I have noticed a lot of threads that have sensor problems that ultimately end up with bad ECU's. Is there any measures you can take to help prevent this? Would adding a ground wire or two off of the case of the ECU help any? Maybe even extra grounds from the engine to the chassis and alternator to chassis and so on and so fourth?
My ECU in my 420a went out today and after checking the CAS, CPS and other sensors that are tied together, I ultimately came to replacing the ECU. The same ECU that had been running my car for the last two years with no issues at all.
So is there anything that can be done to prevent another ECU from biting the dust? I've added more grounds, changed out the small braided factory grounds with 4 gauge wire and ground off the paint to get a better connection used lithium grease on the connectors.
What more can be done?
