Before you start

Not confident with automotive wiring? Have a professional harness builder or tuner do it, or check your work before first power-up. A wiring mistake can damage the ECU, the engine or the car, or start a fire.

Order of work1. Check every part against the parts list. 2. Cut and label every wire (labels: Export → Wire labels). 3. Crimp and pin connector by connector, ticking the build checklist. 4. Run the bench test with nothing plugged in and the battery disconnected. 5. Only then connect the ECU and power up.

Build checklist

Tick each box as you go. Continuity: meter from end to end, expect under 1 Ω.

Bench test (before first power-up)

Battery disconnected, ECU and every sensor unplugged. Meter on resistance. Each pair below must read open (OL): a reading means a pinched wire, a stray strand or a mis-pinned cavity. Then check continuity of every wire (last column of the build checklist).

#Probe AProbe BExpectWhyReading
1SL8-A-34SL8-B-2open (OL)+12 V supply must not touch 5 V sensor reference
2SL8-B-10SL8-A-34open (OL)sensor ground must not touch +12 V supply
3SL8-B-10SL8-B-2open (OL)sensor ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference
4SL8-B-18SL8-A-34open (OL)power ground must not touch +12 V supply
5SL8-B-18SL8-B-2open (OL)power ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference

If any reading doesn't match, stop and get help before powering up.

warnDBW_MOTOR_CURRENTSL8-A-18Cannot confirm SL8 can drive the throttle motor: SL8-A-18 "Auxiliary output 9" is rated 8.0 A peak, but the motor stall current at OEM-T121-117 is unknown. Add the motor's peak current from a source, or measure the motor resistance: peak ≈ 14 V ÷ R (Hondata measured 4.9 A for a Civic Si body, 10.4 A for a ZDX body; holding current is about 1 A).

Add the motor's peak current from a source, or measure the motor resistance: peak ≈ 14 V ÷ R (Hondata measured 4.9 A for a Civic Si body, 10.4 A for a ZDX body; holding current is about 1 A).
warnDBW_MOTOR_ISOLATIONSL8-A-34SL8-A-34 "Aux 9–10 14V supply" is fed from the same net as the ECU main supply (SL8-B-1). Link's S2000 DBW wiring feeds the throttle-motor supply through a separate isolation relay switched by the ECU, so motor power can be cut on a throttle fault. Add one, or confirm SL8 cuts the H-bridge internally.
warnDBW_SHARED_5VOEM-T121-72 + OEM-T121-73 + OEM-T121-83 + OEM-T121-98 + OEM-T121-99 + SL8-B-2 + SP-5V1-1These 5 V supplies are separate in the stock car (OEM-T121-72 [pedal1], OEM-T121-73 [pedal2], OEM-T121-83 [tps], OEM-T121-98 [cam_boost], OEM-T121-99 [knock]) and here share one ECU 5 V (SL8-B-2). On a drive-by-wire car the OEM splits them so one short or fault can't corrupt both throttle/pedal tracks at once. SL8 has 1 5 V sensor supply pin(s). All are in use, so decide: accept the shared supply (and rely on the ECU's DBW fault checks), or add a separate regulated 5 V for the sub tracks.

The new ECU has no free 5 V reference, so they share one: normal on a standalone, but a short on any of these sensors drops them all.

Fit check: unconfirmed. Confirm these before building: - Trigger pattern for VW EA113 not found in the ECU's docs (No VW 1.8T 20v (EA113) decoder.) - This car has VW/Audi Immobilizer (delete/bypass for standalone) immobilizer; needs a delete/bypass Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-11. Review every wire against both manuals before building.
