No LED with power on, injectors are open constantly.

Post by 71911 »

I have a MS II, SMDv3.57 on a Porsche 2.7 engine. I have verified that there is power and ground to the proper pins on the DB37 connector. However the LED's do not flash on to indicate that power has been applied to the M'squirt, the Tuner Studio project setup...is not communicating with the unit.....and the injectors were on constantly, which hydro-locked the engine.

Any ideas?

regards,
al

ps: this engine was running great on the test stand. Installed into my friends car now...let the debug begin

First try reloading the firmware and see what happens.

Thanks Matt, I will do that. Does my failure and that advice align with the injectors staying in the open position when power is applied to the M'squirt?

It's either something wrong with the firmware or hardware damage, and my experience is the firmware is a bit easier to damage than the hardware.
