Hi everyone - It has been a while since my last post... which kind of shows how little I've been riding.
The bike now has 60k kms and does not like heat and traffic, which is probably why I don't ride too much.
Anyway, the tech scanned the bike and it shows short to positive or open loop for engine temp and air temp/pressure sensors. The tech suggests two new engine temp sensors, but I wanted to investigate a bit more myself. The engine temp to dash works fine.
Here's what I've done with some research.
I unplugged the engine temp to ECU harness and plugged it into the sensor to dash and the temperature shows the same, so I think the sensors are fine.
I tested the harness, the one to ECU shows 5.01v and 4.89v on the black/violet wire(which I think should be 0v) while the harness to dash shows 5.01v and 0v. I plugged back in the two sensors to their corresponding harness.
I unplugged the air temp/pressure sensors and tested the black/violet wire and that shows 5v (again I think it should be 0).
When both sensors are unplugged, the black/violet line shows 0v, but with any one sensor plugged in, it goes back to readings before.
I then proceed to test for continuity in the black/violet wire from sensors harness to the diagnostic plug and the ECU it shows 0.7.
I'm a bit lost as to where the issue is, but I think this may have contributed to the bike running hotter and crappy.
