LINK EBC troubleshooting - electrical help please
Finally got around to searching for the problem with LINK electronic boost control today. My circuit outside of the ecu box is good. So I'm on the inside now, and I think I've found the problem. The driver rail that the EBC driver is mounted too, has five other drivers of the same spec mounted to it- the BUK555-100a mosfet transistor. I tested from the gate pin to the center drain pin on the other five and got a positive on continuity, yet on the EBC I get nothing. Would you say that justifies replacement?
Here's the ecu trace showing the driver rail and circuit trace for the EBC and the driver spec sheet:

How to test the LINK ebc mosfet
1. Pull the cpu
2. Build a test light. Run a dash size incandescent bulb (or led w/resistor) in place of the solenoid on the EBC leads
3. Turn the ignition on. This will turn on your cooling fan AND power the EBC circuit- so your LED/test light should come on.
4. Now run put the Gate pin on the mosfet to ground. Your test light should turn off. Then put a +5v to the Gate pin and the test light should turn on. That shows a working Mosfet (and diodes). If not, it's either the software settings or a bad cpu.
