 Reverse powering a 2G DSM ECU is bad a thing. ​ This can happen when you try to jump start the car while having the positive and negative cables reversed, for example. ​ This will almost always leave the ECU in a non-functional state. ​ And, unfortunately,​ this often means the ECU is not reasonably repairable. Reverse powering a 2G DSM ECU is bad a thing. ​ This can happen when you try to jump start the car while having the positive and negative cables reversed, for example. ​ This will almost always leave the ECU in a non-functional state. ​ And, unfortunately,​ this often means the ECU is not reasonably repairable.
  
-A quick check to see if the ECU might be repairable or not is to open the ECU case and check diode D103.  A picture of this diode is below for illustration.+A quick check to see if the ECU might be repairable or not is to open the ECU case and check diode D103.

 If that diode is blown to bits, then the ECU is not repairable. ​ If the diode has managed to stay intact, then you're probably one of the lucky ones and your ECU can be restored with a simple track repair! If that diode is blown to bits, then the ECU is not repairable. ​ If the diode has managed to stay intact, then you're probably one of the lucky ones and your ECU can be restored with a simple track repair!
