This points toward a timing issue. Probe the Timing Control Valve output pins with an oscilloscope or high-frequency DMM. Look for a variable Duty Cycle signal. If the pin reads a flat 0V or a constant 12V, the ECU is failing to modulate the timing mechanism.
Inspect the main chassis ground pins. Corroded ground points on the engine block or intake manifold will float the ECU ground, causing it to randomly power cycle.

: It supports multiple injection strategies (pilot, main, and post-injection) to meet emissions standards and reduce engine noise and vibration.

To safely work with these pins, users typically use specialized hardware like the KESS3 for reading and writing data in "boot mode," which bypasses standard diagnostic restrictions.
