Default Limits arbitrary? - KreAch3R - 09-24-2021

Hello,

I've noticed that my default "Temp" gauge is flashing red and I'm assuming it's because it is always hovering above the default "Limit" that's hardcoded to "90". Are these limits completely arbitrary and set by you? Or are they common values for most cars? Do you have any idea where I can find my car's limits?

Thank you, yes, I read that, that's where I come from. Is that Limit completely arbitrary put by you? Or should I be concerned about my engine's Temp that goes higher, that's what I'm trying to ask Smile

I think every vehicle is going to be different,  the limits default in OAP are just a baseline.
I would check your owners manual and see if it states anything about operating temperatures.

I need to do the same, as I get the blinking red light too. But the factory gauge in my truck says I'm right where it needs to be.  So I just need to look up what's normal and set those parameters into OAP.

Yes, Chrisfromwa is right. Those values in configuration file are examples and shall be adjusted to your needs/vehicle.

Yes, I thought the same just wanted to confirm it. Unfortunately both my owner's manual and my workshop manual don't specify a specific numbered temperature that should be the limit. My dashboard gauge is an analog one and the temp there is just in the middle.

Thanks to everyone that answered.
