HEY! Any wire-heads out there?
I've been troubleshooting electrical problems with my bone stock '05 R3. Basic problem is ignition circuit related-(no start - although the starter, fuse & relay are good....trust me, they are).
Using my Triumph Service Manual (issue 1, 05.2004), and chasing error codes (from my TuneECU), I started pinpoint testing the Crankshaft Sensor connections.
I know, this sensor does not disable the ignition circuit, but it was the first simple sensor I could test to eliminate the TuneECU error code.
According to my precious service manual, the ECM is connected to the sensor through pin numbers A14 and A13. What could be more simple - right?
Well, here is what I found after following the logical tests (found on page 11.60/61 in my book):
1. Cable integrity is visibly OK;
2. There is no short circuit on either pin
3. Continuity is good on Pin A14 (through the wiring harness to the sensor connector at pin 1).
HOWEVER, when I tried to put probes into the socket for A13 I discovered that there is no wire or socket inserted into the A13 connecor port!
Not only that, but there is a factory installed white plastic dust plug in the A13 port - proving (to me) that A13 was never used to connect the ECM to this sensor!
I could go into more excruciating detail about this (with photos etc), but I simply wanted to find out if anyone out there in Rocketland has ever run into THIS problem.
Also, if this circuit diagram is wrong, how many others will I find?
NOTE: The wiring loom is original to the bike.
Am I working with the wrong Service Manual?
ANY ADVICE IS DEEPLY APPRECIATED.
