Innovate LC1 wideband o2 flashing "7.4" This happened not too long after getting my car running in May but it's been kind of an afterthought. The Innovate LC1 worked for a short time, maybe a week or two after the car was road worthy, but now all it does is flash "7.4".
Doing some googling it sounds like that error can be thrown due to incorrect wiring or ground, but I've checked that as best I could. The other possible reason is the wideband gauge itself is bad, but I thought that would be odd considering its short use. I thought maybe the wideband sensor was fouled out from burning oil due to a brief turbo oil drain line issue, so I bought a replacement and still had the same problem.
Anybody seen this before? I have tried doing the sensor calibration and all....but nothing has worked. Looking for any other ideas before I assume the gauge is bad and try to replace it.

Mine did the same thing and now I got rid of it.
A buddy had his go bad and got a replacement then it went bad as well. He called tech and they told him its only suppose to be used to get the tune dialed in then removed afterwards. Seems stupid to me.

Hmm interesting because the instructions are very specific about a certain group of wires being grounded together.
My ground is one of the grounds used by engine harness and I want to say power is to fuse block.

first one i had worked for years, second one did this after a months of use. I tried rewiring it, and no good. RMA'ed it and they sent me a brand new one. I will not be buying another down the road.
