XD 16 issues? random code 8.

[turbovanman²]

I put an XD16 gauge and a used LC1 controller in the other day, reused my 9 month old sensor, cal'd it, seem to work fine then I stopped to do some shopping, it acted weird and started flashing 08. Did some surfing and it said check powers and grounds, which I know are good as I made sure and I know they are very important. Today, it started flashing ox content, then the actual reading, so do I have to cal it a few more times or ?

I have the power running off a main switched feed at the steering column, I've also read they don't like the voltage spikes caused when starting the car.

how'd you connect the wires?

how'd you connect the wires?

Grounds are on the inside of the van, the 3 powers are too the ignition feed. I even pre ran the Ox output wire so I can enable that, :eyebrows:

[GLHNSLHT2]

how'd you connect the wires to the other wires is what I mean, not where they are hooked to.

[turbovanman²]

Crimped to an eyelet for the grounds, spade terminal for the power. I've used this method on other installs with no issues, :(

There are only 2 ground wires, 1 for the LC and 1 for the gauge, and then 3 power wires, 2 for the LC and one for the gauge.

No simon, The red wire get's power, the blue and white are grounds FOR THE LC-1!!! The black wire on your LC-1 is what you ground out to recalibrate it. It shouldn't be hooked to anything if you have an XD-16 running the show. And the brown and yellow wire are your outputs. drip some solder to the ends of your connectors where the wires hook them.

Yeah, I know this-got it mixed up in my head. I just looked at the wiring diagram as this is what I have done. The black and brown wires are taped off, the 2 red wires, one for the LC and one for the XD go to power, the other 3 grounds are at the same spot, same lug. Yellow wire will be going to the ox sensor.

read appendix C in the manual. might have to move the sensor further downstream or you might have a faulty sensor. Basically it states the sensor is over heating. Where do you have it mounted?

Its way down the pipe, same place as with the LM1, nothing has changed except I am using the LC1 and XD16 instead of the clunky LM1.

[GLHNSLHT2]

well then maybe your sensor is dead.

I seem to have fixed it, fingers crossed. I did another set of calibration routines on it, 3 times, and its working fine.

NOw I have to buy a usb serial converter, grrrrrrrr, none of my laptops have a serial port, :mad: or drag out the home computer, :banghead:

[GLHNSLHT2]

if you don't have a serial port how are you tuning your ECU? still Burning chips? Glad to hear it's working.

The Ostrich and burner I have use USB ports, :nod:

I am borrowing Boost Geeks Burn 2 by Moates but bought one for myself, they rock, no more moving pins around etc, its all simply point and click.

Its back, :mad: :censored:

write to Innovate. They'll tell you what's wrong. If it's a problem with the LC-1 or XD16 they might even replace it free of charge.

I tried calling them, got an answering machine, :mad:

It started working again, then stopped, then again, this is maddening, :(

[GLHNSLHT2]

I said WRITE TO THEM :) http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/contact.php Select Technical support and fill out your problem in the msg area.

[turbovanman²]

Called and he said its my sensor, I asked why it was ok with my LM1, he said the XD setup is more sensitive, :(

[GLHNSLHT2]

well that's a good thing though.

[turbovanman²]

Changed the sensor, fixed. I guess I'll keep that sensor with my LM1.
