Please provide a wiring list (must always be present, wether universal harness or made from scratch, since impossible to do the essential verification measurements without them anyway)

* outputs

Subpage of MembersPage/MarcelBMW_M50B25_Turbo

For Vanos, see: MembersPage/MarcelBMW_M50B25_Turbo/Wiring/PfetOutputs

For ground, see MembersPage/MarcelBMW_M50B25_Turbo/GroundChecks (important, because several symptoms indicate grounding problems)

v3/15130 v3=15130 gut replacement => v3=20026

Apparently in 2019 (oid15399 repair/gut replacement) device has been replaced with brand new electronics, but if problem that caused damage in the first place is not fixed, it is likely to be an infinite cycle.

Install is started with a wiring list (must always be present, regardless if universal harness or made from scratch).

outputs

* For Vanos, see: MembersPage/MarcelBMW_M50B25_Turbo/Wiring/PfetOutputs

* '''ignch2 EC36/34 fuelpump relay-

** PLEASE CHANGE to EC36/9 or EC36/17 injout to drive fuelpump relay (relocate boost or idle solenoid to stepper out if needed)

Changed:
* grounds
* grounds, see MembersPage/MarcelBMW_M50B25_Turbo/GroundChecks
Added:
* the relay-box would also be interesting, maybe something weird ?

** (although rare, but if ECU is powered indirectly, through a solenoid, that could cause weirdness when running)

Diagnostics is not feasible before the install is started this way, with wiring list

* It is impossible to do the essential verification measurements without them anyway.

----

Grounds: list those connected, and do the measurement with breaklight as a load

* With ECU disconnected, please use a 2A (25W) brake-light bulb to flow current and measure voltage drop (should be <30mV)

** VEMS ECU has extremely strong injector and ignition outputs (10A capable) wether the engine is running or not.

** If the ECU cannot activate some of those outputs while engine is running, it is almost always related to wiring (eg. grounding) problem.

----

Outputs - please complete: list ALL connected outputs

Please note that there are several indications that this install is severely messed up and should be started to be documented as requested - all outputs, really !

* Stepper - A : Vanos (solenoid resistance: ... Ohm, - side)

** was ordered with 4 PFETs, it seems nonsense and invalid to use stepper output to drive vanos !

** Why don't you use PFET outputs ?

** Please test p259 outputs (with DVM, as 5V base, activate from VemsTune)

* ignch2 : fuelpump (relay, - side)

* ...

Changed:
When the Engine runs it does not send Ground to the relay for fan and fuelpump.

Added:
* yes, but it is likely to help (hopefully that will give some motivation...)

** On the countrary, sending the ECU anywhere in case of similar symptoms is unlikely to help, because with such symptoms the harness must be verified first, really.
