P59 parasitic draw issue
1994 S10 LS Swap with a Current Performance Wiring harness
2004 P59 Van ecm w/DBC/IAC controls
This truck has been swapped for 7 years. Originally it was a 5.3/4l60e. Over time things changed. This year I swapped to a 4l80e. I tried to segment swap my old ecm, and it bricked. When it did I swapped to a P59. I had to move some wires as well as add some grounds (could be issue #1) When the 4l80e was swapped in, the original harness was not made long enough for the vss to reach. My fix, was to dismantle a factory harness and add in the new vss/ turbine speed sensor from the van harness, so nothing has been cut, spliced or otherwise hacked up. Also a relay was added, which was jumped off a existing relay for a trans cooling fan. The fan shuts off when the truck is powered down like it should.
At this point the truck starts/runs drives as it should. If the truck sits somewhere between 1 and 2 days, it is somewhere between almost dead, to totally dead. I have used a test light to try and narrow down what is going on here and the best I can tell it is the ecm. I have checked all of the 12v+ sources and the Key on 12v+ sources and they all seem to be in the correct spots and doing what they should. So far, I disconnected just the ecm 1 night and the battery was fine the next day. I am going to look to see if I can get this to continue over a couple of days or maybe 3 this holiday week and see how it goes.
Has anyone had any issues with a ecm causing a parastatic draw like this? I can not find any info in the internet other than guys having their 12v+ and the 12V+ key on mixed up. I am wondering if possibly a segment flash may help fix this issue? I am also going to try to borrow a different ecm to just hook up, to see if the issue continues. ANY info is appreciated!
I did not mean to illude a segment swap would cause the issue, more to the effect if the ecm wasn't going to sleep, if perhaps a segment swap may fix it is all.
