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.

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).

Notes

Fit check: unconfirmed. Confirm these before building: - Needs CAN (E46 K-bus/CAN); not documented for this ECU - This car has EWS 3.3 (rolling code) immobilizer; needs a delete/bypass Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-06. Review every wire against both manuals before building. Not wired: - OEM-X60001 7: Battery constant (terminal 30): Haltech Nexus S3 has no battery-constant input; not needed - OEM-X60003 31: Knock sensor, cylinders 4-6 (A): no free knock input on Haltech Nexus S3 - OEM-X60003 32: Knock sensor, cylinders 4-6 (B): no free knock input on Haltech Nexus S3 - OEM-X60003 48: Knock sensor shield: no shield pin on Haltech Nexus S3 - OEM-X60003 45: Map-controlled thermostat: no free low_side/ls_hs/injector/hbridge on Haltech Nexus S3 - OEM-X60003 49: DISA intake flap: no free low_side/ls_hs/injector/hbridge on Haltech Nexus S3 - OEM-X60003 27: Engine oil temperature: no free thermistor/analog_0_5 on Haltech Nexus S3 - NEXUSS3-A 13: Ignition switch input: not fed (the stock ECU has no ignition-sense pin); feed it from a switched-ignition source
