    Default Cannot get wideband logging correctly with V1 analog...plx sm-afr ***SOLVED***

    Hi all, finally got a chance to get my wideband installed and it is working via the digital display.

    i took the 0-5v WBoutput from the sm-afr box to the orange connector and ran the ground from the sm-afr to the orange connector.

    question 1) does the ground also have to go to a chassis ground?

    i started logging some data and my external analog voltage doesn't fluctuate, just sticks at 3.4v

    the afr on efilive hovers around 16.8ish and doesn't change even with throttle, the display gauge though changes accordingly

    this is a copy of my calc_pids file...

    i am using v1, on a ls1a ecm.

    any ideas as to what the problem could be?

    Which two pins on the orange connector: C and D, or E and D...?

    Depending on whether you use pin E or pin C, the voltage pid will be different (EXT.AD1 vs EXT.AD2).

    And you have to use pin D as shown in vxchev's pic (thank's vxchev).

    i am using pin C for the 0-5V output from the WB controller
    I am using pin D for the ground output from the WB conitroller.

    i am using ext.ad1 as the voltage pid


    i added those pids into my calc_vet selection...is that correct? i thought the only pids i needed to use were the ones noted in the tutorial. i think i am overlooking something very major lol

    aw crap it should be ad2.i'll give that a shot and update!


    do i need to add the ext.ad2 PID and the calc_afr_PLX2 pids to my calc_vet selectioN?

    In your calc_pids.txt change this to use AFR_PLX2

    Code:
    *CLC-00-110
    factor             0.5           1.5       .4  "{GM.EQIVRATIO}*({CALC.AFR_PLX1}/14.7)"

    okay i changed the calc.afr_plx1 to calc.arf_plx2

    also added ext.ad2 and calc.afr_plx2 to my calc_vet.pid file so it looks like this...






    do i need all those pids? the calcvet tutorial doesnt mention adding extad2 or calcafrplx2

    You are ok, you're at 24 pid channels.
