MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
UEGO Sensor Mounting

A high flow stainless steel weld-in sensor bung is supplied for sensor installation
(additional sensors & bungs are available 30-2063). The bung is specifically designed
so the sensor can provide accurate AFR readings with minimal flow intrusion and
survive extreme exhaust gas temperatures. Pick a mounting location(s) that allows for
easy access to the sensor(s). The sensor tip must be exposed to exhaust gas in order
to give accurate AFR readings. For thin wall tubing, drill a 15/16” hole and weld in the
bung. For thick wall tubing/ castings, drill a 1 1/16” hole and weld in the bung. The
sensor must be mounted at an angle of at least 10 degrees from horizontal in order to
prevent liquids from collecting in the sensor housing. See Figure 2 below. NOTE:
THE OPTIONAL AEM EBP (EXHAUST BACK PRESSURE) KIT (PART # 30-2064)
MUST BE USED IF SENSORS ARE MOUNTED PRE-TURBO.

FIGURE 2. Sensor Bung and Sensor Mounting

Controller Mounting

Mount the controller using the supplied 6-32 x 1 ¼ stainless steel screws and nuts. See
Figure 3 and Figure 4 for mounting holes and footprint size.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INDICATOR LIGHTS
The AEM 4 CH UEGO controller has eight indicator LEDs, one Status and one Ready
LED for each channel (Figure 5). Both Ready and Status LEDs flash during sensor

Page 4
warm up. Once the UEGO sensor reaches operating temperature, usually within 30
seconds, the Status LED will turn off and the Ready LED will remain on solid. If a
UEGO sensor error is detected, analog output will switch to approximately +5V and both
LEDs will flash. The Status LED will flash on and off a number of times, followed by a
short pause, signifying an error code. The error codes are listed below in Table 1.

# of Flashes Fault Corrective Action

1 UEGO sensor heater open
2 Virtual Ground (VM) Error
3 Nernst Cell (UN) Error Check sensor cable for
4 Pump current (IP) Error broken wires/shorts
5 UEGO sensor heater time out
6 UEGO sensor heater short
7 System voltage below 10 volts dc Check electrical system

and proper function
TABLE 1. Error Codes

When there is no UEGO sensor connected to a particular channel, the Status LED of
that channel will remain on solid and the Ready LED will turn off after a few minutes.
The remaining channels with UEGO sensors connected will function properly.

When the exhaust back pressure kit (30-2064) is used, the 4 CH UEGO controller will
monitor exhaust back pressure. (NOTE: The 4 CH UEGO controller is designed to
work with a specific AEM pressure sensor. Do not use any sensor other than the
one included in the Exhaust Back Pressure Kit.) If a pressure sensor error is
detected, the 4 CH UEGO controller turns off all Ready LEDs and flashes Status LEDs,
starting with CH1 and ending with CH4. The analog output voltage level for all 4
channels switches to approximately +5V to signify an error.

BACK PRESSURE COMPENSATION (OPTIONAL)
UEGO sensors are extremely sensitive to pressure. Without an EBP kit (30-2064),
UEGO sensors mounted before the turbocharger will give inaccurate AFR readings due
to back pressure. When the EBP kit is installed correctly, the 4 CH UEGO controller will
output accurate AFR readings. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD UEGO
SENSORS BE MOUNTED PRE-TURBO WITHOUT USING THE EBP KIT.

When using multiple 4 Channel UEGO controllers on twin turbo or dual bank engines, it
is recommended that an EBP kit is used for each controller as back pressure levels can
vary per bank. When using multiple 4 Channel UEGO controllers on single turbo
engines, such as an inline 6, it is possible to share a single EBP source. To share a
single EBP source between multiple controllers, the green and black EBP wires for each
controller must be tied together as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Use extreme caution
when modifying the harness as improper connections may result in inaccurate AFR
readings. Be sure to cover all connections with moisture resistant heat shrink or
equivalent covering.

UEGO ANALOG OUTPUT

The analog output from the 4 CH UEGO controller is a linear dc voltage signal that
varies from 0.5 Vdc at 8.5:1 AFR Gasoline (0.58 Lambda) to 4.5Vdc at 18.0:1 AFR
Gasoline (1.22 Lambda). The signal is used for sending information to a data logger or
an engine management system such as the AEM EMS or F/IC. The transfer function
for the output is listed below.

AFR Gasoline = 2.375(V) + 7.3125

For example, if the output is 2.0 Vdc, the AFR is 12.06:1

2.375 * 2.0 + 7.3125 = 12.06

AEMNet NETWORK
The AEMNet is designed to provide easy installation & communication between
compatible AEM devices. The 4 CH UEGO controller outputs Lambda values of all four
channels and other useful information via the network. If using a non-AEM device to
communicate with the 4 CH UEGO controller, refer to the section " Connecting To the
AEMNet Network Using a non-AEM Device” below.

4 CH UEGO controller information:

• Lambda values (all 4 channels)

• Error messages (all 4 channels)
o UEGO sensor Error
o System low power Error
o EBP sensor error
• Cylinder Configuration Mode (1 – 7), refer to Table 3.
• Exhaust Back Pressure sensor value in PSIg
• Exhaust Back Pressure sensor status

Page 7
There are 7 different cylinder numbering combinations available on the AEM network.
The different combinations allow for easy installation and data analysis, and allow users
to connect up to three 4 Channel UEGO modules on the AEM network. See Table 3
and the figures below for recommended connections on some of the more common
engine configurations.

