Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
- What is a Renix Engine Monitor?
It’s a homemade Scan Tool designed for Renix Equipped Jeeps.
It reads data from the vehicle to give sensor readouts and helpful diagnostic tips.
This v3 Demo Video gives a good product overview
– - Which vehicles does Renix Engine Monitor work with?
It’s always best to check the specs of the latest model but as of v4 the REM can read:
– 1987 to 1990 Renix Jeep 4.0L ECU’s w/ Auto or Manual Transmission
– 1986 to 1990 Renix Jeep 2.5L ECU’s w/ Auto or Manual Transmission
– 1986 to 1990 Renix Jeep AW-4 TCU’s
– - Can the REM read Diagnostic Trouble Codes?
The Renix ECU’s do NOT store or throw DTC Codes or blink any Check Engine Lights so they are limited to Live Data only.
I have added a Fake CEL that will come on if it detects sensors out of range though.
The AW-4 TCU’s have very limited DTC’s that the REM can read.
– - Will this work on OBD 1 or OBD 2?
Currently the REM is only designed to work on Renix Equipped Jeeps.
For OBD 2, I recommend looking at a ScanGauge II for a similar product.
There is a small chance that TCU protocol is the same one OBD 1, but a custom adapter would be needed.
