Default AFC reading O2 voltage WITHOUT blue wire mod.......

problem---you can only see your O2 voltage under the sensor check menu you can not directly compare to rpm,correction etc.

idea for a solution----Would it be possible to use the Knock sensor input on the SAFC 2 for the O2 and then you could record or at least compare #s on the same screen. Is the voltage range the same? Is it even a voltage output? I believe KS reads a voltage under the sensor check, that is why I think this might work

I was just driving looking at the screen with the rpm and tps bar graphs and all the other stuff and noticed the knock section reads 0 because I don't have it hooked up. Would this work? Could you use it for anything else? Thanks for any input

I would try it and see... Worth a shot...

I don't think so...

Use a voltmeter to be sure... but I'm pretty sure the o2 operates at varied ranges of voltage to indicate different mixtures...

where as the knock sensor just sends a single "trigger" voltage to alert of a single knock.

So the knock signal would just be short bursts of the same voltage? I wonder how the SAFC II processes and displays the info. Maybe the number the AFC gives is a knock/time kinda thing. like 3 "triggers" in one second, or something like that. Anyone know for sure?
