the only other thing i can think of is that the sensor isnt plugged in all the way. did you take the reinforcing plastic 'wedge' from the stock sensor and pair it with the end of the ribbon cable in order to force it into the grasp of the connector? i found that to be a challenge. i even needed to trim the end of the ribbon to straighten out the wrinkles i put in when trying to push it into the connector.



Did you get your update awhile ago? They come pre assembled now.

checked all the plugs, even used the factory harness, made sure the pads were sitting flush. Still the same.

I emailed MPC stuff a few days ago, no reply yet.
