ECU count

INEOS 7 ECU's and yet so many gremlins unresolved. Waiting.

Sadly not sure why the article says 7 because it is not 7 it is 35 in total according to Ineos. Even if they are talking just major compute I count 9-10.

ECM, ECU, FCM, BCM, SCM, TRM, HU, ESC, ACM, The OB2 Port for get what that one is called.

Rivian Gen 2's have just 7 true ECU's.

There should be a strong and stable bowden cable to do this which one can operate from inside the car. My 1989 G-Wagon had this to lock the diffs. A bit hard to pull, but no electronic problems - a simple yet effective mechanical solution.

It should not be too tricky to rig one up, esp if a hoist is available.. I'm a bit busy to do it myself right now , but those much more likely to encounter deep water should have a think about it.

And sadly they appear to be running on Windows 98..

This might work with some automatic implementations in some cars. But sadly not with the Grenadier. Everybody here will know, that the gearbox immediately goes to 'P' when you switch off your engine. And you can not put it back to neutral as long as the engine is off.


As far as I am concerned, this is not true. I am not negative about the Grenadier. But I can see some flaws which I don't like. And at least this comment confirms I'm not wrong:

I was talking about the transfer case. This solution works regardless of the state of the ZF.

As said, I use this "feature" frequently, e.g. to position the car before lifting. Others do so as well, lots of posts about that around here. So, there's nothing to prove anymore.

Solutions matter. Nothing else.
