How to verify ECU is awake?
I'm trying to figure out why I'm not getting any CAN data from the 912iS ECU to the Dynon EMS-221.
I know the EMS-221 is functioning and communicating, as the HDX shows battery voltage and fuel pressure.
But I can only assume, since the Start Power and Backup Power switches will each run the fuel pumps, and pressing the start button will engage the starter motor, that the ECU is awake.
Is this true? Is this a valid verification of EMS status?
There are no blinky lights, fans, etc, just a black box. And with no CAN data, how do I know?
Dynon support has said that to verify the ECU is awake, I need to start the engine. This is a new factory-pickled engine, and I don't feel comfortable running it blind with no Oil Pressure data, which comes via CAN.
