Ecu Switch Off Of Aux Heater

[marinabrid]

hi again, after spending 5 hours changing the glow plug and it not firing up i wonder if its got disabled by the ecu as it appears on here that after 5 non starts that is what happens, in that case would i still be getting the voltage readings on the block connector on the aux heater unit

the wires are showing 14 volts with engine running , would the voltage be there is it had been disabled ? the thing is totally dead but with lives going in to it. :blink:

thanks

Yes the voltage would be there. The heater has it's own controller on board and there is nothing in between it and the power supplies to stop it.

Martin - 5 hours????

 

Yep you are right though, after 5 failed attempts the ECU blocks it firing up... you could always leave the battery disconnected overnight to clear the fault.... (I think ithis still works..)

I have on my desk a 12 volt pump, a timer and a relay. I just need to build a circut to amplify the timer output from 2uA to something that can switch a relay.

 

Then I will have all I need and it will have cost about
