Cheated by the Keyless Entry remote. TU31

99% chance that a malfunctioning keyless entry remote is due to dead lithium battery. But what if two remote suddenly failed simultaneously, lithium battery reads 3V on voltmeter and the problem not solved after changing a new battery. This make me think of the faulty BCM body control module. After spending 30mins locating and dismantling the BCM, I feel that I should go back to the test the remote unit. On loading two 3V lithium battery ti a superbright led, I found the old and replaced battery drop from 3V to 1.5V.  What a shame being fooled by the "normal " looking unloaded battery voltage.

Ninja 300 ABS

Most ABS Motorcycle can be identified to have ABS installed by looking for the presence of the ABS slot sensor. The sensor disc send signal to the ECU to detect the rotational speed of the front and tail wheel. It then control the ABS solenoid (So the fuse box will have a ABS realy / fuse slot as well) to operate the moderator and redistribute the braking force to the front and rear wheel.

Types of vibration sensor (Alarm)


1) Cheapest 10 cents sensor : a spring and a center wire type , this is for those cheap products like dollar worth bulgary / window alarm, wheel rotatatory led , ....
2) Piezo-electric couple with capacitor : Also cheap and for most cheap car vibration sensor alarm. VR sensitivity adjustable.
3) PIC controlled : with intelligent shock intensity and frequency counter, that a program will judge and avoid false alarm. VR sensitivity adjustable. However, mosre NC type (normally closed). Power consumption 11-17 mA.
4) Mercury 3D sensor... Good for slow angular movement.
