Stupid Wideband! (Vent)
Arrg... so got the LC-1 setup for christmas, and have had it installed since then... less then a month later (about 2 weeks ago) it already appears to be broken... No output signal anymore despite me rechecking all the wiring and verifying good power/ground.. the calibration wire status LED doesn't even come on like it's supposed to which can pretty much only mean that the thing somehow broke already.... no signs of damage either

Well, I guess I've got to try to find out about the warranty now..

To make it even better, the wideband sensor is probably f*cked now too because I had no time to take it out and have been driving around with it un-powered (just finally removed it today).

Damn.

Did you follow the instructions to the tee? Placement of the sensor may have to do with it, especially if it's a spot where condensation/water could easily get in.

Yea I follow them exactly, it's mounted on the DP just before the cat. I've been reading up on the Innovate forum and it seems that other people have had a lot of similar issues of the thing quitting like this. Unfortunately no solutions ever got posted, so I just started a thread on it. Hoping I won't have to send it back but we'll see..

Innovate might want to start offering some refundage then... I myself have one, not installed yet. Hopefully it's not one of these bad batch ones..

Well from what I can tell it's mostly the LC1 that has problems, not innovate products in general. Still waiting on any response on the forum though (haven't tried actually contacting them yet).

funny... this happened to the LC-1 I just installed 2 weeks ago on my friend's IS300 - it randomly up-and-quit 2 days ago. I can't get it to calibrate, and the sensor failed to heat up at all.

Maybe it's just a bad batch of them? I've sent Innovate an email, but have yet to get a response (probably because it's over the weekend).

I'm still a huge Innovate fan - the LM1 and auxbox, etc., are almost die-hard and have never done me wrong.

Yea it could be, so far the only response to my post over there is check ground and terminator plug, but I've already done that. I am still convinced that someone over has to know wtf is going on because there is a litter of posts with basically the same problem if you do a search.. just no answers

Anyways here is my thread in case anyone else has experienced this problem:

Maybe someone will tell us what's up soon!
