Fitment notice: The Insight CTS3 is not universally compatible with every vehicle manufactured after 1996. The table identifies common vehicle families to check, not guaranteed fitment. Parameter availability and diagnostic functions vary by vehicle and ECU.
Real-Time Engine Monitoring for Towing and Performance
Monitor Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
Exhaust gas temperature is an important measurement for many turbocharged diesel applications, especially when towing heavy loads or operating under sustained engine load.
Elevated EGT readings can indicate increased thermal stress, making accurate monitoring useful for understanding engine operating conditions.
The Edge Insight CTS3 can display supported EGT information where the vehicle provides the necessary sensor data.
Some vehicles require an additional EGT probe and compatible expansion hardware for direct exhaust temperature measurement.
Keep an Eye on Transmission Temperature
Automatic transmission temperature is another important parameter for drivers who tow trailers, haul heavy loads, or operate in mountainous terrain.
Excessive transmission heat can contribute to accelerated fluid degradation and component wear.
On supported vehicles, the Edge Insight CTS3 can display transmission temperature information directly through the factory diagnostic connection.
This makes the monitor especially useful for diesel truck owners who want to observe transmission operating conditions while towing.
Monitor Turbocharger Boost Pressure
Turbocharged engines rely on controlled intake manifold pressure to produce additional torque and horsepower.
On compatible vehicles, the Insight CTS3 can display boost-related information, helping drivers monitor turbocharger operation and engine load.
This is particularly useful for Power Stroke, Duramax, and Cummins diesel applications.
Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Monitoring
Modern diesel trucks use diesel particulate filters (DPFs) to reduce particulate emissions.
During regeneration, the vehicle raises exhaust temperatures to help burn accumulated soot from the filter.
The Edge Insight CTS3 can display supported DPF regeneration information on compatible diesel applications.
Monitoring regeneration activity can help drivers better understand when the emissions system is performing an active cleaning cycle.
Available parameters vary by model year and vehicle calibration.
OBD-II Diagnostics and Check Engine Light Monitoring
Beyond displaying digital gauges, the Edge Insight CTS3 can provide supported diagnostic trouble code functions.
When your vehicle develops a Check Engine Light, diagnostic information can help identify the system reporting a problem.

Understanding Fuel Trims and Engine Performance
Fuel trims are among the most useful diagnostic measurements when troubleshooting gasoline engine drivability problems.
Short-Term Fuel Trim (STFT) and Long-Term Fuel Trim (LTFT) indicate how the engine management system adjusts fuel delivery to maintain the desired air-fuel mixture during closed-loop operation.
When supported by the vehicle, monitoring fuel-trim data can help identify vacuum leaks, fuel-delivery problems, and airflow measurement issues.

Customizable Digital Gauge Display
The Edge Insight CTS3 allows drivers to create personalized gauge screens for different driving conditions.
For example, a diesel truck owner may prioritize transmission temperature, boost pressure, and available exhaust temperature readings when towing.
A gasoline performance enthusiast may prefer engine RPM, coolant temperature, intake temperature, and supported fuel-system parameters.
The touchscreen interface allows convenient navigation between display configurations without installing multiple separate dashboard gauges.
Simple OBD-II Installation
The Insight CTS3 is designed for straightforward installation without permanent vehicle modifications.
-
Locate the vehicle’s OBD-II diagnostic port, typically beneath the driver’s side dashboard.
-
Connect the supplied monitor cable to the diagnostic connector.
-
Mount the touchscreen in a safe location that does not obstruct the driver’s view or interfere with airbags.
-
Turn on the ignition and follow the setup prompts.
-
Select the available parameters and configure the preferred gauge layout.
Additional accessories may be required for certain sensor measurements or mounting configurations.
