Hellen128 / Burned Ignition driver mosfet

Post by FineWhine »

Short story: programmed it to work with TB, Pedal, and enabled starter via firmware update and soldered P5 to P35 and P31, starter working correctly without failure.

Benched spark and both work, but I thought the spark order felt incorrect. Accidentally set ignition setting on spark to inverted default.

Burned the number "4" ignition driver.

It also wont recognize the ecu as it should on a second computer I have. And only as "unknown USB device" after a few seconds.

Ecu done for?

A few pictures.


Also number one of the drivers have lifted legs, one look like it has solder on it but not the other.


Edit: can confirm car runs good on stock ecu. Not a burned coilpack.

We have scary PCB discoloration

We have lifted IGBT lead.

And worst you say this does not connect to PC? That's the worst part. I would focus on this. Unless you have USB communication you have a paperweight. Please post pictures of the MCU area.

I have one board in stock I can sell discounted without case.

The lesson for us would be https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/3397

MCU area looks fine, lifted IGBT leads might be badly soldered just
The discoloration I am not sure its gonna be an issue or that it caused any major damage.



I will try connecting to the laptop I do most stuff from.

EDIT: It connects and works on the laptop, but not my stationary desktop. Wierd.

So this seems to be an issue of the IGBT drivers being on 100% due to the inverted setting. This will have surely cooked them and probably hot enough to melt that solder joint.

It's possible they are now shorted to ground and causing issue elsewhere.

First step is going to be removing those IGBTs and checking if there is a short from anywhere to ground.

This might be salvageable, where in the world are you based?

Safe to assume Sweden.

Well, just my dumb luck finding shit like this I suppose. IGBT number one on board I can just solder back on, the heat from the burned IGBT shouldnt have unsoldered both legs if this was the case and bigger area would be affected if it did.

The other burned one probably just caused very localized damage, will have to desolder it and take a look.

But yeah, I live in sweden.

Lets remove the inverted setting on the next firmware update so it cannot mess anyone elses ECU.

I tried the other Wasted spark Ignition bank and it fires, just the IGN1 in ignition settings are burned. Starter and fuel pump priming aswell as throttle still works.

BTW what mosfet is the injector driver one? I dont think I got any of the injectors to fire even once even before the burned IGBT.

Is it the one with lifted leads?

Well, I am not into board building at all, so my knowledge is limited. But I see that its full product number is ISL9V3040S3S.

And some digging I see that its just a ignition driver.

Edit: all the fuses are in shape, none has blown. All resistors going to the ignition are fine as well.

I think I got somewhat lucky on those parts. just need a new IGBT.

Best would be to get a set of them incase something ever happens again :roll:

Do I read "Well, maybe I should _explicitly_ ask around for someone to solder those huge IGBT drivers(s) for me"?

I am looking to order a few IGBTS.

https://www.mfgchips.se/products/AMI-Semiconductor-ON-Semiconductor/ISL9V3040S3S?fbclid=IwAR0sgdbUYbrBE1nY3ZpxI2k0Lr-w9yh8rNDcz4aii8Ets38qJDX2ReX8piU

These are the correct ones yes? I can consult a close radio shop to do the soldering in case I can't do it myself (most likely it will be not issue with a heat gun and a soldering iron).

Also, in case of I get a 6 cylinder M104 in the future, is soldering on IGBTS the only necessary thing to solder on some more of them?

Yes https://octopart.com/search?q=ISL9V3040S3S is the correct chip - that's now documented on https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/wiki/Hellen-128-Mercedes#spare-parts

Let's not discuss M104 on "Burned Ignition driver mosfet" thread. Maybe existing M104 thread would be a better place for M104 discussion.

Can I substitute with the ISL9V3040S3ST model?

Yes.

I believe that ISL9V3040S3ST is same ISL9V3040S3S just packaged in tape instead of tube or vice versa.

I tried the ECU today. And now both coils gives spark. I even got the car to run for a few seconds! Success in replacing the driver!
