Wideband on AN1, AF shows a different value

Post by DaX »

I'm running an S300v3 on a P28 ECU with a PLX SM-AFR wideband. I have the wideband signal for the PLX wired into AN1 on Hondata and the narrow band signal from the PLX wired into D14 on the ECU. I'm currently running in open loop and my PLX is grounded at the thermostat. On the "Analog Inputs" tab I have Analog 1 set up with the PLX SM-AFR conversion, AFR units, and 0V offset. SManager version is 2.7.2.0.

I'm trying to datalog and use the lambda overlay feature, but when I datalog, the AFR values that are recorded in the lambda overlay are much richer than what I'm expecting (I'm getting like 11.89 when my gauge says 14.42). I dug into this some, and all the values being recorded in the lambda overlay table are from the "AF" sensor. I've datalogged AN1 on the graph, and it follows my wideband gauge exactly. How can I get the "AF" sensor and "AN1" to read the same?

On the "Closed Loop Advanced" tab, I would expect the wideband input drop-down menu to have analog inputs, but instead it only has ECU pins D14, D10, D12, and B6. I guess I'd either like to know how to either make AN1 my wideband input, or I'd like to know how to make the lambda overlay ignore the "AF" sensor and use "AN1" instead.

In regards to how I have my PLX wired up, I thought I was supposed to use the narrow band output from the PLX and send that to D14 on the ECU so that I could run closed loop. Sorry if these questions have simple answers - just trying to learn.

You can only run closed loop form the ECU inputs. The Analog inputs on the s300 itself are for datalogging only. I would recommend using the D10 ELD input. You do not need to have the narrowband signal wired into the ECU at all.

Thanks. I'll get rid of the narrow band signal, then. Should I split the wideband signal wire so that it runs to both AN1 and D10, or are you saying I should just go straight to D10 and not worry about connecting the wideband to an analog input? What is the benefit of using D10 over D14 (I'm just curious)?

Something you said brings up another question - I'm running a flex fuel sensor to AN0. In that particular case, that is not just for datalogging, correct?

You should not split the signal. Run it to D10 only: http://www.hondata.com/help/smanager/wi ... b=wideband

D14 should not be used as it cannot read the full voltage range.

Flex fuel is completely different than running closed loop from a wideband. Flex fuel will work as intended.

I just wanted to follow up that your suggestion worked. Thanks again, Spunkster.

Apparently D14 is now more than capable with the newer Bosch LSU 4.9 sensors (https://www.hamotorsports.com/pages/eld ... dification). Alternatively, why isn't D12 recommended? Does it have the same limitations as D14 as not being able to read the full voltage range (but the new sensors seem to negate that issue). My car does not have an EGR anyway and I prefer to keep my resistors in place so is there any reason to not use D12 over D10?

I just saw this for D12 (http://www.hondata.com/help/smanager/in ... ginput.htm) and this for B6 (http://www.hondata.com/help/smanager/in ... input2.htm) and now I'm starting to think D14 is my best option as far as keeping ECU as-is... as long as the 4.9 sensors work as claimed by HAMotorposrts. Can Hondata/anyone else confirm this in regards to using D14?

I was told by my tuner to just run to the analog input on the s300 v3 for my plx wideband. It’s a 670 hp b18 with type r head. Do you think this is ok to do?

I would not recommend it, as it can only be datalogged that way and cannot be used for protection, or closed loop.
