Title: Battery wire for ECM
Post by: oldguy on February 19, 2023, 07:19:22 pm
I have a wire on the engine battery that I believe is supposed to go to the EMC. From the wiring
diagram there should be 2 going to the EMC. The wire I have is not hooked up it is just hanging
near the isolator. I have tried to trace it before but at least now I know it goes to the battery and
is fused. If it is supposed to go to the EMC any one know where. The engine seems to run fine and
the only thing that I fine out is the voltage on my Silverleaf reads about .6 volts lower than it actually
is.

At the isolator or battery.

I'm assuming there is no wire number on it? Tone generator may help

I know where the wire goes Scott. One end is on the battery and the other end is coiled up near the
isolator. I'm wondering where it is suppose to go. I have a wire tracer and I think it would be impossible
to find a lot of things in a coach with out one.

Yes the previous owners did quite a few changes and left all the old wires in that I have cleaned
out. The only thing the wiring diagram shows 2 wires going to the ECM.
