hooking up ms1 extra and innovate lm1
rpm - 9/7/10 at 03:28 PM

as per the title, i've borrowed an innovate lm1 sensor and obviously i can see the afr and voltage readings on this, how can i get to see these readings on tunerstudio? as there is only one sensor wire from the ms1 ecu i assume it will only read as a narrowband? it's all getting a bit confusing
thanks for any pointers

on the lc1 you connect the ms1 to one of the lc1 outputs and configure the lc1 ans ms1 to read the same values/setup.

the one wire from the ecu is looking for a voltage from the lc1/lm1

You also need to check you settings in configurator, by default its this so you should be okay

00055 # set INNOVATE_0_5_LINEAR "Innovate, PLX 0-5V 10-20:1 AFR"

If you are going to use autotune then you widen the parameters initially then close down as the map develops, I had a lot of success with this.

thanks for the replies so far, keep them coming it'll give me something to do tomorrow

1 wire (and a common earth) is fine.

You need to first communicate with the LC-1 via its serial interface. For this you need the little "headphone" type connector. You can then configure the LC-1 to give the output that the MS1 is expecting.
0V = 1:10
5V = 1:20


Then you need to feed the signal line into the MS1 37D connector. 23




I think with these values that you don't need to monkey with the ini file, but I am not sure.

Make sure you power up the Lambda sensor while the engine is running, as otherwise you can damage the sensor. Worth reading the instructions for LC-1

ok, on this lm 1 unit the " headphone " type jack plug which plugs into the analog out socket has 3 wires, a red , a white, and a bare copper, which of these do i connect to the ms1 signal wire?

oops didn't realise it was lm-1.

I don't know. Maybe read the manual.

Probably my fault as i explained how the setup worked with the lc1 as I have no experience of the lm controller or its set up/ outputs

thanks for the user manual link Matt, i think i should be able to work it out from that
