My ECU appears as though it may have failed. My bike gives a constant FI Code 53 (Stick Coil #3 not sending required number of spark pulses to ECU) even when the bike is not running, which is odd to me.
I have the Power Commander Ignition Module and wonder if others have had any issues with it? I removed it and the PCIIIusb too, but still get the Code 53 when I turn the key on.
Question: Why do I always get the FI Code 53 when I turn the key to on and do not start the bike? Seems like the ECU would need to have the bike running in order to determine that the spark pulses are missing?
What I checked:
-I have metered out the wiring harness and all the continuity checks pass.
-I can swap stick coils #2 and #3 around and the FI Code remains #53.
-Disconnecting the stick coil harness connector on the top of the engine left side (connector for all 4 coils) still results in FI Code 53. Shouldn't I also see codes 51, 52 and 54 too?
Suspect that what ever the Power Commander IM does to the ECU input signal for moving timing around has biffed it?
Starting the bike results in Cylinder #3 not firing at all. Guess I'll have to pay the $$ for a new ECU? Any suggestions appreciated.
