Re: Data stream definition ADS file for the MEFI controler

Guess you need to check the output from your oil level sender.
If it is just an ON/OFF switch you could wire it with a +5v from J2-2 and then configure one of the unused pins (like J2-4 - Fuel Pressure) to act like a switch showing OK with +5 and LOW with 0v.
Are you logging a wide band?
