Thank you for your reply! I just visited the dealer and they read the pair valve error. It is interesting that I drove 4000 km without this error and now it appears. Today I will disassemble and look, probably something happened to the resistor ...@Danil there are dozens of things that can turn on the MIL. Retrieval of the DTC(s) are the starting point.
Apologies should have been more detailed - full black widow system (no cat)
This is what happened with the socket and resistor
I am just wondering what could be the reason? Bad quality of the resistor? Water-damage?My first guess go for water damage.This is what happened with the socket and resistor
Good tips! I would not say that it is paranoid
In my case, I am not sure about water-damage, as I also did something similar with electrical tape and resin cover of the socket. The problem is that the insulation and rubber layer have been burned by a resistor due to heating... That is why I am not sure that it is a good idea to isolate it completely as it can overheat as it has happened in my case...
That’s a 1/4 watt resister and looks like a combination of heat and water damage. I’d get a 1 or 2 watt resister (or even higher, it’s heat dissipation that you need) and seal it up better from the elements.Good tips! I would not say that it is paranoid
Shocking news after Danil’s post got me curious and had a peek on my resistor and found it like this no engine warning yet this is the one I’ve used :
And this is how it looks now 😕
Huh, the earlier one looked like a 1/4 or 1/2 watt to me but it's hard to tell exactly without context of how big it is. If yours truly is a 1 or 2 watt resister, then I would step up to a 5 or 10 watt unit. Obviously there's some heat there, way more than everyone thought.
That is really smart!!!
