    Does anyone have the Car Scanner Pro (paid version) and have the Electric Water Pump Speed, Actual display (rpm) and the Electric Water Pump Speed, Requested (rpm) sensors displaying/working on the dashboard display? The two sensor data gauges only display zero rpm on the dashboard display.

    I'm using the app with a Veepeak ELM BT adapter, https://a.co/d/7GjiY1X

    I can get the Inverter Pump rpm displayed properly, but I am more interested in the engine coolant water pump information because the water pump is still the original, approaching 150K miles.

    Thanks

    I don't know that adapter very well I would say since you have a display and you can get inverter RPM which to me is kind of funny inverter RPM nope it either works or it doesn't in the generation too and it gets changed accordingly I thought the 3 similar but bad location. I mite be that adapter.

    Gen 3 inverter coolant pump is variable-speed and controlled very much the same way as the engine coolant pump.

    If you can see it on the screen in your app and is blacked out has no numbers etc maybe it blocked until paid for .

    I paid for the Pro lifetime version, but still no go.

    I have another BT adapter coming in today, it's one of the adapters on a list of recommended adapters, provided by the app developer, that have known to work with the app. Fingers crossed.
