yeah it is...the third largest connector is the one your looking at, remove it and measure for continuity between terminals 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 between .8 and 2.2, the terminals you are focusing on are in pattern. remember you are measuring the harness side not the atessa control unit side. if you have continuity between the connector terminals you need a new control unit. if you don't have continuity you need to measure resistance at terminals 1 2 3 and 4.  this will narrow it down for you without doing any wrenching at all.

So this is my results 

13 though to 20 is no continuity 

So I tested 1 2 3 4 

2 and 4 gives me 130

3 And 4 is contunious 

2 and 3 gives me 115

 

I'm so confused how should the numbers be 

You're not supposed to test all of them to all of them. The original linked document clearly says check 13-14, 15-16, 17-18, 19-20.

Expected resistance is between 800 - 2000 ohm.

You do not do this with the multimeter set to continuity. You do it with it set to the appropriate resistance range. Which will either be 2k or 20 k. Try 20k first, as raw accuracy is not important here.

If the circuit is open (infinite resistance) then you have a broken wire, dud sensor, something like that. If the resistance is drastically low, it's either a wiring short or a dud sensor.

You can see the difference between harness faults and sensor faults by measuring at the sensors, as shown in the diagnosis tree.

I just want to clarify I have tested 

13 to 14 15 to 16 and so on with my tester. There is no continuity. 

So my next step would be to test the terminal 1 2 3 and 4. Can you confirm this is correct

There's not supposed to be "continuity" in the sense of a short circuit. The resistance across those pairs of wires is supposed to be between 800 and 2200 ohms. As measured with the multimeter set to the appropriate resistance scale, probably 20k ohms.

The meter I've got is a fluke multimeter.

It hasn't got the setting to change over to 20k ohm etc.

This cannot be true. The very definition of a multimeter means that it can measure resistance. Fluke is the best brand out there. It is not possible that it doesn't have it.

The red arrow shows you the resistance mode. Flukes are autoranging, so you don't even need to select the 20k range yourself. It will do it for you.

correct the multi meter has to have the setting on it looks like a horse shoe. I also can add that when testing for resistance make dam sure you have a good connection in the terminal with a nice sharp end, sometimes you can tie a paper clip to the end of your multimeter probe to get a better connection in the terminal. this is sounding like bad ground, broken wire, something to do with the relocation I believe. let us know when you have done the resistance test on terminals 13-20. then we can narrow down if you need a new control unit or if we need to continue testing

ive always stayed away from relocations and what not to keep diagnostics easier and what not just keeping a simple fast platform. I do feel once the multimeter and you become friends your gunna solve this issue quick.

Okay @GTSBoy I've got a fluke clamp meter. My bad. It only measures continuity and not resistance eith a scale. 

@MoMnDadGTR

I've got 2 sensors of a mate. I'm just going to replace the front right sensor and see if that fixes my issue

No. Swaptronics is the last resort, not the first.

A useful multimeter is $10 at Jaycar.

What model? I've never seen one that doesn't do resistance, current, volts, etc.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
