never ever hot wire any ECU. (that is rule one, why risk it, its $500 used and $1700 from suzuki new)/? why zap the most expensive part in the car.?
there is never a reason to do that.
and you missed most the pin there are many that need power. not just 2.
ever use a voltmeter before?
connect it and watch it.
if it glitches as the ECU drops dead, and the scan tool drops. then move the test lead upstream.
Id bet if you look under that fender fuse box, it's a mess. right? all salt belt KICKS fail for this. all of them... (shock tower can leak salt water there)
you are in the salt belt. right? all roads ROCK salted with NACL , on the winter roads?
just inspect all connections from battery to the fuse box, under box. across fire wall and then to fuse box 2 in cab.
is there damage, and the green slime? or hackers damage, i inspect my cars for any thing like that. I look for abnormal first.
may cars this old are hacked for a long list of crazy reasons.
remote starts
audio
alarms.
tachometer hacks.
the list goes on, but in 5min i can see that damage, oops, another hacked up car. (electrical)
that is first. then the battery minus lug off next
then looking under the main fuse fender box, oops, the green slim of salt hits copper......
suzuki even still sells the box new. amazing , and dirt cheap. unlike most other things.
like $15
