My older brother is a mechanic, and his shop has a Genisys scanner/computer. That thing is pretty cool. We logged on the sensor on the osciiliscope and went back and took a look at it. Found out the signal was not a constant signal, it would do like one ong signal then a few short signals and do them randomaly.

I have read that some people get the light and some don't. The only coe that was even stored was an 02 sensor Bank 1 code about it not switching fast enough from lean to rich.
I am changing it out next week, due to no funds this week.
