no ideas?
Looking for ideas here. Ive been having an intermittent code 24 and 25 for some time now. Its a coil short or open to ground. One is front and the other is rear. I tested the coil with an ohm meter and it tested just barely out of range so i bought a new one. Still have the same issues.
Tested the voltage at the coil and its equivalent to the battery voltage so the wiring is good. Resistance checks out on the wires themselves to the ecm.
Ive been through everything in the troubleshooting guide except for the part at the end that says replace ecm. I would be more willing to do that if the bike didnt run or the code was constant but they are intermittent like I said before. Anyone have any ideas? Or an ecm i could borrow for a little bit to test (im in kalamazoo MI and i understand if no one wants to do this)? Maybe buy one if you have an extra? I have an 04 so anything up through 07 should work.
This is the troubleshooting guide ive gone through. It seems like if it was the ecm the code would be constant? This doesn't specify anything about intermittent codes. Other than the wiggle test but that hasn't had an affect on anything.
Well to update my own thread in case anyone reads this in the future. I replaced the ecm and it seems to have fixed the intermittent light. I dont have many hours on the bike so far but early results look good.
Seems odd a bad ecm could cause an intermittent issue and still run fine but you cant argue with results.
Just did a TPS reset on my buddies 03 XB9S and saw these codes (24-25) along with a low idle 750-850rpm's with the TPS set to 5.1 from the last reset I did for him about 2 months ago. AFV was at 105, I saw a historic error of 36 for the fan on the last reset I did for him. These codes are intermittent like yours were, I probably won't see him for another month to check voltage but I'll forward this thread to him and see what he wants to do about it.
Kona, ever since the ecu swap you haven't had these come back? did they mess with the way the bike was running at all? Do you think it was the actual terminals that were going bad in the ecu? Do you think a stock eeprom flash over could correct it? Did you go with a brand new unit?
I did a proper TPS reset 0 to 5.1 with AFV reset to 100 but the bike wouldn't even run. I ended up having to set TPS to 6.3 and AFV back to the 105 and it still idles kind of low (850ish) and wanted to stall when the engine was cooler than the 180c than when we set it.
