Innovate LC-1 Wideband O2
let me start of by saying that i am new to all of this...i don't know my head from my **** when it comes to this stuff. i bought the car with all my mods already done.
that being said, i have an innovate lc-1 wideband o2 sensor, and the innovate xd-1 digital display. after the warmup cycle is done, the display is showing 'E 4'. the tech from innovate replied to my email saying
"An E4 means that the unit is not calibrated. Please follow the calibration sequence detailed in chapter 3 of the attached manual"
unfortunatly i don't know what the hell the manual is talking about, due to the same reasons stated before about being a newbie.....
does anyone out there have one of these that can maybe translate what the hell i am supposed to do?? and why would it need to be calibrated now when it's been installed for quite some time??

I have had the same setup now for ~3 months and only had to calibrate it before installation. To calibrate you need to remove the sensor from the DP so it sees free air then push the small button on the display 3 times quickly. 'CAL' will display, press the botton one more time to confirm and let it do its thing.

If your car has been setting for atleast 6 hours you wont have the pull the sensor. Just turn your key on and let it heat up(the sensor). On the gauge, push the small button 3 times fast and it will flash CAL then push the button again and it will calibrate it.
Thats all you got to do.

DP = downpipe which is under your car. Id suggest having someone help you who knows what they are doing.

so i re-calibrated the sensor this morning.....seemed to be working fine. went to the gas station. when i left the gas station, it was f'd up again. got home, was told to do a heater calibration, then a free air calibration again. went to pull it in the garage....and everything was fine again. was fine when i went to the mall, got some lunch on the way home, and now it showed error again. WTF??

Did you figure out where it's mounted, in the down-pipe or in place of the stock sensor? How old is it, and did the previous owner run leaded gas? The LC-1 has some pretty spiffy electronics and if the sensor doesn't behave correctly due to improper installation, lead, etc. it'll carp about it.
