Innovate MTX-L Error message E8

An error message that comes up more often with the MTX-L is E8. The notification can have two causes:

1. Faulty sensor
   If the gauge consistently reads E8 then there is a very good chance that the Bosch Wideband Sensor is faulty. If the sensor is installed incorrectly, it may fail very soon.
   
   Solution
   – If the sensor is broken, the only solution will be to replace it with a new one.
   
   Preventing sensor failure
   When installing the wideband sensor, it is essential to follow the manual. This contains the following important points about mounting the sensor;
   
   – Place the sensor at least 60cm after the turbo or exhaust manifold (on a N/A engine)
   – The sensor should be mounted at a maximum angle of 30 degrees. Angled or downward is an absolute NO-GO!
   – Use the supplied thick welding bung
   
2. Overheat sensor
   If the code E8 appears especially at full load then it could be that the sensor is getting too hot.
   
   Solutions:
   – Place the sensor further toward the end of the exhaust.
   – Place a thicker weld bung in the exhaust, this will allow the sensor to get rid of its heat better.
