Default CEL Code After Air/Fuel Gauge Install

Hey Guys, I recently installed an Autometer Air Fuel Gauge. We tapped it into the O2 sensor and after we installed it I reset the Ecu. So after letting the car warm up i got a CEL code right when it finished warming up. I dont have a cel checker so i dont know exactly what the problem is but i assume is has something to do with the O2 sensor. I heared that ur supposed to run the gauges ground to the negative battery side? Is this true? I hooked the negative up so it shared my cd players ground...

Thanx

when i put in my a/f gauge i ran it to the only purple wire on the long ecu plug, then grounded to a nut under the dash, and ran the power wire to the radio fuse.

read this to learn how to check the CEL. dont need a checker, just a piece of wire.
