Brother,

My EG is going to be 17 years ago, but none of the symptoms as you describe.
Do I need to purposely open it and take a look?
By the way, is it only happened to EG and EK?
I have SM4 and also nearly 20 years old, everything still fine..
Please enlighten me.

Thanks.

Well if no symptom yet do not mean it is 100% okay...
It is not difficult to take out the ecu, open the cover and have alook.

Currently happens more in eg ecus...why, can't say for sure... but NORMAL
life span of capacitors(by manufacturer) is 10 years...
I also believe it depend the way the car is being used.... always long distance more easy to kena...

Anyway all up to you bro...

I must say Mr E-Tech has an impressive personality. Such knowledge is certainly of commercial value and yet he chose to share it openly instead of guarding it like a secret. Gathering good karma for sure. Cheers.
