| COOLANT TEMP | Temperature of the engine coolant | Centigrade |
| TURBO BOOST | Turbo Charge boost pressure | BAR |
| MAP | Manifold air pressure | BAR |
| FUEL TEMP | Diesel injection fuel temperature | Centigrade |
| INTAKE TEMP | Air temperature at air intake | Centigrade |
| BATT VOLTAGE | Battery voltage | Volts |
| INTAKE PRESSURE | Air pressure at air intake (Atmospheric) | BAR |
Fuelling Monitor
The following fuelling parameters are displayed:
| Parameter | Description | Units |

| CONSUMPTION | Instantaneous consumption | L/100Km |
Trip Logger
The TD5SPY maintains 2 trip logs. Trip log 1 is reset on each trip. Trip Log 2 is accumulative over all trips until reset.The following fuelling parameters are displayed:
| Parameter | Description | Units |
| SPEEDOMETER | Vehicle speed | KPH |
| ALTITUDE | Vehicle Altitude from GPS (if available) | Meter |
| TRIP TIME | LOG1: Duration of current trip. LOG2: Duration of all trips | Hours:Minutes |
| DISTANCE | LOG1: Distance of current trip. LOG2: Distance of all trips | Km |
| AVG L/100KM | Average consumption | Litres per 100 Km |
| L/100KM | Instantaneous consumption | Litres per 100 Km |
| DIESEL USED | Diesel used based on injection | Litres |
| TANK | Diesel remaining in tank | Litres |
The following button are provided for the Trip Logger:
 | View Trip Log 1 |
 | View Trip Log 2 |
 | Reset currently displayed Trip Log |
Injector Balances
The TD5SPY provides a Injector Balance test that can be run whilst the engine is idling. This test indicates the state of the cylinders and injectors.
Fault Report
Click on the 'GET FAULTS' button to display a list of active faults reported by the ECU.
Active faults can be cleared by clicking on the 'CLEAR FAULTS' button.
Please note that the ignition key must be switched on but the engine not running.
System Tests
As shown in the screen to the right, various tests can be execute. Please note that the ignition key must be switched on but the engine not running.