TABLE 3. UEGO sensor connection

For example, Chevrolet big block engines require two 4 CH UEGO controllers. The first
unit connects to cylinders 2, 4, 6 and 8 using MODE 4 (see Table 3). UEGO 1 connects
to cylinder 2, UEGO 2 to cylinder 4, UEGO 3 to cylinder 6, and UEGO 4 to cylinder 8.
The second unit connects to cylinders 1, 3, 5 and 7 using MODE 3. UEGO 1 connects
to cylinder 1, UEGO 2 to cylinder 3, and so on.

Honda / Acura V6 engines also require two 4 CH UEGO controllers. As shown in

Figure 8, Mode 6 and 7 from Table 3 are used. UEGO 1, 2, 3 of the first 4 CH UEGO
controller connect to cylinders 1, 2 and 3. UEGO 1, 2, 3 of the second unit go to
cylinder 4, 5 and 6. Unused channels can be left unconnected.

Cylinder Mode Configuration

NOTE: Only applicable when using AEMNet.

Configuration mode is selected during the power up sequence. By factory default the 4
CH UEGO controller is in MODE 1. There are three wires, CONFIG 1 (pink), CONFIG 2
(purple) and GROUND (yellow) under the sleeve on the wiring harness (Figure 9). To
change the mode, first make sure the 4 CH UEGO controller is powered off. Connect
CONFIG 1 to GROUND and power the 4 CH UEGO controller on. Tap CONFIG 2 to
the GROUND wire. The 4 Channel UEGO controller will jump to the next mode every
time the CONFIG 2 wire is tapped to the GROUND wire. The LEDs will illuminate to

Page 9
show the selected mode. The number of Status/Error LED’s illuminated corresponds to
the mode selected. When a desired mode is selected, disconnect both CONFIG wires
from the GROUND wire. The mode will be saved in the controller and the LEDs of the
corresponding mode will blink three times. When more than one 4 CH UEGO
controller is connected to the net, the controllers must be in different modes.
Upon powering up, the number of LEDs corresponding to the mode will blink three times
to indicate the mode. For example, if in mode 7, 7 LED’s will blink 3 times.

FIGURE 9. Mode Configuration Wires

Connecting to the AEMNet Network

Each 4 CH UEGO controller wiring harness has 2 connectors for accessing the AEMNet
(Refer to figure 10), one for accessing the network and the other for an expansion to
other devices.

FIGURE 10. AEMNet Connector

Page 10
To join the AEM network, connect the Deutsch male connector to the female connecter
of other AEM devices in the network (Figure 11).

FIGURE 11. AEMNet cable connection

Connecting To The AEMNet Network Using a non-AEM Device with CAN

Each AEMNet connector has 4 pins, CAN+ (PIN1, White), CAN- (PIN2, Green) and two
pins for power carry-over (PIN3 and PIN4, Red and Black). NOTE: Pin numbers are
located at the back of the connector. Non-AEM devices can connect to the AEMNet by
connecting their CAN +/- wires to the CAN+/- wires on the AEM network. The parts for
mating connectors are listed below and shown in Figure 12.

• Deutsch DTM04-4P (Receptacle connector)

• Deutsch 1060-20-0122 (Pins)
• Deutsch DTM06-4S (Plug connector)
• Deutsch 1062-20-0122 (Pins)

Figure 12. Connector Assembly

Page 11
NOTE: the 4 CH UEGO controller has one terminating resistor. If an additional
terminating resistor is needed, one must be installed on the other device.

Network Message Structure

The 4 CH UEGO controller transmits two messages through the CAN network. The first
message contains Lambda values of all four channels and is transmitted every 10 ms.
The second message, transmitted every 40 ms, includes error flags, cylinder
configuration mode, EBP sensor readings and status. Messages are transmitted in 500
Kbps and use extended format message ID (29 bits). Appendix A shows entire
message protocols, including message IDs, number of bytes, data field, etc.

Lambda values are scaled up by 10,000 to retain decimal points. For example, if a
value of 9,876 is received as a lambda value from a 4 CH UEGO controller, the actual
lambda value is 0.9876. Use the following equation to derive the actual lambda value:

Actual Lambda value = Lambda from a message / 10,000

The back pressure value is scaled up by 100. Use the following equation to derive the
actual back pressure value.

Actual back pressure value (PSIg) = pressure from a message / 100

NOTES
If further tuning help is needed be sure to visit the video gallery or performance
electronics forum at www.aemelectronics.com for comprehensive instructional videos
and information.

The UEGO sensor contains a ceramic module and should not be subject to mechanical
or thermal shock or it may be damaged. The sensor is not designed for operation on
leaded fuels; doing so will dramatically shorten sensor life. Long term running in the rich
region (Lambda < 0.95) will shorten sensor life. High exhaust temperatures (over 850C)
will shorten sensor life. Engine oil consumption at a rate greater than 1 quart per 1,000
miles will shorten sensor life. With the UEGO Sensor installed, do not run the engine
without power applied to 4 CH UEGO controller.
