Problem with WB need help

Post by 92notch »

have the Zenitronix WB (ZT2) had i for about a yr now worked perfect then all of a sudden the thing just wants to read 10.0 and move every so often to 14.7 then goes back to 10.0 but pretty much just sits at 10.0 . Now I know you would think there a problem with the car. But there isnt tested my friends WB in my car and works perfect and the car is running perfect.. So what i did was went out on the internet and bought a new Sensor thinkin that could be it.But i didnt get it from Zenitronix got it from Inovative thinkin all of these setups use the same sensor ... Put that one in and same problem "huh". Now Do they all use the same sensor or did i waste my money? Im starting to think that it is the controller itself but never heard of one failing after a year but with me anything is possible i would probly get the only one that would fail. Anyone ever have this problem? Im pretty much dead in the water without one....Any input would be great
thanks

92, there are two common sensor types and several connector configurations. If you purchased one that plugged right in - then you should be all set. Otherwise you can look at the stamping on the body of the sensor where it will have the family designation such as LSU4, L1H1, etc. This designation should be the same as your original or the type specified for your controller. Hope that helps.

BTW - don't forget that running the engine with the sensor in the exhaust without running the controller (heating circuit) will damage or destroy the sensor very quickly. Always have the controller ON for the time the manufacturer recommends before starting the engine. Some controllers need nearly a minute warmup before use :!: You might want to check with the factory before running with it just in case.
