2009 venture lite ECU ??

[Mattcull]

I think my ecu is fried. Any help...
I was wondering if i can test it somehow?
I don't know of anyone with an ecu to switch with.

I have engine code 43 right now

last week engine code 81 came up. but only after the hand warmers were on for a period of time.

So now i turn the key and nothing happens. I hear a ticking sound from the buzzer and that's it.

So...I'm thinking ecu is done. Where's the best spot to buy one? Can I test it to make sure its busted. I looked for any wires that were creating a short or such thing, no luck.

try using a boost pack on it. sounding like a bad/dead battery atm. also sounding like the ground blocks need attention and that can cause some code issues.

k will def try the battery boost thing. I did check the ground blocks. I found two of them, both looked to be in good shape. is there more?

this thread has some good tips/info.

Like @maim , I'm also thinking it's a ground or power issue. Check the things mentioned in that other thread. If you can get it started with a booster or after charging, check your voltage for proper stator output (~14v)

Well I did get it started with the booster! So that’s good news. I recently replaced the stator - and for 14.7v as the output. I’ll check again. I wonder if the battery is just toast?

it will take a charge but perhaps isn’t holding it well? Man this electrical stuff is a pain.
Thanks for all the help guys! I really appreciate it!

I checked the voltage at the battery when running ... it’s 14.3v

but then why does the battery die? Batteries sure are a mystery . Guess it’s time for a new one

If it's original, I'd just replace it. Probably got damaged getting run down from the bad stator. At least you know it's working fine now.
