s300 Misreading Wideband Voltage

Hondata s300 V2
Hasport socketed P72 but I think it is a clone
PLX Wideaband O2
Those are the pertinent items.
For most of my testing, I am using the ignition on run with the car off. That gives me pure air for a reading on my AFR of 20 or 5v. I have taken voltage readings between all ECU ground pins and D14 which I was using for wideband input and come up with 5v give or take .03v. I have the PLX wired to A25 and A24 for power and ground. There is no voltage differential between A24 and D22 when everything is running. I have increased the size of the ground from A24 to the thermostat housing (G101) just to be sure. Power as read on the wideband and multimeter with the car on run but not actually running is just over 12v and is higher when running. When I read the ECU sensor display, I get 3.81v at the most. I changed to pin B6 to be sure it was not the input since the voltage at the ecu pin was reading 5v on my meter. The new pin still reads low. Now for the tricky part. If I start the car, I can plot a linear curve from 0v to 3.81 which corresponds to the actual voltage which should be read of 0v to 5v. I can simply account for this in the software but I would rather solve the root issue. Has anyone, any suggestions?
