ECU Pin Voltage Testing

FAULT FINDING.

WARNING: The microprocessor is an extremely sensitive and expensive unit, and should only be tested using a digital type multi-meter with no less than a 3.5 digit display, and a resistance of no less than 2 megaohms any other form of multi-meter will irreversibly damage the microprocessor.

The control pins are mounted very close together, therefore, there is a high risk of shorting two pins together when using a test probe.

Two pins shorted together even momentarily, will cause irreparable damage to the control module.

To avoid shorting two pins together an insulated sleeve or shroud must be fitted over the probe so that it overlaps the end of the probe by approximately 3 mm. The insulation stripped from a piece of cable will provide suitable sleeve.

Always allow time for servos to come to rest.

Automatic check will require setting all sensors to known condition, ie in workshop area at 24°C (75°F) for at least 30 minutes.

Sensor inputs will relate to ambient temperature, ie at 24°C (75°F), sensor voltage readings will be 2.97V (10mV= 1°C (33.8°F)).
