Default PLX wideband not reading

I just got my wideband all in and set up, it's not reading anything only saying rch with the 10 on the side, same thing it did before I hooked up my o2 sensor. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong? PLX SM-AFR.

wait are you using the 02 sensor that was supplied in the plx kit or a 02 sensor from your car?

are you running the sensor as a standalone or is it spliced into the factory 02 setup?

Anyone? I'm fairly perplexed at this one. It's all hooked in and working well(outside of the sensor I suppose. I did cut the harness that plugs into the box to get it through the fire wall but I marked it and put them back together accordingly...no lose connections or anything at all.

I'm gonna take a stab at this and say that you most likely wired it back up wrong.


You should contact PLX to help you out.

Thats what I thought but theres only 6 wires, the only ones that could be are the two white ones, but I marked it and simply put them both together. I'll double check though!

are you using DM-5 for display? if you got the whole kit, then nothing needs to be put together as far as sensor goes.. for dm5 for plain reading you just need to connect to either tx or rx and have power wire from 4 wire plug

check your manual, wiring up wrong will damage it. make sure you solder the main power/ground wire - i have no idea why they couldn't provide one already assembled

Yeah, I changed all the wires around that I could(the installer put the gnd in the analog so I changed in to wideband and then the lambda) he also pluged both RX and TX in, I unplugged and plugged in both with each setting and the guage switched between saying RCH and just flashing the 10 on the side. Any other ideas? I dunno wtf is going on.
