Motiv Reflex Aux1 Output

I got my Motiv REFLEX installed on my car and everything reads fine besides the Aux Output1 reading at certain times. I have seen from another person's logging channels that their aux output1 stays on 100 consistently and when the car is in boost, the aux value reflects the WGDC % while mine will read 100 then drop to 0 then on light throttle or when EfficientDynamics is applied, it shows 100. It constantly changes from 100 to 0 which leads me to assume its a bad mac solonoid or perhaps a weak battery.

If anyone has had an issue or heard of this happening feel free to comment

My reflex reads everything fine from CAM heartbeat, engine speed, and MAP voltage. Aux1 shows OK no fail so I’m assuming it must be the battery. Wiring was redone too and everything reads.

I’m gonna change out the Mac solonoid and check out the battery thanks for leaving a comment

I tried replacing the battery and the same issue occurs. I might have to get the harness and reflex box itself warranted

I replaced motiv reflex in the past to fix a CanBus problem, might be that.

With the ability to do a direct DME tune that can be modified, why wouldn't you just pick that route to get proper mapping vs a piggyback injector controller?

Motiv is more than just a piggyback injector controller.

It can control way more than just injectors. GSB boost controller isn’t my style anyways

I also need it for this guy:
