Signal Specification, Engine Control Module (ECM)

General 

All the values given below are measured between the terminal in column 1 (Term. control module) and terminal #A5 (#A5) unless otherwise indicated in column 6 (Other).

Control module connections:

NOTE:

It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.

U= DC voltage in volts (V) Ulow = Voltage approximately 0 V
Ubat = Battery voltage (V)
