I did a free air calibration on my Innovate LC-1 02 air fuel ratio sensor tonight. I just grounded the black wire for a few seconds with the key on but sled not running. I did not remove the sensor because it would be a PITA right now. The sled has been sitting for 2 days so it should have been alright.

Anyways the calibration did seem to work as the digital A/F guage ran up through the #'s and then it held at 22.4. Should this sucker be reading 20.9 or is 22.4 close enough? How can I get the sensor to calibrate to 20.9?

I have read through the Innovate LC-1 instructions but couldn't find the right info on it.

Thanks.
 
Sensor Calibration
4.
Do not connect the O2 sensor to the LC-1 or in to the exhaust yet.
5.
Switch 12V supply to the LC-1 ON and wait for 20 seconds. The LED will flash a two blink sequence during this time.
6.
Switch the 12V supply OFF after 20 seconds.
7.
Connect the sensor to the LC-1’s sensor interface connector but do not put the sensor in the exhaust. The sensor must be exposed to free air for the first time calibration.
8.
Switch the 12V supply to the LC-1 ON. The LED will first blink slowly and steadily indicating that the sensor is warming up. The LED will then start a faster blinking sequence indicating a Heater calibration.
9.
Once the LED is lit steadily, press and hold the push button for 30 seconds. During this period the LED will go off. Once the button is released the LED light will come back on The LC-1 will now calibrate itself by using air as a reference gas with known oxygen content.
After the free air calibration is finished the LED should light up steady and continuously, indicating correct operation of the LC-1.
10.
Install the O2 sensor in the exhaust. The system is ready for use.
 
Also
When shown steady, free air calibration is in progress. If blinking and not going away after 5 seconds, the LM-1
requests a free air calibration as happens after a heater calibration.
Blinking CAL can also happen if the control button is pressed rapidly 3 times. Pressing it then again, initiates a
free air calibration. If this is unintentionally pressed, the CAL request goes away after 5 seconds.
 
Thanks fo the info. I did do the free air calibration but was wondering why it didn't calibrate to 20.9 but instead went to 22.4?
 
After you do the free air cal. and put it back in and run it whats your readings. You might have to hook it up to a computer and reset it

I still have to take the sled out after the calibration. The crappy thing is I bought the sled second hand and don't have any software with the LC-1 so I can't play with any settings.
