Hi everyone,
I noticed my car had a parasitic current draw when off.
After circuit testing it turned out that removing the hot side from the alternator (the thick red wire) got rid of the current drain.
The alternator however still produces voltage etc.
The ECU is showing up an error for the FR terminal however from my testing the voltage at the FR terminal is fine.
Could the current draw (which might be faulty diode?) cause the error code?
Engine and ECU are from a Mitsubishi FTO 6A12 MIVEC.
