powering up g4 storm unit

Recommended Posts

put unit into car without 5a fuse on 14v line

 

turned on ignition and ecu powerd up and getting 10.6v back out the ecu on the 14v line in

 

ecu is doing everything that it is meant, put the 5a fuse back in and there is no affect on unit

 

is it possible it is getting a back feed from incorrect aux output configuration

 

its for a ver 4 impreza my98 car

 

aux 1 - isc close - swith to earth to operate - when not in use ouputs 12v

aux 2 - isc open - switch to earth to operate-

aux 3 - boost solenoid - switch to earth to operatre

aux 4 - tacho output

aux 5 - fuel pump relay -  swich relay to earth to operate

aux 6 - not used -

aux 7 - check engine light

aux 8 - purge solenoid

 

wee bit of help required

the g4 storm ecu states the 3 wire iscv must have resistance greater than 10 ohms

 

the subaru 3 wire iscv has resistance of 9 ohms on the coils

 

with this it is giving me a back feed and powering up the ecu from an aux output

 

can i use two relays for the ecu to switch which will in turn operate the iscv opening and closing functions as just tested my spare iscv to check on a battery which operated fine, or do i add in two 10 ohm 25 watt resistors to increase the resistance  but will this make the opening /closing functions slower as only will get 6 volts across each coil and resistor

 

cheers neil

The Subaru ISC will be fine.

The resistance will not be the cause of the back feed.

It is only an issue if the ECU powers when the key is off.

There is a big section in the PCLink help file on how and why back feeds occur and how to avoid them.
