Kitchen aid oven wont light because the DSI tries to light my back left burner instead of oven .....

Hello I have something a little strange happening with my kitchen aid gas range. A few weeks backs I noticed the oven wouldn't come on or would randomly work but more than often just the spark clicking and that's it . So I looked into it and weirdly enough when called upon to bake or broil instead of the spark happening in the oven the spark is happening at the cooktop and tries to light my left back burner which goes on and on like this so I did some troubleshooting and saw that there was smell of gas in oven so I know the gas valve does indeed works but I wouldn't not get my 120 volts at between J1-4and J1-6 on my DSI spark module and 120 volts was not present so I deducted that the ERC board wasn't sending the 120 volts to the DSI ( spark module ) so I went and bought the ERC board feeling pretty confident that would resolve my problem but no same problem still happening anyone as ran into something similar id love to put this issue to rest. I would believe my DSI board to be ok has once in a while the oven does come on and works fine but its pretty random and now that I replaced the ERC board I am puzzled could it be the board behind the clear language display ( touchpad) the graphics shows the proper operation I want but...… The wiring harness didn't seem to show any wear or anything defective I should also mentioned that after installing that ERC board today I also noticed that even when tricking the oven with the door open to run it I have yet to see the convection fan running yet on the display it clearly tells me its on though I am not sure if those two problems are related other than I thought the ERC took care of fan operations and also the oven operations and that the DSI literally just sparked and that it does but its being sent the wrong info as to where to spark I feel and if not from the ERC why is this happening ?

I am a refrigeration mechanic so I fix refrigerators mostly industrials and commercials but I also dabble into residential and I also hold my commercial gas license so its not like a complete boob doing this myself but without any proper tech sheets ( which I cant seem to find for this model ) its been a bit tricky. :)


thanks in advance I hope someone ran into this issue before
