What has changed in the car since the last time it worked. Is the ethanol content new?

Nothing changed. Just battery was low voltage and it struggled to start. Started on the 2nd try and boom no sensor detected. Ethanol content has been setup for a long time

Have you tried reuploading your calibration to the ECU?

Was any other work done on the vehicle since the last time it was working correctly...even if it was an oil change, tire change...anything.

Absolutely nothing. Parked it working fine. Sat for a few days then my current predicament happened.

If you unplug the ethanol contend input does it read the wideband?

I will check it when I get home from work. Question though why would that affect it? Flex sensor has been installed since I got the kpro and is functioning properly.
