Wideband Sensor Life Discussion
Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2016 11:04 pm
ok so why does one differ from other. in terms of sensor control?
doesn't company test it under less than ideal conditions before releasing it on the market?
I mean innovate seems to need near ideal conditions for sensor to last any reasonable time. they even say that replacing sensors every year is normal with mtx-L I called them twice and got that response from them that its normal to have to replace sensors every year its a "wear item"
is it the chip used or power supply or software that makes the difference?
can the circuit be damaged by poor installation for example if my car has corroded battery terminal and bad chasis ground. (not that it does, but I had that happen before after washing the engine bay)
how does a 4.2 lsu last so long in a vw bettle for example(which has far less than ideal conditions) but cant last for more than few years with aftermarket wideband controller?
