Deluxe Gauge Coolant Temp is not F or C

[izzni]

As I'm sure quite a few know, the deluxe Arctic Cat gauge has a diagnostic mode that you can get into by holding the increment and decrement buttons down for 10 seconds. If press the inrecrement button until it gives you the #3 output it will show you the coolant temperature.

I was talking to a Arctic Cat guy at Haydays and he told me that the output it gives isn't actually F or C. He apparently is correct. Here's a picture of the gauge showing the coolant temp, and my aftermarket gauge showing the same thing in the crossover pipe:

This is right after the thermostat opened. The thermostat opens at 150F, where the gauge shows 167-169. Throughout the temp range the coolant temp output is vaugley about 20 higher than what my gauge reported.

I see you have the same accurate fuel gauge as the rest of us owners..
Nice catch on the built in temp gauge..

Nice, but do you have any idea when the temp-light goes on just by looking at the deluxe gague? have a hcr so this would be a really good feature for me to watch my temp while riding.

No one knows what numbers the high temp light goes on at?

It should say on your clutch cover. One temp for flashing and one for steady on.
