    It would be good to clear all faults and then see which ones return. Those after 14 are likely stored
    faults.

    Sensor voltage high faults often indicate wiring issues, and low voltage faults are often the sensor.

    Voltage faults though will not cut RPM. You may have multiple issues

    For me, yes. My Diesel Laptops big laptop won't connect, nor will my sons DL I pad.

    Some of thr other guys may know some other options. @Bean Jr.

    Switching ECMs for now is not an option. Can i add a ground (for testing purposes)? If so where? Thanks

    i checked the grounds and they seem fine. they terminate in a sealed connector into the battery ground cable. is there way to add a redundant ground somehow?

    X2 on ecm upgrade . A lot of ddec2 ecms have internal battery issues due to age and end causing a variety of issues . Power fuses and grounds are about all you can check . PS we used to add a extra ground from battery to engine back in the day it helped some with issues plus it’s inexpensive.
