Thank you for reading this post. I am getting no ground signal from ECU. Pin 18 @ ecu found no resistance nor short to ground in harness. With ECU pluged in KEY ON and injectors unpluged I get batt voltage at injector grey/ground. My dvm pulls down voltage quickly 1 hudreth at a time till it zero out. I am suspecting a faulty ECU. #1 gn wire to injector is getting getting bat voltage. My concern is the ground. There is constant (KEY ON) bat volt to #2 grey. No pulse and no ground makes me suspect ECU. What is a good pin/bench test for this unit?

SOURCE: ECU appears to be dead

About a year or so ago, my 1991 240 Volvo was experiencing similar symptoms. Has this been an intermittent problem? (Sometimes starts, sometimes not?)
I looked at my fuses, especially fuse #6 which powers my fuel injector relay. With a friend, who is a professional mechanic, we determined fuel was getting to the injectors, but my coil spark was weak and injectors were not being pulsed. I wasted 300 dollars having the injector relay replaced, by another mechanic. Two weeks later, my car failed once again to start! It turned out to be a pitted connection at fuse #6! I inially just looked at the fuses, which were not blown, but when I took #6 out, it and the associated connector were pitted. Burnishing the connector and replacing #6 fuse has corrected this issue! If you haven't, pull your fuses, and inspect and clean the contacts! Maybe it's just that simple. Good Luck!!

Ecm fuse problems

Well if you've had your ECM burn and got it changed and the same thing happen again then there might be a pilled positive wire exposed to the body or the chassis of your car touching at some point,my best advice is to trace all positive heavy wires leading from the starter and under the fuse board as well.i hope this helps thanks

How to make your own O2 Sensor Simulator!

What is an O2 sensor simulator?
The OBD-II cars (1996-1998) have two O2 sensors to measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas. First sensor is measuring it right after gases escape engine and this data is used to adjust fuel trim of the engine, as well as catch some faulty conditions. The second sensor is located after the catalic converter, and is used to detect the health of catalic converter. The ECU expects the signal from the sensor to be oscillating from below 0.4v to above 0.6v, but not above 1.2v, every few seconds while driving.

If you install an aftermarket downpipe with no cat (which is for off-road applications only) the ECU will detect this and indicate an error (MIL). The You can reset the ECU to clear the error code.

How to build Your Own Oxygen Sensor Simulator!
The rest of the page shows how to build an oscillating signal generator with just the right frequency and voltage to fool the ECU. It is based on classical astable operating mode of 555 timer.

Don't attach it directly to the ECU right after assembly. Instead attach it to the battery and check the output. You should get approximately 0v/0.7v flipping about every 3.3 seconds when the car is not running, and 0v/0.9v when the car is running. The current should stay below 10mA.

One LED should be always on whenever the power is supplied. Another LED indicates when the output signal is high, so it should go on and off with the signal.

When tapping the ECU wires, check everything before hooking up the oscillator. The power source should read 0v when the key is removed, about 12.6v when they key is at ACC and about 14.3 when the alternator is running. The resistance between ground wire and the body shield of the ECU should be 0 ohms. And it would be best if you run the car and monitor the voltage of the original oxygen sensor wire before cutting it to make sure you have indeed got the right one. The resistance between ECU PIN #47 and ground is about 1.3 to 1.6 M Ohm.

The original sensor should still be dangling around, or plugged into the downpipe. The reason is that ECU also monitors the resistance of heater circuit inside the sensor. If you want to COMPELTELY disconnect it, you will need to measure the resistance of the heater circuit and install the right resistor between ECU PIN #72 and ECU PIN #31 Anyway, there is no need to do it if you just leave O2 sensor alone and only intercept the oxygen signal wire.

My 2005 jeep 4.0l has dtc 2302 , hesitates, replaced pcm still has code

replacing PCM is the last, why do that. which jeep,? wrangler? GC?
ECU is not bad and is almost always (GIGO) garbage in ,nets garbage out, now and for ever....
all most all errors are
1: input errors.
2: or bad output actuators or gee the engine it self.


now lets work
2302
ever see this>? or the FSM, the FSM book is way cheaper than any knee jerk ECU swap.. ouch.
http://engine-codes.com/p2302.html
out of FSM. actual
(F342) ASD OUTPUT CIRCUIT
(K19) COIL CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT OPEN
(K19) COIL CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
COIL
PCM (last ) never 1st ever....
so the coil pack is 4 pins and 3 coils, one one is hot key on.
the other 3 are 3 coils, coil 1 is bad,,
from a pure tech stand point its.
1: bad coil (open or shorted) bad wires, open or shorted or bad ECU.
we never condemn any ECU unless we do the simple lamp tests.
etc. case in point below.
here are the FSM steps, so easy to do.... (truncated, read your FSM)
1: coil 1 removed, connector.
key on is pin 2, 12v, if no fix that first. ( bad power distra. or fuse)
yes, 12v. so.
then, use a test lamp to pin 3 and ground
Pin 3 is COIL 1, !
crank car , does light flash? (any small 12v lamp works) 0.1 amps are less.
1: yes, flash PCM good, coil bad.
no?
test lamp tests continue....
2: stuck on lamp , wire is grounded out or bad PCM (pull PCM C2 conn, ? still tuck on?, yes, bad harness !
3: stuck lamp off? . this is harness wire cut or PCM bad.-
check continuity end to end on this wire. if good , bad ECU.
on a car with nice clean harnesses, no damage to conn?
its a bad coil.
the coil can in fact can be bench tested...
that to, is in the books.
(ohms tests, and make real spark) do so but do not exceed max dwell on the coil "smoke tested boom."( you need a pulse generator , or coil tester)
easy to make them .
there you go.... ECU last. for ever and ever.....

P0113 fault code at smog check

IAT (intake air temperature) sensor out of range.
It means that the ECU is reading low resistance. It could mean that you have a bad IAT Sensor, a bad ECU (Probably not), or an open (short) in the positive or ground.

Get a voltmeter. Unplug the IAT from the connector and hook the voltmeter to the positive and negative of the IAT sensor. Turn the key to the ON position (DO NOT turn the engine on). And measure voltage. It should be close to 5volts.

If you get close to 5 volts - Sensor is bad.
If you get 0 volts - Short in positive or ground wire.
If you get over 5 volts - Bad resistor in ECU

Does anyone know what a transmission code 63 is for 1993 toyota t-100 with an a340e transmission? Thanks

On the a340e transmission that would be a shift solenoid circuit malfunction. You can purchase a "solenoid kit" that comes with two solenoids and mounting bracket, they can be easily replaced by dropping the transmission pan. They are attached with a single bolt (10mm)---Remove the bolt, unplug them from the wiring harness and pop them out of the ports they are seated in. Lightly coat the o-rings of the new solenoids with some ATF and insert them into their ports.
Good luck, i hope this helps.

P0342 is set when the ECM does NOT receive a signal from the CMP snsr. You may very well have GOOD continuity between the ECM and pin 2 (000.2 ohms), but that wire, if grounded someplace (shorted to ground or to another wire in the harness), the ECM will not/does not get a clear/proper signal. Look for a problem in the wiring harness.

1999 Hyundai elantra died while driving found ecu fuse blown replaced lasted half a mile and blew again

Check your o2 sensor harness. The harness if not properly secured will rub on the axle to a point where it rubs through the insulation of the wire & shorts on the axle causing the ECU fuse (20A) to blow. Repair the harness & replace the fuse & bada bing! You should be in business! Hope that works. IF NOT follow this K.I.S.S.

Keep It Super Simple! It never fails!
