Safc2 Problem

[Anquetil]

Hi, I have just wired in an SAFC2 into my stagea but have a problem, that being - it will not power off unless the battery is disconnected.

I remove the key from the igntion and it remains on. I have it wired to IGN power as it states in the manual.

This is my first time wiring in anything electrical, any ideas?

Hey bud

I don’t know if this may be the problem but have you maybe by accident wired the safc power wire to the wrong wire on the ecu? By that i mean if you had the ecu plug upside down or facing the wrong way instead of wiring it to the bottom pin you might have wired it to the top pin?

Another way to check would be using a mutli meter. At that join where the safc is connected to the ecu wire hold one side off the mutli meter ( + ) And the other side to a ground ( - ) and while the car or ignition is on it should show a voltage of approximately 12 v. After you take the key out and a delay of about 4-5 seconds it should lose that 12 v reading and go to 0. This would mean that the ecu power is working properly and there is somthing wrong with the SAFC itself. however if it does stay at 12v constant its most likley the wrong wire

See if that works. Good luck
