FAQ: Aeroforce Interceptor Scan Gauge

On some models the OBD-II doesn't supply enough power, and you have to run the power lead to a switched source. I had to do this in my Riv, but not in my '05 Yukon.

This.
If you look at the main grey wire harness for the gauge, there's 4 wires in it. One of those wires plugs into nothing on your 97 because pre-98 riv's don't have the second bus lead going to the OBDII plug which the aeroforce gauge uses to know when to turn on/off. So you need to use that extra little harness and plug the red lead into a switched power source like ignition and also you need to insert the little jumper. Take a close look at the instruction manual. Aeroforce has a downloadable PDF on the website in case you don't have a physical one.

HAY THANKS FOR INFO .WHEN YOU USE THE THE EXTRA WIRES DO YOU USE ALL THREE OR JUST THE RED ONE .IAM NOT TO SMART WHEN IT COMES TO THIS KIND OF STUFF .AND WHAT SHOULD I SET THE GUAGE AT .

Is this the 3 wire




who has hooked up this correctly

Has anyone bought this with this many wires and it works?

Everything is right so far! Yes you just use the red wire to hook it up to a power source. We usually use the radio fuse and an Add-a-Fuse thing from an auto parts store. The other two wires are for auxiliary sensors as inputs for the gauge but arent used terribly often.

Oh and remove the jumper that is right next to those plug inputs in the gauge, but it looks like you took it out already.

Cause it does not come on or off with the car I already done that I hooked it up every way possible and it does not work

 even then looking at that still dont tell me nothing Aa mines dont even look like that at all.. if you refer back to the page before you can see the pictures ive posted

Aeroforce tech emailed me back;they said the plugs that I was given was given was wrong. I should have the 3 wire shown in your manual and zzp didnt sell me that standard they took it out of my box

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but would these work for a Riv?

Yes, they will work, and that's a great deal. Act fast!

You may need to get the gauges reflashed for full functionality with the Buick; it's a small fee, I think $25 per gauge.

Awesome! Would I have to mail them to aeroforce to be reflashed?

Yes. They're located in Cleveland. Very responsive guys: sales@aeroforcetech.com

Ok, sounds good! I think I'll jump on that deal!

Man you better for I put a bid in lol
