I played around with the Car Scanner app today. One thing stood out to me, namely the so-called “Battery Coolant Temperature” using the in-app profile “Honda/Acura Hybrids”. It exceeds 80 Celcius in my car. PeterPerkins and I suspect that this value is just wrong instead of the temperature actually being that high. Could anyone please check that value with their CR-Z?

Fahrenheit in APP by mistake?

Good point Peter. Thomas go into the app settings under "Units" and see if temp is set to Farenheit, if it is change it to Centigrade. While you're at it look at the other unit settings and change them as needed.

 

[TNThomas]

It’s in Celcius for sure…

 

[PeterPerkins]

It might be an internal mistake in the app, change it to fahrenheit now what does temp say?

 

[TNThomas]

I will check in a few hours when I have to drive again.

Similar in mine…it will go easily over 80 if the engine work a bit longer…

Nice to know you get the same. Thanks for checking!

I just checked mine again too. Same thing here (again). Also, the value changes correctly when setting it to Fahrenheit, so that’s not the issue.

Now that I am thinking about it. It’s maybe wrongly copying another temperature, like engine coolant or oil. I will check again later.

As can be seen below, the “Engine Coolant Temperature” is exactly the same as the “Battery Coolant Temperature”. So the temperature of the engine coolant is wrongly copied to the battery coolant. That’s what I think at least.

Im still puzzled as to what that temp reading is: https://www.crzforum.com/threads/diagnostic-tools.94169/post-1408841

Doesn't look like it would be that useful for Honda, but if someone has $139 lying around give it a try and let us know.

I ordered the non-iPhone BT version (only $75) for my Ram, so we'll see.
