Knock controller test on a Lightning

Jonny glad to hear you got some testing done and it sounds very promising.

I dont know if I missed it or not but do you have any pics of the unit installed?

Drat, looks like I deleted them.

Not much to see, though. We temporarily stuck the unit in the console tray, then routed the harness cables through an existing grommet in the firewall, where Stew ran the line for his boost gauge.

The knock sensor cable runs up to the front of the driver's side cylinder head, where the Bosch sensor is mounted on an unused 8mm stud.

The main cable is routed behind a cover at the top of the firewall, then over to the connector area near the battery.

Stew had the manuals showing the wire colors for the eight coil wires. Four are in one connector, four in the other.

The light was fading on us so we used a flashlight, but it changed the colors of the wires, and I made a couple of boo boos. Good thing I brought extra Vampire taps.

Yes, it's so promising Stew won't give it back. Systems have been shipping since last June. These software improvements are going into all versions.
