Charging stopped due to system malfunction

Please make an oscillogram and show the result (photo) when connecting the D15 connector to the heater and when connecting this resistor* between +12V and the RMI signal.

It appears as if you plugged in D15 to the heater, but didn't disconnect the 10k load resistor when plugged in, which is what I would have like to see.

Correct, I did not disconnect the resistor when I connected d15

This is what we know now.
1. According to https://www.myrav4ev.com/threads/charging-stopped-due-to-system-malfunction.2692/page-7#post-32100 the heater can work using control from an external simulator (NE555).

2. Now we know that the control signal from the PMC ECU without connection to the heater, but with an external load resistance (10 kOhm) is quite adequate.

3. The control signal from the PMC ECU when connected to the heater looks only like a "trace" of the correct signal. https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2024/10/31/7482262/ Perhaps this is somehow related to such an input circuit LIN Transceiver (attach.) of the RMI signal located on the heater board.

4. Oddity/misunderstanding/questions.
Why does the control signal from the simulator only slightly reduce the amplitude when connected to the heater. And the signal from the PMC ECU is completely suppressed when connected (both with and without additional resistors).

It would be useful to determine (photo) the nominal value of the resistance that is connected to pin 3 of the NE555 microcircuit on the simulator board. And determine what its other output is connected to (to GND or to +12V).

I think you forgot to link the photo? I didnt fully understand your question, but here are some details that may be helpful.

Details of the NE555 board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-...ef=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B018INS9QM


Resistances:
VCC to GND - 1.5K
VCC to OUT - 0.86M
OUT to GND - 0.85M

Here is a close up pic of the timer

Shall we check the heater control when connected with an external 2kOhm (not 10 kOhm) resistor?
Note: On the board, the generator output is connected to 12V via a 1.5kOhm resistor (152) and a LED.
The previous photo shows the RMI signal receiver.

Same behavior as earlier, although the amplitude is a bit higher. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AoMSicNQxi7y5y2rIktK4-8Ykyym
