R34 GTR ECM/ECCS Relay power source

Hi Everyone,

For some unknown reason my ECM/Coil relay is not getting its supply power, as such the ECU is also getting no power on pints 49/59.  I have spent days trying to locate the reason for this and need some assistance in confirming a few things regarding R34 GTR wiring.

First thing of course was that I've checked all the fuses.  Initially the top row-left use (10A Electrical components fuse) was blown.  I replaced it, and it has not blown again since.

The ignition circuit that switches ground to one side of the ECCS relay is functional. 

I have tried hot-wiring power to the ECCS relay by connecting pin 3 to +12V, and the relay operates as it should and the ECU powers on properly. So there's my fix should I give up on fixing this issue properly.

The next thing I started to bypass was the aftermarket black widow alarm system, as I suspected the immobiliser relay may have gone open circuit (although it does click).  Bypassing most of these circuits, (and confirming the immobiliser relay was actually switching) was easy to confirm.  Still no go.

Yes I run a Haltech ECU, which in theory ignores the factory immobiliser.  But the immobiliser is still in the car, and there might be a fault with it. 

Does the factory immobiliser isolate the ECM relay?

Other than at the fuse box, is there another place in the car that I can check the power to the ECM relay?

Other than the alarm install, the loom is relatively unmolested.

Any idea's or suggestions appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Ian

Fixed it, and it was more simple than I had thought.

ECCS relay power comes from the fuse box at the back of the car, being constant/unswitched power. 

Who knows the odds of blowing an IGN Electrical components fuse and a rear constant power fuse at the same time.  Possibly something to do with my upgraded ignition/haltech or all of the above. 

Either way who cares, so long as I can drive the car again!

Have the same problem with my friends R34 and at the same time coolant all leaked... strange ... will check the fuses at the back first.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay  
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
