Default Engineering Mode Change

Can the turbo boost gauge be changed to a battery voltage gauge via engineering mode on my truck model? Via Forscan?

I have never seen it done. It might be possible.

Don’t think it’s possible. Other folks would’ve done it by now…especially with most issues being called out due batteries these days.

Heres an alternative I’ve had for a couple years: Amazon

I removed the dash coin holder and replaced with a voltmeter with 3 charge ports, two type A USB and one USB C port.

Engineering mode displays things, there is no changing through it.

There's no setting to change what the gauges display in Forscan or Engineering Mode that I have found. You can display the temperatures over the engine temp and transmission temp gauges, which I've done. To monitor the battery, I use a Garmin OBD dongle and smartphone app. Amazon sells some power port USB adapters that display voltage on the face.

I monitor my battery voltage on Banks iDash gauge along with boost and a couple of other things.
