What is the maximum current available from pins 36/45 (8vdc) and pins 46/53 (5vdc)? Is there a spec listed anywhere for this?

I looked through the manual and searched the board with no luck. I'd like to get an idea so I don't ever try to drive too many higher current sensors sometime and run into trouble.

Thanks in advance.

LOL! I came back to ask this again, forgetting that I had already asked it. I see we still have no answer.

I plan on building my own sensor junction boxes this winter. If the current available is very low, I can build alternately powered, regulated DC outputs into the boxes, and power up sensors that way.

If they are reasonable, I'll wire them direct to the 5v/8v outputs supplied. There has to be a spec for this somewhere.

I would assume they would be close if not the same to a 'hundred series' ECU:

5V .20A
8V .30A
