The way I know to see if the amplifier module is working is to put a test
light on the side of the coil that it switches (-)and see if it flashes the
test light. If not, and the unit is getting a signal from the ICU then it's bad. I only had to trouble shoot this system once. In my experience
with electronics you always consider the items that get the most stress in
the system first. That would be the rpm sensor, and the amplifier. When I
had to trouble shoot the 90 wagon in our family the rpm sensor was the culprit. They can be intermittent so personally the rpm sensor is always
the first part I would suspect. I haven't ever heard of a bad ICU. I guess
it could happen but judging by the price it's obviously rare that they
go bad.
I recommend putting dielectric grease in every connector you can find
on the motor. It will keep the corrosion at bay much longer.
