Andy(The guy who manages this project) asked if i could change a resistor inside the IDM. I pretty much well said no problem. Somehow this sparked interest in the internal operation of the IDM and here were are now. Note to self, change the resistor.

 This is a depreciated picture. The IDM connector has been relocated inside the engine compartment. The actual location is behind the fuse/relay box. With a little work the IDM will mount below the ground lug from the fuse box which attaches to the fender support area. A permanent connection has been made to CID Signal, Fuel Delivery Signal, IDM Feedback and Signal Return. These signals are brought into the cab for data collection and analysis via Cat5. The Cat5 is just wire, it was the only thing we could find at the time. The test IDM may be disassembled and the plug removed so that we may have a faster patch through method. Currently, we have roughly 20 minuets of overhead in patching an IDM. Not to mention an extreme risk of permanent electronics damage if we happen to swap a wire. We double check our double checks, but at 3am anything may happen. Things are late because of the shifts we work and the times we have access to a heated work area.
