The scan gauge 3 help me read the Toyota RAV four 2019 transmission temperature very easy I had bought the scan gauge 2. And it was hard for me to add the codes and the X gauge mode. I performed a drain and refill on my transmission at 60 K. I put the bolt back into the drain pan at 104 degrees when I first drain transmission only 3 quarts came out and when I refilled it, I put 3.5 quarts and waited for the temperature to rise until 104° and they removed the boat until I saw a trickle in the oil stream, and the little oil that drained out was exact, the 0.5 quarts that I had added extra are used YouTube and Toyota care not channel and in a few videos about that Yoda transmission fluid change the point of my of this post is to let you know that the scan gauge three does read a live transmission temperature with ease, a struggle to find an OBD that will do this for my exact car so I recommend a scan gauge three if you need to read the live temperature on transmission

I just bought the Scanguage II it should be here by tomorrow. There are four different codes for the transmission fluid temperature, did you try them all? I think it's this one.
Transmission Pan Temp
TXD 07E02182
RXF 046105820000
RXD 2808
MTH 00090005FFD8

I guess it doesn't matter now since you were able to get the temp.

Let us know if it works. I am interested in a ScanGauge, and the SG2 is about $100 less than the SG3.

Nice, which year RAV4 do you have and do you remember which codes you used?
This will make transmission fluid changes a lot easier, the main thing holding people back is getting the ATF temp.

I was surprised how much was left in the pan after doing a drain on mine this past weekend. I pulled the pan and changed the filter too. I went through 11 quarts to get it all clean.

Did you mean valve body cover? That transmission doesn't have the pan.

Yours may not have a pan. Mine most definitely did. There may be differences and similarities between the two.

Ok. I thought you have 5th gen RAV4.
Looks like no filter either, unless I missed it. If there isn't then I'd def stick with 30k fluid changes.
Edit: Nevermind it's that black plastic thing at 1:50. So replacing this filter requires tearing the whole thing apart...

It looks like it's working. I used the codes labeled under "2016+ 3.5L Equipped Toyota / Lexus" since none of the ones in the first table worked. It's also able to show the current gear.

For Transmission fluid temperature I used the first code. Will have to verify temps in the morning on a cold engine.
Transmission Fluid Temp 1 (℉)
TXD: 0701221AAA
RXF: C462051A36AA
RXD: 3008
MTH: 00090005FFD8
Top left: ATF temperature (F)
Top right: Fuel Pump Duty
Bottom left: Current Gear
Bottom Right: Oil Temperature

I decided to also buy the ScanGauge 3 just to double check if these values are correct, will likely return the SG II.
AutoZone is currently selling the ScanGague 3 for 20% off with a coupon code so you can pick one up atm for $240 total, including taxes + free shipping. An average ATF drain and fill costs ~$150 - 200+ and a fluid exchange will likely cost $350 - $500+ so I think it's worth getting if you plan on doing your own fluid changes.
I've also been researching Toyota WS alternatives since it can be hard to find at a good price. Idemitsu TLS-LV is a good alternative and it's full synthetic, Amazon is selling 1 quart for only ~$6/ quart, regular price is around $10/quart. It's also specially formulated to meet Toyota WS specifications whereas most others are universal type fluids.

It is my plan B if I can't get Toyota WS from dealership.

Here is my opinion when it comes to transmission fluid. Whatever is in it already is all that I will use unless the manufacturer themselves say that the alternative is better. For example my truck that has an Allison transmission is factory filled with Dex VI. There is an Allison transmission store near where I live. They also have a full repair shop around back where they rebuild Allison transmissions in all kinds of vehicles. Those guys, and GM are now factory filling that transmission with a fluid called DuraDrive and said it is superior to the Dex VI and said it was safe to convert mine over to it. I will be adding a deeper pan and larger cooler when I do it. I have another car that calls for ATF+4 fluid. All of my research says to make sure that it explicitly says exactly that on the bottle. I will just stick with the factory fluid and change it with what is already in there. It isn't worth trying something and finding out whether or not it works as far as I'm concerned. That price of the Idemitsu makes me wonder too. You can't find other name brand transmission fluids for that price. It may be the same, it may not. I'm not a chemist. I will stick with buying the Toyota WS fluid from Toyota at $80 for 6 quarts. I went through 11 quarts when I changed mine out last weekend. Cheap compared to a transmission.
The regular price for a single quart of this Idemitsu is between $10 - $15 and over $60 for the 5 quart. I trust this fluid only because it's specific for Toyota WS and not a universal ATf like Valvoline Max Life. Based on all the reviews everyone seems to be doing fine with this and many are saying their transmission has improved shifting after switching from Toyota WS. But if your powertrain is still under warranty then I also recommend sticking with OEM fluids. The only issue is that Toyota WS can get very expensive for what it is.
