Angel in the GREEN but is it NORMAL

When You scan Your instruments, don't just say T&P's are in the GREEN.... learn Your machine as to where the T&P's normally sit & then ask T&P's are NORMAL (or what) note the engine oil temp. is in the green, but the air cooler intake was partially blocked by duck tape, hence the abnormal indication
