I just got my LC-1. I've attached my LC-1 to my honda ECU according to the instructions here:

Wiring is double and triple and quadruple checked. I've checked voltages at the power and signal wires when it's running with a multimeter to make sure everything is good. I've soldered what can be soldered and used dielectric grease on all the connectors.

Everything is brand new. When I first started the car up, everything worked fine. I got readings that I was expecting. My car was running a little rich, but i knew that already. After driving less than a half mile down the road, it quit.

Now when I turn the key on, the sensor heats up and the LED does it's blinking thing until it goes solid. Then I start the car and it reads full lean under any throttle conditions. After a few minutes the LED goes off and it reads full rich under any throttle conditions.

What can I check for or has my sensor gone busted already?

 

I have gotten numerous faulty products from Innovate straight out of the box. I am nowhere near a satisfied customer.

Call them and ask for an RMA.

 

I'd like to troubleshoot the problem first. I don't know how to tell if it's the LC-1 or the sensor. Anybody know what to check?

 

With the sensor plugged in, backprobe the wires coming out of the O2 sensor connector and let us know which wires have power & gnds(during sensor warm-up). Innovates supplies the pin-outs in their online manual if you'd like to take a look at them.

 

Pump has +5v
Heater has +12v
Sensor has low positive voltage
Heater ground OK
Pump/sensor ground OK.

When I rev the engine, the LC-1 output doesn't change from full lean. But when I check at the sensor, both the sensor voltage and the pump voltage do change.

I received a code 8 during this. I turned the engine off and then back on and the code went away.

After a few minutes I turned the engine off, then turned the key back on. The LC-1 went through the heater start-up, went solid for a while, then the LED turned off. Sometimes when I turn the key on, the LED doesn't come on at all.

 

OK, I cross posted this over at the Innovate forum hoping for a response. Instead, I have been banned from their forum and I think my post was deleted. I'm determined to be patient about this, but that's getting a lot shorter. I've emailed their tech support and I'll call them tomorrow. In the mean time I'm going to try reloading the firmware after going to Best Buy to get a conversion cable.

 

Well, I got a serial to USB cable. Got the drivers to install after a little work on Windows 7 x64. I tried updating the firmware and it took a crap halfway through. Now it won't do anything. So I've just requested an RMA from Innovate to have this repaired.

 

Yep... now its definitely dead. GL getting this all sorted out.
