[s-cars] what's this wire for?? (Motronic)

[Marc Swanson]

While I had my ECU apart for socketing, I found a wire that had been
hacked onto the board from one of the diodes (I think) directly to one
of the pins on the ECU connector:

Any speculation as to why this is there?  I got this ECU as an exchange
for mine which died on the operating table during Mihneathon last
weekend.  Some kind of boost mod/hack?

In general the board looked pretty ugly in a lot of places.. you can see
some of the other pics by browsing around that album.

Comments?

Thanks!
