Be sure to verify that your wideband sensor outputs in the range of 0 - +5 volts if using a wideband type. To select the type in use, use the power up program mode method below: >>> >>> To select the O2 sensor type , perform the following steps: >>> >>> 1. Turn the EC3 power off. >>> 2. Select mode 5 with the Mode Select switch >>> 3. Select the O2 sensor type using the Cold Start switch: Up = Wideband, Down = Narrowband >>> 4. Press and hold the Program Store switch. >>> 5. While holding down the Program Store switch, turn on the power switch to the EC3. >>> 6. Keep holding the Program Store switch for about 1 second, and then release it. >>> 7. Return the Mode Select switch to 0. >>> 8. Power the EC3 off. When the EC3 is powered up again it will be set for the O2 sensor type selected. >>> >>> Uploaded doc to: >>> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mVzPOxUwcGUlPizxnRF40nUyKBzfT4DC?usp=sharing >>> >>> PDF version still states that B is automatically programmed when A is programmed.
