Technical Couple of Cinq questions :)

[lukew]

Hi all

I've just put an 899 engine in a 1999 Robin and have a few loose ends to sort out on the electrical side.

Not important but annoying is a wire I can't identify in the 4 pin connector with the switched live, MIL feed and CODE connection to the ECU. It's violet with a black trace and looks like it's for carrying a bit of current, about 0.5 mm2.

I've removed the immo from the ECU as I didn't have the origianl CODE unit, however it's something I'd like to add. I have an Alfa 156 with a CODE (1 I think) system. Are the various systems compatible or do I need to find myself an older or Cinq/Sie specific one?

Finally the evap system is not fitted, however I'd like to get rid of the MIL. Any ideas on what value resistor will be enough to fool it into thinking it's still there?

Thanks for any help

Sounds like a fun project


But WAAAY too electrical for me

Interesting he evap system being disconnected brings on the mil? Mine logs a code in the ecu but doesn't bring the mil on.

I have removed by evap system but simply plugged the solenoid back in to stop the code being generated. Could you not give that a go?

The cable isn't for the fuel pump relay by any chance?

way over my head...wonder if anyone on multiecuscan group could advise?

Exactly what I was thinking.
Sounds very familiar from when I fitted a rev-counter to my 899 Cinq.

As for the Code system.
I’m very sure that early 156 were Code2 and later ones Code3.

Code1 was the master key system and the 156 never had that.

Well I was being a derp, the immo and evap don't cause the MIL to come on.

The black/purple wire goes off to the engine side of the loom and isn't related to the fuel pump, not sure where it goes.

I'll try get hold of the right immob for the ECU at some point just because, makes that bit harder to steal
