STILL can't get my wideband to read... and i can't turn off the MAF

[rumblebox]

as expected, it runs a million times better... BUT now my NB simulator is doing nothing (447mv) and prevents my TCC from locking up after 30 seconds of clearing the code. this LC-1 has caused me nothing but problems at this point. The LED was defective. The serial port is apparently defective, and now it appears the NB analog output is defective. I wish i had read the reviews on this POS before wasting $150.

alright. i installed the new MAF and connector, and i'm about to see how much better it runs.

questions:

1. does the BB have enough memory to hold a tune without an SD card?
2. what setting do i need to check so i can transfer tunes solely with the BB?
3. what settings on the BB do i need to check to make sure it recognizes my LC-1?

Answers:
1. depends (on how slim your BBx config is (i.e. delete all the stuff for PCMs other than yours)).
2. in V8 S&T, goto BBx, goto Tune, there must be an entry for your PCM.
3. in V8 S&T, goto Devices, goto Serial I/O and set Com Port to Wideband, set Wideband to Innovate.

Can you connect to the LC-1 using LM Programmer...?

Are you sure CL/Trims are enabled...?

[rumblebox]

I already did all that in V8.

Yes CL and STFT's are enabled. The left NB switches like normal, but the simulator stays at 447mv as if it's not there at all. I'll check to see if the wiring isnt melted or severed tomorrow.

What is the LM programmer?

[joecar]

That indicates either the PCM sees an open in either of the NB signal and/or the NB return...

did you connect both the analog signal and analog ground to the NB socket/plug (pins A and B)...?


( the PCM reads the NB signal wrt the NB return )

[rumblebox]

yes. it worked until about a week ago. i just checked the wires over the heat shield, and they're not burned or visibly severed. why would an O2 fault cause the TCC to unlock? that seems like an intentional asshole move on the programmers' part.

[joecar]

Tell Innovate what happened (working correctly, then stopped working, wiring is all intact and good).

[joecar]

I didn't know the TCC unlocks on an O2 fault...

( TCC unlocks on misfires )

[rumblebox]

if they will give me a refund, i'm going with a different brand. what's a reputable one?

the odd thing is the LED blinks until it's warm, then stays steady as if it thinks everything is fine.

[rumblebox]

i quickly figured out why my TCC wouldnt stay locked, BTW. when i updated my OS, i forgot to disable the misfire tables.
