Gauges not reading oil pressure or manifold temp?

Just noticed the oil pressure on my configurable gauge cluster wasn’t removing/reading anything. Scrolled through the listed measurements & also not reading there or picking up manifold charge temp. No check engine lights, not short on oil, running fine.

I wonder if something w/ the tune I’m running caused these to disappear? I have a gearhead tune on now but can’t guarantee this wasn’t the case beforehand

im going to see what happens on cold start tomorrow & also tune back to stock see if there’s any change.

strange

The PCM needs to send that data to the Instrument Cluster. Earlier models (2017/2018) didn’t have those read outs. If the tune is based on earlier software, the PCM will not send that data.

That seems to make some sense, but the tune is tied to the vin & the vin is obviously a 2020....but maybe they didn’t change that aspect?

ill report back what I find out

Exactly, the base files they use may not be from a 2020. Used to see a ton of that on tuned 6.7’s; they based the pickup tune off of the chassis cab files.
