Remove solder from the pads
Tip : Be careful here. Don’t attempt this unless you have the right equipment. It’s quite easy to
damage the board. Don’t overheat the pads (about a second per pad is a safe maximum) or
damage can easily result. If in doubt get somebody with the right equipment to do it for you. It’s
a 5 minute job so it shouldn’t cost much.

Check that holes are clear
Hold the ECU up to the light and check that all the holes are clear. If any holes still have solder
in them do not try to clear them out using a drill bit! The boards are multi-layer and it is quite
likely that an internal connection will be damaged.
