2G LC1 Wideband calibration wire?

[YUPOK]

I just installed a used LC1 wideband with new sensor. Going thru the calibration steps, i held the calibration button for 20 seconds with sensor unplugged. When I go to the next step, sensor plugged in, it just flashes 9 times with a 2 second gap. So error 9 is for low voltage. My battery reads 12.3 volts and checking the pins at the module itself I got 12.2 volts. I saw a note that it had to hold a 3 amp draw but I have it on a 15 amp fuse.

I double checked all my connections, grounds etc. all good.

Is my controller bad?
Is there a way to reset and try calibration again?
Is there a way to test a used wideband controller?

Any help is appreciated.

Ok so found the problem there was a bad ground. Easy fix. Now I have another question.

The BLACK calibration wire from the controller is supposed to split, one will go to the push button and the other to the LED then both will ground.

The problem is this will bypass the switch because the LED is always completing the circuit, and therefore will always be lit up.

Is the correct way to go from the calibration wire to the switch then to the LED then ground? This would prevent the LED from being always lit and the function of the switch will complete the circuit.

If I understand the purpose of the calibration wire, when it is grounded it switches to calibration mode. So if it is always grounded, then it will always be in cal mode?

no it wont always be in cal mode. the led is probably acting as a logic gate, when the button is pushed, it creates a short to ground and inverts the gate

Ok that makes sense.

I tried it both ways and was able to calibrate the sensor with the same result. The only difference with my theoretical wiring is that the light does not stay on all the time.

So I think both work fine, I just wired it a little different so that the light only comes on when the button is pushed and when the button is released, the light stays off.

Would you agree or am I wrong on this?
