hi.
i have a doosan g25p-3 ser num kq-01185. seems to crank for a long time and throws code 42. other times it starts fast. changed plugs, wires, cap , rotor. checked coil and pick up coil, seems ok. unless the pick up coil is intermittent. code is for est low..... what is the est?
Any help appreciated.

From what diagrams I have. I don't have a pin e. I also have a -2 schematic. I'm guessing that's not going to work.

EST means Electronic spark trigger......code 42 is for low coil driver signalmor current......

EST1Low: (Electronic Spark Trigger) is a current driver signal and normally set if the signal from the SECM is shorted to ground.

Check coil driver wiring and connector for shorts SECM PIN 7(EST1) to COIL PIN A

Verify GND on COIL PIN B Verify GND on COIL PIN C Verify GND on COIL PIN D Verify +12vdc on COIL PIN E

To check the Smart Coil internal circuit disconnect the coil connector and measure the resistance from pin to pin

Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
