MS-II daughter card prolem?
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2009 12:44 pm
Hey everyone,
I've had my megasquirt up and running for nearly 2 months. just about have all the quirks sorted out.
Anyhow, its a version 3 board with the MS-II daugther board.
as I stated everything seemed fine. I had noticed In the factory wiring diagram that the 2 "banks" of injectors were spliced together in the wiring harness. this was keeping me from running alternating squirts and I wanted to try that to see if I could get the idle to be more stable.
Today I tore into the harness today to bi-sect the two circuits, when I started it, It was only running on one bank. apparently it was running both banks on one driver before. I "very hopefully" tested the wiring and that was OK. so I pulled the case apart on the megasquirt and found that Q1 had no input. I got out the schematics out and traced back through U4 (input and ouptut A) and to the MS-II daughter card where I found a flat 5V at pin 21 (PWM0-1) This tells me that the pin is connected to the circuit and appears to indicate a fault within the daughter card itself.
does anyone have any suggestions about what I may have missed? Or is there any likely problem with the board (that I have overlooked) that would have taken out the Daughtercard?
