If the wiper is bad you'll get jumping data. Graph the live data if you ever get a step in the value you just confirmed it's shot.
Hello Andrew thanks for the response. I checked the live data again this morning and to my eyes, it's not really stepping big digits. Maybe it will skip from 4 to 6, but nothing more than two digits. Is that what you meant by jumping data? and by repair kit, I asssume you are talking about this? My question is, if the sensor is bad how come it still shows live data? I don't mind opening the panel to remove the sensor but I want to make sure the sensor is actually bad and the error isn't showing because of my previous DME replacement. Thanks!
