Some dongles will not see all the modules.

If you bought the one available from this site it will see them all.

hey all I bite the bullet and brought a dongle from this site and I had to delete the profile in for scan and all the modules showed up I have 3 questions.
1) I'm missing the time from the left side panel of the ipc cluster
2)my 4wd gauge won't show the roll and pitch of the car
3) and how do I get a readout of the Tyre pressures of the car

Thx for everyone's help and any thoughts would be nice

If you want to monitor things you will need an OBDLink or similar dongle.

I have my OBDLink connected to the second port and monitored on a phone and tablet.

Have a read of this, viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1459

In the last pic of my post you will see the pressures LFTP etc

Hope that helps you

Hey dude, sorry but I am not understanding what you are asking, someone else may.

Not sure about this one - sorry
2)my 4wd gauge won't show the roll and pitch of the car
The Ranger, pre MY19 doesn't have that facility I believe. It has the graphics, but isn't active
3) and how do I get a readout of the Tyre pressures of the car
As Ross says, you'll need an extra readout device such as an Ultragauge, Scangauge or OBDLink on a phone or tablet. You can't display them on the existing screens

Thx for everyone's help and any thoughts would be nice

Hi Jason,

The time would be back buy now, if not change the time on Sync2/3 and it will show up.
Pitch Roll is not supported - Give the search box a go up the top, you will get a ton of results or click here search.php?keywords=pitch+roll and this may help to answer those questions. The Ranger of any year does not support pitch roll.
