Default You would have to review the Bently Procedure

I don't know if one power output stage controls 5-6-7-8 and the other 1-2-3-4, but if so, it could be a bad power output stage or input into the device.

I would look it up in the Bently, or just swap the two power output stages which are below the cover just forward of the ECU box and under the air intake pipe.

If it swaps to 1-2-3-4, it will narrow it down for you.
