So Im wondering, I put the engine load gauge on my SCTx4 and I was wondering what exactly that represents and how the percentage is determined?

Anyone got any answers? In the meantime, Im heading too google.

I've seen that on my Edge CS2 as well as my X4. I think it's a joke it's not accurate from what I have seen and even if it was it serves no purpose. Use the gauges for a useful PID

I have the load percentage set up on my Livewire ts but have no clue as to what it means. I don't see any difference when pulling my camper or not. Maybe someone will chime with the answer because I would like to know also.

I have it up on mine as well, if i start the truck when its warm outside but the oil is still 70 or 80, ill just keep the load low until it warms up, about all i watch it for. That and trying to draft behind semis

I have it up on my main torque pro screen. Just something to watch for consistency and lugging i guess. If it holds up high for to long or if i start seeing higher %'s then normal on my daily drives to and from work, i'll figure something is wrong. Its usually 45-55% accelerating to 50 or so. My different ficm tunes show different load %'s. Higher the tune, lower the % it seems.
