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.
Install modifications
Steps on the car itself, outside the harness. Every harness for this car inherits them.
- Cut the sensor-ground-to-chassis wirerequired
Cut the wire in the engine bay that ties the ECU sensor/signal ground (2C/2D, BLK/LT GRN) to chassis ground, so the standalone gets a clean sensor-ground reference. After cutting, verify with a meter: sensor ground ↔ chassis ground reads open (OL) unless the standalone manual says otherwise.
Why: The stock loom bonds sensor ground to chassis ground; a standalone ECU needs its sensor ground isolated from the noisy chassis/power ground, otherwise sensor readings are noisy or wrong.
Where: Engine-bay ground joint near the ECU (1991 EWD Fig.2 shows the sensor-ground run and its joint connector).

- Bypass the airflow-meter pump switchrecommended
The stock pump is run by the flapper airflow meter's pump-switch contact through the circuit-opening relay, not by the ECU. The standalone harness adds ECU control of the pump relay (ignition-switched, fused); remove/bypass the AFM pump switch so the two do not fight.
Why: There is no stock fuel-pump output at the ECU, so the standalone provides it. Leaving the AFM switch in place leaves a second, unswitched pump path.
Where: Airflow meter connector (pump-switch contact) and circuit-opening relay.

| Open errors | 1: read the Findings page before cutting any wire |
| Size of the job | 35 wires · 6 connectors · 2 part lines |
| Tools | Crimp and extraction tools for each terminal family (see Connectors) · wire strippers · multimeter · heat gun + heat-shrink |
| Order of work | 1. 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)
Pre-power install steps (make these cuts/modifications on the car first, then verify the checks below): Cut the sensor-ground-to-chassis wire.
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 A | Probe B | Expect | Why | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-M4 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-H1 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch sensor ground | |
| 2 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-M4 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-L4 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch power ground | |
| 3 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-H1 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-G1 | open (OL) | sensor ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference | |
| 4 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-L4 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-G1 | open (OL) | power ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference | |
| 5 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-M4 | MAXXECUSPORT-C1-G1 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch 5 V sensor reference |
If any reading doesn't match, stop and get help before powering up.

Findings
Open (8)
| Severity | Code | Subject | Message |
|---|---|---|---|
| error | REQUIRED_UNMAPPED | OEM-1-C | Required OEM function "Ignition on (+12V)" (digital_in) is not connected to the new ECU. |
| warn | NET_FAMILY | OEM-1-O ↔ MAXXECUSPORT-C1-C1 | OEM-1-O "Stop light switch" [digital_in] is wired to MAXXECUSPORT-C1-C1 "AIN 5 (0-5V)" [analog_in]. Analog and digital on one net. A switch on an analog input works with a pull-up and a threshold; an analog sensor on a digital input loses its value. |
| warn | NET_FAMILY | OEM-1-P ↔ MAXXECUSPORT-C1-D2 | OEM-1-P "Power steering pressure switch" [digital_in] is wired to MAXXECUSPORT-C1-D2 "AIN 6 (0-5V)" [analog_in]. Analog and digital on one net. A switch on an analog input works with a pull-up and a threshold; an analog sensor on a digital input loses its value. |
| warn | NET_FAMILY | OEM-1-Q ↔ MAXXECUSPORT-C1-D3 | OEM-1-Q "A/C thermo switch" [digital_in] is wired to MAXXECUSPORT-C1-D3 "AIN 7 (0-5V)" [analog_in]. Analog and digital on one net. A switch on an analog input works with a pull-up and a threshold; an analog sensor on a digital input loses its value. |
| warn | NET_FAMILY | OEM-1-S ↔ MAXXECUSPORT-C1-E4 | OEM-1-S "Heater control switch (A/C request)" [digital_in] is wired to MAXXECUSPORT-C1-E4 "AIN 8 (0-5V)" [analog_in]. Analog and digital on one net. A switch on an analog input works with a pull-up and a threshold; an analog sensor on a digital input loses its value. |
| warn | NO_FUEL_PUMP | fuel pump | This engine harness has no fuel-pump control path: no fuel-pump relay output is wired to the new ECU. If the stock car switches the pump outside the ECU (an airflow-meter contact or a separate module), the standalone must drive the pump relay itself — see the install notes for this car. |
| info | NET_FAMILY | OEM-2-I ↔ MAXXECUSPORT-C1-A4 | OEM-2-I "Tachometer output" [tacho_out] is wired to MAXXECUSPORT-C1-A4 "GPO 8/TACHO" [low_side_out]. Tacho as a low-side output: check the tach needs a pull-up. |
| info | UNMAPPED | OEM | 3 optional OEM pins are not mapped: OEM-1-U Tail fuse / TNS (parking lamp +12V); OEM-1-V Neutral/clutch switch; OEM-2-L Idle switch (TPS) |

Notes
Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-17. Review every wire against both manuals before building. Open items: - OEM-1 C: Ignition on (+12V): key-on 12 V sense — optional in a swap (the main relay is energized from keyed 12 V, not from this pin); MaxxECU MaxxECU SPORT has no dedicated key-on input - Fuel-pump control: MaxxECU MaxxECU SPORT needs to drive the fuel pump, but the stock ECU has no fuel-pump output (an airflow-meter contact or a separate module runs it). Add a fuel-pump relay on a spare low-side output — see the install notes for this car. Not wired: - OEM-1 A: Constant +12V: MaxxECU MaxxECU SPORT has no battery-constant input; not needed - OEM-1 U: Tail fuse / TNS (parking lamp +12V): no free switch_in/frequency_in/analog_0_5 on MaxxECU MaxxECU SPORT - OEM-1 V: Neutral/clutch switch: no free switch_in/frequency_in/analog_0_5 on MaxxECU MaxxECU SPORT - OEM-2 L: Idle switch (TPS): no free switch_in/frequency_in/analog_0_5 on MaxxECU MaxxECU SPORT
