gee Tom,

disassemble ECU every 10 K? you have pretty high standards of
maintenance.

I suppose on might have a look inside the *AFM* every year or so and
wipe the carbon track, but this is the first I have heard of a carbon
track inside the ECU :)

cheers

Your ECU should fall in the inspect & repair / replace category.
Disassemble it once every 10K miles & look at the wear stripe in the
carbon. If it shows a lot of wear then relocate the wiper BEFORE IT
FAILS. If you don't do this then you are "planning to fail" like I
used to do 20 something years ago.
