Signal specification, engine control module (ECM)

All values below are measured between the relevant terminal in column 2 and #Axx (#Axx on the breakout box). (Stated in brackets after the table entry if not).

Connector A (96-pin) corresponds to terminals #A1 - #B36 on the breakout box.

Connector B (58-pin engine side) corresponds to terminals #C1 - #58 on the breakout box.

NOTE:

Connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.
