Temp Gauge--where's it at?

[light200]

How do i find out my engine temperature on a 2009 22ve? There was no digital gauge on the lcd screen and i couldnt find any button to push to make it change? Does it not display that info anymore? If not, why not? If so, where is it?

If I remember correctly off the top of my head, with the SpeedSet toggle switch off, push the up or down SpeedSet arrows to cycle through several informational displays. One or more of those will show engine temp, oil pressure, etc.

That is assuming it is on the "main" display. If you have it on another display, such as depth, then you need to press the center SpeedSet button, use the up/down arrows to cycle to "main", and press the center to enter that display.

It't there all the time on the screen.

No, I disagree, it's not on the screen at all which is why there must be some button to display it or change displays?

Well, that's funny, it was there plan as day on the two I was just working on an hour ago..............One is overheating at idle, and the other was used for comparison on how fast it reached operating temp and when the thermostat opened.

When the one gets back from a ride, i'll see if I can snap a pic.

yeah thanks id like to see that because mine definately is not there. maybe its a matter of pushing the cruise arrow like dingleberry suggested. i cannot try that for a week now though, maybe someone can for me?

Its on the time display in my 09 RZ2. Hit the speed set button to switch display screens, then toggle to time display and hit the center speed set button. This is the only location this important info is displayed. It cannot be displayed if cruise is turned on. IMO, major human factors design interface fail!

That's strange I thought temp display was default each time the key was cycled, so it was there till you scrolled away from it.

Nope, this was an important fact my dealer went over with me in detail to keep an eye on the engine temp during the break-in period. When you turn on the key on the main screen you get redundant info from the analog displays but no engine temp. You get outside air and lake water temp but no engine temp.

Ok that's great, but nobody has been ablest answer the original question yet, which is, HOW do I display it and where does it actually show up.?

Unless it's different than my '09 RZ4, I think the procedure I noted above should get it to display. Where? On the center dash LCD screen.

Ok I'll try it out thanks dingle

Light,

Sorry if my first post was not clear or you may have a slightly different dash than I do. My dash only has 2 analog gauges, speed and tach. There are LCD screens under each analog gauge and a much larger LCD screen between the gauges. If you have the same set-up, here is how you access the engine temp gauge:

1. Turn on engine
2. Ensure cruise control switch is OFF
3. Press the center button on the speed set control
4. You may now slew through the 4 menu options on the center LCD screen
5. Use the up/down arrows to find the TIME display option
6. Press the center button on the speed set control to select the TIME display
7. The engine temperature will be displayed in a small box near the top of the display.
