Cummins ISX ECM Repair

[@WizoWiz]

The video and the comments taught me a lot about diagnosing an issue. Thank you for another excellent video!

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Glad it helped!

[@angelmartin4519]

So you guys know what usually fails on the Detroit ECM the DDEC V?

[@robertcox5228]

Wow I'm impressed

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Thanks!

Truly an informative video. When removing the component and then reballing it, at what temperature ranges and for how long do you work? I tried, and the circuit board bulged. The operating temperature and temperature ranges of the device must be very important. thank you very much again

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

My temps work for my machine, they won't work for yours. Practive one bad boards get a feel for what works and what doesn't. Practice makes better. There is no short cut answer I can give you.

[@alexkirby485]

Curious about top and bottom temperatures. Other than plugging into the truck are there other ways to introduce electricity to look for other circuit faults?

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Top and bottom temps depend on your mahcine. If you use the same temps I do, it won't work for you. Yes there are bench testing tools we use. Some are better than others.

Hello, I need help identifying a part that has exploded. It's on the power side where the chopper transformer is. Thank you. A picture of this part helps me a lot

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Sorry I don't think I can help you there.

[@maradallibya5791]

Great Whats the model number of your bga machene? And whats the name of the little tool you used for pudh the ic?

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

This is the title of the listing I purchased essentially Car ECU Cover Open Tool Aluminum Alloy Iron ECU Cover Opening Extractor Removal Tool I bought them from Amazon, here is the link: amzn.to/4c9XO0O The BGA rework machine is ZM-R5860C

I have a Hyundai loader with Cummins engine that uses CM870 ecm. How to connect Inline 6 to diagnose the engine.

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Unsure sorry

[@utumven]

how did u know that chip was the problem?

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Trial and error otherwise known as experience It's really hard to identify a fauty solder joint below a processor because you can't just put a mutltimeter to it or use a tool to determine it's the issue. So you have to go based on symptoms, the fault that is occuring and try a few repairs until one sticks and then use that experience of having fixed a few to know what symptoms are commonly caused by what failing components in the circuit. Yes I know it's not the sexy clear cut answer you were looking for but that's how it goes a lot of the time.

[@stonent]

One common way is if the device's functionality seems to be be tied to whether it is hot or cold. That could indicate a bad solder joint.

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Yes, this is also true. We see that a lot with the CPC4 actually. Truckers will say that during certain weather like in the very early morning or night time, it won't work but after the sun rises for a few hours and it warms up then the truck works.

[@JustInspiredKent]

I happily do most of what you do but reballing something like that is mildly terrifying and I'm not sure when I will attempt that lol.

[@NicksElectronicRepair]

Yeah reballing is a different skill for sure. I don't actually do it, one of my techs does it for me. I trained to do it with him, he showed me how and I know how to do it but am not very good at it either.

Great Video! HMU if you want a "fried" CM2350 for a video!
