Technical '06 Panda crank sensor issue.....

[koalar]

Leave the lead on the red and white at the ECU

And put the other end on the black and purple, there is a bunch of them together

Test at ignition on, and cranking . This is the permanent supply to the ECU

The black and purple to the heatsink should be below 0.1 while cranking

 

[RDM1]

Should it be in the same loom or in another one?

 

[RDM1]

Or if you can tell me where does the black and purple go to so i can use the multimeter with continuity to find it makes it so much easier this way

 

[koalar]

They connect to a black cable that goes to the battery

It's likely to be on the other ECU connector

 

[RDM1]

Means there's no way to find it with continuity gonna have to visually find it and hope there's no similar color

 

[koalar]

This connector is very important, didn't know it existed.

All the communication lines go through here

 

[RDM1]

The plug you mentioned a while ago that is located next to engine when you told me and it turned out to be above the fuse box?

 

[RDM1]

You mean this plug with the gray lock on it? In the top middle of the picture?

 

[koalar]

I can't tell in the photo

Yelllow is mainly the starter and alternator

Blue is mainly the communication lines from the ECU to the body computer

The drawing aren't accurate

I'd undo both connector in the photo and visually check for corrosion

It rains more in Lebanon than it does here in the UK always look dry on the news

 

[RDM1]

I think this is the yellow one because the blue one is nowhere to be found in this area unless it's fixed on the fender somewhere and this is the plug with the gray lock on it

 

[RDM1]

These are the purple and black you're talking about?

 

[RDM1]

I saw one of them in this plug i just sent you a picture of

 

[RDM1]

And yes we get a lot of rain and snow and specially in my village as it ranges from 900m to 2800m altitude so we used to get a lot of snow but it's been a couple of years since we saw a decent thickness where i live (1300m) but the rain is unlike any year i have ever seen

 

[RDM1]

So how do you want me to test them?

 

[koalar]

Just look at the photo at the moment, it's tricky on this tiny phone

 

[RDM1]

Hahaha ok but you can zoom in I'm managing to steady my hand and get clear shots

 

[koalar]

Everything looks okay

That's the top one only

Starter and alternator control wires

There should be another slightly below

Unfortunately the drawing isn't very clear

 

[koalar]

These are the purple and black you're talking about?

Can you find them on the ECU plug end will probably be on the other connector to the red and white wire

 

[koalar]

Looks like someone been here before by the metal shavings?

 

[RDM1]

0v normal with ignition on? On all 4 purple and black wires
