm set up as you stated, but when I went to do the FAN mod thing, there wasn't any "control" option from the menu and the car was with the igntion on/car off. I don't know what would be the problem here.

One more annunciator question.. the car is my daily driver, and I use the MPG features to record my gas mileage. I know that the "average mpg" in the menu only records when the "instant MPG" on the gauge is selected.

Would I be able to set up the annunciator features to scan through MPG, knock, and horsepower (for instance) while still having the average MPG recorded? Or will I have to keep the MPG static and use the other readout as the annunciator?

Thanks...
