What numbers are considered normal on your vehicle? Is your IAT and IAT2 sitting between 80-120? ECT sitting in between 190-220?
General Parameter Readings?
So after firing up my 2012 CTS-V for the first time, I’m now looking to get a idea of what normal parameter readings I should be reading off my HPTuners such as IAT, IAT2, ECT, stuff like that. I would just like to make sure everything is working the way it’s supposed too.

Thats good to know, thank you. I noticed on my HPTuners my coolant when from 185, I gave it a little rip and stopped, and next thing I know my ECT was 233, my IAT IAT2 were at 130? It just does not want to keep me up to date quick enough with the information.For me I don't use IAT because of heat soak. I also don't use IAT2 because it doesn't show the temp changes fast enough so it is not as accurate. I use MAT (Manifold Air Temp) which responds faster to true conditions in the manifold and it is typically 5-10 above ambient in normal driving conditions. Under WOT that is a totally different animal and I am usually around 25-35ish above ambient after a WOT run. I have a front mount heat exchanger and upgraded pump. So my recovery times are quick to rebound as well because the upgrades.
My ECT's run around 160-180 depending but I have a 160* T-Stat. With a stock T-Stat 190-220* is about correct. If you don't have any cooling mods I think you would be around 20-30ish for IAT2.
I’m also wondering what my transmission temperature should be at? At idle it sits at about 190. I haven’t driven it yet since having it rebuilt but I think it’s a little strange how hot it’s getting just at an idle.
