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.

Statusproposal · not yet verified: nobody has reported building and running this harness
Open errorsnone
Size of the job65 wires · 7 connectors · 0 part lines
ToolsCrimp and extraction tools for each terminal family (see Connectors) · wire strippers · multimeter · heat gun + heat-shrink
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

warnDBW_MOTOR_CURRENTMAXXECURACE-C2-H2Cannot confirm MaxxECU RACE can drive the throttle motor: MAXXECURACE-C2-H2 "MOTOR 1-" is rated 2.0 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).

On a drive-by-wire car the OEM splits them so one short or fault can't corrupt both throttle/pedal tracks at once. MaxxECU RACE 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.
