I have a 2007 gtx std that is having an intermittent issue "waking up" the ECU when I place the lanyard on the DESS post.
My first thought was that the DESS post and or lanyard were bad. I pinned out the wires from the DESS post at the connection under the front compartment and it ohms good per the service manual.
Next I tested the same wires from the DESS post but this time at the ECU and same thing, it ohms per the service manual(good).
With that being said here's exactly whats going.
I can place the lanyard on the dess post and the buzzer gives 2 beeps, fuel pump cycles, I press start and she fires up. And it may do so for the rest of the day.
Now at other times I walk out to the ski, place the lanyard on the DESS post and nothing at all will happen. No beep, no display, etc.
Keep in mind when this ski doesn't respond it is still getting signal to the ECU from the DESS post. (Verified by above mentioned procedure)
To get the ski to "wake up" I have to take the lanyard on and off of the dess post several times (sometimes twice sometimes for 10 minutes straight).
Once I get the ski to wake up (buzzer beeps, display comes on, ski will start) then I can remove and replace the lanyard as many times as I want as long as I don't wait more then 30-45 seconds between putting the lanyard back on the dess post. Basically if I let it go to sleep with the lanyard off its not guaranteed it will wake up and start.
Battery is at 12.7v and passes load test.
All connections have been cleaned with electronic cleaner and coated with electric grease.
All grounds have been sanded and coated with electric grease.
All fuses are good and also making a tight connection.
Starter solenoid is new (replaced for a different issue)
I do own candoo pro, had a code for exterior temp too low and nothing else.
Cluster is married.
And I'm stumped.
I think the ECU may be my issue but needed to run this by you guys first before spending that kind of money.
Help is greatly appreciated, hoping someone had a similar issues and can get me pointed in the right direction
