DC Voltage Output 

 The Flex Boost also has a 0V-5V DC Output signal that can be configured 
to  send  out  either  one  of  the  two  5V  generic  gauge  inputs  or  can  be 
configured to send the E85 content out as a DC voltage: 0V = E0 content, 
5V = E85 content.   Note: The DC Out signal has a weak drive strength, if 
feeding into an ECU with a pullup resistor, the Flex Boost may not be able 
to drive this signal all the way to ground.  In this event, calibrate your low 
voltage  point  accordingly  in  your  ECU.  For  example,  if  DC  Out  is 
configured  for  ethanol  content  output,  then  gas(E10)  would  normally, 
put out 0.6V,if however your ECU is reading 1.6V when the Flex Boost is 
displaying E10, then you should configure your ECU input as 1.6V = E10, 
5V = E85.  

Raw Ethanol Sensor Output 

The Flex Boost has a raw ethanol sensor output with integrated 10K 
ohm pull-up resistor to 5V that can be sent to stand alone ECUs.
