Interesting O2Simm anomoly Last Saturday, I installed 2 O2Simms in the rear "bungs" (sensor locations) . . . I left the 2 front ones alone.
All is perfect, except . . .
When the key is in the run position (and the motor is not started), the SES light is on (in Canada, we have a motor pic) . . . as soon as the motor is started, that light goes off. This wasn't the case before. Obviously, this is not the end of the world. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
Is this the way they all are? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
And while I'm on the subject, with our auto cars, a sadist must have designed the location of the left rear sensor - it's on top of the tranny, in front.
It took 3 beers to install it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Interesting O2Simm anomoly Thanks for responding, AzzHauler! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
But before the O2Simms were installed, when I "programmed" the PCM with my HPP3, the key was in the run position, and the SES light was off. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
No big deal . . . the HPP3 still works.
Just wonderin' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

It lets you know the light/circuit is still functioning.

Re: Interesting O2Simm anomoly That's strange . . . before the O2Simms, I remember it being off after the first few secs of checks . . . am asking 5 LS1 buds (who don't have O2Simms) this question by email now.

Re: Interesting O2Simm anomoly Thanks CrazyBosnian, BLOWNGS, Mike's 01WS6, Mike's 01WS6, and AzzHauler! You are all absolutely correct. I was absolutely, blowing smoke (and wrong).
