Issue with innovate MTX-L wideband

[Vdubzr32]

I installed my innovate mtx-l wideband with no problems. I calibrated it and worked fine for a few weeks. Now it's giving me problem. It giving me error code E2. I know what E2 code means. I called innovate they say unplug the wideband and make sure you hear the (click) when pluging it back in after calibration is done. I do that the wideband will work for a few moments an then give me code E2. I bought a new sensor and still does the same thing. Any idea could it be faulty wiring fom wideband itself.

Any ideas?

This happened to me upon installation. Turns out one of my zip ties that I used to tuck away the connector wasn't allowing the connector to stay fully seated. I know you said you checked your connections but hopefully it's something simple like that and not a bad unit.

Check to make sure its fully seated at the harness to the gauge

I would re check all your connections and wiring, then maybe spray some contact cleaner inside the connectors and try again. Make sure to do the set up procedure first.

I'ma check and unplug it all ,reinstall it and check what it's does.

Thanks for the replies.

Update I disconnected everything and plugged it all back up also calibrated the O2 worked for a few hours then it started the E2 code again..... Defected harnes from innovate?

ya sounds like a bad unit to me. Only issue I ran into with the mtx-l was that when I turned the car off and activated my turbo timer, it did not stay on like it should. It killed my o2 sensor within a few months but it was my fault. I wired it to the radio instead of ignition. Haven't had any issues since after replacing the o2 sensor.

Contact innovate an tell them what's going on the may issue a return so they can check it out I think my mtx-l unit is bad sending my back this week. Maybe they'll replace the unit or replace the harness under warranty
