IDIOT QUESTION: How do I know if I have JB4 G5 ISO?

sirdaft1 · 02-19-2015, 11:39 AM

When I originally bought my 335 the PO had already installed JB4. That said, I've always been curious to know whether I'm running the latest JB4 G5 ISO processor. Pardon what might be a ridiculously stupid question, but is there a way to easily find out what I have?

There are two resistors taken out from the board.

There are two diodes that are missing to make it "ISO" aka isolated. Look at the board and the arrangement of components to make sure its a "G5".

One way to quickly know if you have a G4 is go through your steering wheel menus. If it stops at Menu 8 then you don't have G5.

Perfect, thanks all!

After lots of googling, this is the best thread I found.
Is there such a thing as G5 not-ISO?
If so, can the G5 board be modified to make it ISO?
