HELP! 996 won't start. Need Advice FAST
in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)

Here's what the garage has said:
Diagnostics does not pick up DME (ECU not responding)
Check voltage at starter - 12V
Crank key - No voltage at trigger on starter
Checked wiring diagram - System has a starter lock and MFI relays
Change relays - No difference
Connected terminal 30 & 87 on starter lock relay - This allowed engine to crank, but not fire. This side of circuit ok.
Thoughts currently - Either relay trigger circuit faulty or ECU
Power to relays, but not trigger signals. Wiring seems ok.
Check continuity of wires - All ok
Check pin for trigger switch (Pin 54 of ECU = UB switched) - This controls Air mass, MFI and DI relay, Injection relay, Oxygen sensor, Secondary airpump relay, Fuel pump (through a connecting relay)
This item is not switching - Controlled directly by ECU
Check pin 26 (Referred to as terminal 30 on wiring diagram - feeds MFI and DI relay also) - Has the required 5V switching voltage
In conclusion the ECU control from Pin 54 is causing the problem. This is the direct control for the majority of engine fuelling systems. Therefore an internal ECU fault.
Still waiting to find out the results...
