  • @minidave1994
    @minidave1994 2 месяца назад +3

    LIN communication is similar to canbus but single wire… it’s used for non important things; but its master and slave… the master unit asks for info; the slave responds on the same wire. But because it’s single wire you have an issue at one module or connection, you get faults galore! Had a similar issue with a bmw m5 with water pump issues as it uses LIN for them also. Good spot! I recon it was probably the brake pedal switch that cause the ignition to not come on properly though, as you need the brake pedal to start.
