DashHawk Frequently Asked Questions

1. Locate the OBDII connector.  It is under the dash on the driver’s side of the vehicle, often either under the steering wheel or tucked up next to the driver’s side kick panel.
2. Look carefully at the plug with a flash light or other bright light source.  If pins 6 and 14 have metal pins in them (i.e. are “populated”) then the vehicle has a CAN bus and DashHawk will most likely work with this vehicle.

• Online HELP is available at any time in the PC Software by hitting F1

• Use DashHawk to monitor engine Load and engine Absolute Load. Keeping this number low in a cruising configuration will reduce fuel consumption.
• Monitor TPS and Speed. It may sound obvious, but keeping a light foot and operating in a speed appropriate for the gearing and torque curve of the vehicle are key factors in reducing fuel consumption.
• Change up to a higher gear whenever possible (in a manual car). Keeping the RPMs down without lugging the engine can help efficiency.
• Use the MAP parameter in conjunction with TPS, Speed, Load, and MAF to monitor your driving style to minimize fuel consumption.
