Electric fan control on Sd4x

A1C calibration can be modified and configured to operate all EFI-SD4x ECUs in 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder configurations.

Yes, I was interpreting that all wrong. The link below helped me understand the fundamentals of the output but both examples use an external transistor. is that what you mean by TTL Logic in your diagram?

Finally figured it out! I'm using a pull-up resistor connected to the 5 volt reference pin. That is then connected to the ECU pin and the high input of the relay board. Once I implement the optocoupler circuit, I will send pictures and schematics.

Got the optocoupler circuit figured out. I was able to use a bunch of available pads/traces and solder it right in. Not my prettiest work but should get the job done safely. IC is Cosmo 1010. More to come.

That’s awesome. That spare pad area you used is where the knock sensor chip would be on 6cyl sd47 hardware, fyi
