ej18 into MY wiring harness woes

stinky · Post by **stinky** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 6:33 pm

I think we cut one too many wires when stripping the harness. The end result is an ECU which seems to not be powering up, and therefore isn't running the fuel pump or anything.

Has anyone got a soft copy of the appropriate wiring diagram, or off hand know if there is a constant power wire going to the ECU?

I've got a wire going to the ignition circuit, and a big thick yellow wire going straight onto the +ve battery from the ignition relay, but I think the ECU needs some sort of power to it to actually be able to trip the ig. relay.

Also does anyone know of a way to test that the ECU is powering up? doesn't seem to be any lights inside it.

Have sent it to you in an e-mail paul .

Symptoms:

1) Ignition relay not clicking when turn key to 'on'
2) EFI ( VL ) Fuel pump not getting power from ECU

I've got a thick yellow wire from the Ig relay to +ve through a 20A fuse. Test light shows power to at least this point.

I've got a wire going to Ignition power, Test light shows this gets power. Traced to wire into ECU and test light lights up there too.

I've got another wire going to the Starter +ve. ( can't remember if I tested that, will test tonight ).

The engine plugs are all plugged in, the Oil temp isn't, but the 02 sensor is.

I'm told this should be enough to start the engine, but it doesn't.

Any ideas ?

Perhaps this will shed some light.

Looks like there should be a yellow-red wire going from constant 12v. Fuse diagram shows it on a 10a fuse, so I should be able to use an inline fuse and dump it straight onto the +ve terminal.

Nope that wasn't it. I had that wire going into the ignition wires. I redid it into 12v constant and still no joy. :/

help!

Sending pm with details you need ( 95%sure anyway)

Fury came through with the win!

There was another wire ( Yellow with black stripe ) that needed to go into the Ignition circuit. Now I get the Ig and Fuel relays click ( fuel clicks probably twice a second, but I think it's supposed to do that? ) The EFI pump turns on.

I need to get some better clamps and fuel hose as there's a couple of leaks at the joins, so I haven't tried to turn the engine over too much yet.

I'll get better hoses/clamps tomorrow and see if I can get her started.

It's getting close!

Was the file I sent of any help.

Paul, can you send me a copy of the pin out that you got. Will be kind of handy to have a look at it. I heard back from Al about it. Pretty much said exactly what you have already learnt.

Fury · Post by **Fury** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 7:43 pm

Brett, If you want, I can do some of those as a quick reference, as far as pinouts , schematics and voltages and fault codes for ecu's - so they can be posted as downloads. Paul's was just a roughy, as I couldnt copy the files - had to scan hard coppies etc.

I have several models available ( not just Subies), so if you want...i can do a few that are popular, or send you the disk ( its only a demo for 14 days - installed yesterday) Cant say what it is, as it is heavily copywriten - and used by mechanical workshops.

I can PM you with details. I know you have the FSM's up there, but these are a simple reference..

I'm pleased that it was a help Paul

Fury and stinky you're legends, thats heaps easier to understand than the FSM pages I've got, I'm greatful to have them but they take some serious thinking to figure out.

So now for the real question, have you started it yet

Jordan.

stinky · Post by **stinky** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 9:54 pm

No, I got home super late as I had an inner CV on the brumby pull itself apart.

Will get it started this weekend tho!
