    Anybody using ‘Aux Liquid temps’ 2&3?   Mine aren’t working right.

I'm using two of the aux liquid temps for oil pan, and water into the engine, but I can't recall the exact designations of the channels.  In fairness to my failing memory, they do tend to change names from one page to the next, much like the buttons do :-)   I know these were working fine in the previous software version, but just made a note to confirm they're working now. 

        I recently installed a set of VDO sensors in these inputs to measure oil pan & coolant in. Neither are working. I've input the scale factor & offset from the other liquid temp sensors, but these both read 281F regardless of temp. I've switched sensor inputs to confirm sensor operation. I've measured the circuit resistance and found both aux. liquid circuit inputs to be ~450 ohms, while the main liquid temp input circuits are <100 ohms. I've been meaning to call Tracy about this, but I've just been too damn busy.
