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.

| Status | draft · not yet verified: nobody has reported building and running this harness |
|---|---|
| Open errors | none |
| Size of the job | 33 wires · 7 connectors · 5 part lines |
| Tools | Crimp and extraction tools for each terminal family (see Connectors) · wire strippers · multimeter · heat gun + heat-shrink |
| Terminals | 3-1447221-4 |
| 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. |

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 | SL6-A-34 | SL6-B-10 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch sensor ground | |
| 2 | SL6-A-34 | SL6-B-18 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch power ground | |
| 3 | SL6-A-34 | SL6-B-2 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch 5 V sensor reference | |
| 4 | SL6-B-10 | SL6-B-2 | open (OL) | sensor ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference | |
| 5 | SL6-B-18 | SL6-B-2 | open (OL) | power ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference |
If any reading doesn't match, stop and get help before powering up.

| Severity | Code | Subject | Message |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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-1-E ↔ SL6-A-14 | OEM-1-E "Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)" [low_side_out] is wired to SL6-A-14 "Auxiliary output 5" [switch_out]. Configure this output as low side. |
| info | NET_FAMILY | OEM-2-D ↔ SL6-B-6 | OEM-2-D "Sensor ground (E2)" [sensor_ground] is wired to SL6-B-6 "Crank index sensor −" [trigger_in]. Trigger return tied to sensor/trigger ground: correct for single-ended trigger inputs. |
| info | NET_FAMILY | OEM-2-I ↔ SL6-A-15 | OEM-2-I "Tachometer output" [tacho_out] is wired to SL6-A-15 "Auxiliary output 6" [switch_out]. Frequency output on a general output: set it up as a tacho/frequency output with the right pull-up. |
| info | NET_FAMILY | OEM-2-P ↔ SL6-B-14 | OEM-2-P "Intake air temperature (IAT)" [temp_in] is wired to SL6-B-14 "Analog input 4" [analog_in]. Thermistor on a plain analog input needs a pull-up; check the channel can enable one. |
| info | NET_FAMILY | OEM-2-Q ↔ SL6-B-13 | OEM-2-Q "Coolant temperature (ECT)" [temp_in] is wired to SL6-B-13 "Analog input 3" [analog_in]. Thermistor on a plain analog input needs a pull-up; check the channel can enable one. |

Notes
Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-09. Review every wire against both manuals before building. Open items: - Fuel-pump control: Emtron SL6 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: Emtron SL6 has no battery-constant input; not needed - SL6-B 4: Ignition switch input: not fed (the stock ECU has no ignition-sense pin); feed it from a switched-ignition source
