Re: Do the S8 IGBT Outputs have Protection Diodes

There is a Battery Disconnect before anything, seperate from the kill switch. The ECU gets 12V from its own fuse, so its still on and logging even when you hit the kill switch. Kill switch opens an independent relay that breaks the power supply to all of the fuel and ignition systems, which has alwa...

Its any of them. Only when the kill switch relay is open though though, elsewise they toggle normally between Batt and 0. Its only when they're floating that they have that intermediate voltage. I know its nothing in the Setup that's off. These S8's have been in constant use for years without issue....

Going through checks and trying to rule out things I hadn't noticed before. Figured it was just because I had never had cause to look previously: The outputs are floating at around 7.5V when off, and I got a relay that doesn't seem to like that. I'm an EE, and my thought was that it could making a v...

Do the S8 IGBT Outputs have Protection Diodes

Good afternoon, I'm chasing down some intermittent issues on a nearly decade old S8

Do the IGN1-8 and/or Fuel1-16 outputs have any protection diodes?
