Sorry this may be quite long but please bear with me.

I have an Innovate LC-1 w/ DB gauge. I'm not sure if I have it hooked up correctly. Last week I wired up the WB and gauge. This is how it currently is.

WB:
Brown: ECU
Red - 12v (ignition wire)
Blue/White - same ground
Black - calibration wire
Yellow - not used

DB Gauge:
Red - 12v (ignition wire since i was getting 9 blink sequence from radio 12v)
Black - connected to the LC-1's white ground
White - connected to the LC-1's brown
Yellow - not used

The first time I tried to calibrate I held the push botton down for 20 seconds. blinks 2 x's and i release the push button. plug the sensor to the controller and hold the push botton down. It then gives me a 9 blink sequence. After reading and re-reading the manual I decided to find a new location for the 12v power.

At this point I wasn't sure if I have to hold the push button down for ON so I had a spare flip switch that I used instead of the push button. After I swapped the 12v power (to my ignition wire) I redid the calibration. I got my 2 blink sequence and after 20 seconds with the with switch flipped to ON. I flipped it to OFF and connected my sensor to the controller and flipped the switch to ON. I got fast LED blinking lights and finally a steady LED Light. I immediately turned the flip switch to off and screwed in the o2 sensor. thinking everything is fine now.

My Gauge however reads a blinking 7.4. At this point I'm thinking I messed something up. I pull out the sensor and want to go back and redo the calibration. I'm getting the initial 2 blink sequence. However after I plug up the sensor the the controller I'm still getting only a 2 blink sequence.

Do I need to recalibrate? Can I powercycle the controller and if so how can I do that?
 
thanks for the reference but i've went over that over and over.

it's no longer blinking 7.4. i've been trying to figure out why my battery keeps draiing and decided to go pick up a new battery. got home, hooked it up and i pressed the pust button. the LED stayed bright. I then put my key in and turned to on. the gauge is reading 22.0. i then put the sensor into my exhaust (slightly) and it's reading 11 - 12.

now all this was just due to a new battery. i did not change anything. strange. well now i have to figure out where/why my battery is draining.
