Default AEM x series gauge install problem

Hey guys,


I recently installed a triple gauge pod with AEM wideband, x series oil/fuel pressure and X series boost gauges. The wideband works perfectly. The boost and pressure gauges both read "SENS". In the manual "SENS" means that the gauge is not reading the sensor output. I tested the voltage going to both sensors (5 volts) and the voltage coming back from both sensors and both are right on per the manual. I've switched the ignition power source to the gauges and it still reads "SENS". Wiring is in excellent condition. I'm completely stumped. Has anyone other than me had this exact problem?

Hey just curious if you figured out this problem I am having the exact same problem. I installed the Trio of X-series gauges (30-0300,30-0301,30-0306) and same thing AFR works great and neither the boost or fuel pressure does anything except read "SEnS".

Looking for a fix too I am thinking I have bad sensors but just seems odd that I get 2 bad sensors.

I wasn’t able to figure it out so I went with autometer needle gauges. Funny thing is the boost/ vacuum gauge only shows boost. My car is haunted.

Well Damn... Did you ever replace the sensors or talk to AEM Tech?

I replaced the sensors and still same problem. I wound up returning one sensor and exchanging another for a brand new one. I then decided not to use it.

Try putting each gauge on its own ground.
