- | ====== Overview ====== | + | ====== Blown Sensor Ground ====== |
There are two separate grounds as far as the ECU is concerned. There's a low-current ground shared by many of the analog sensors in the car and a high-current chassis ground. If you install a high-current device, like a WBO2 kit for example, powered off sensor ground or you short an O2 sensor somehow, you can blow this ground track inside the ECU. If the track is burned, you need to fix whatever caused it to burn or else after repairing the track, you'll just blow it again or, worse, blow something else in the ECU if your repaired track is stronger than the original. | There are two separate grounds as far as the ECU is concerned.
