obd1 J1 jumper connected with a resistor?
 

hey guys i just got my ecu in the mail. i bought as the following: a p06 converted to a p28, socketed for hondata and has the datalogging header on it.

well before i get a basemap in there i wanted to disconnect J1 and test out the ecu make sure its working ok. However, in J1 there is a resistor soldered in. I thought normally people just solder in a jumper,switch or even just a wire.

just wondering why a resistor is there

here's a picture:

thanks for the help i really really appreciate it!

its a zero resistance resistor...its a 'proper' jumper setup....works the same as a wire would....

thanks for the quick reply! only bad thing now i guess is that its so close to the board. i don't want to get any excess solder on when i solder it back

yeah i had one with one of those....it was like 2inches off the board though, so i reusued it (was cut when i got it)...

just use a regular jumper wire (extra leg off a resistor)....but mounted off the baord for the next guy/time ;)

You can also just burn a chip with the "import only" files in uberdata and that will run fine. But I guess you already cut the jumper, so it is no biggie now.

eh, i haven't cut it yet. i know what you mean tho. have a stock map burned onto a chip and just do that. maybe i'll do it that way.
