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.
- Re-route the pressure-sensor vacuum hose to the intake manifoldrequired
Re-route the pressure sensor's (Mazda "EGR boost sensor", pin 4AE) vacuum hose directly to the intake manifold, bypassing the EGR boost solenoid. The stock ECU multiplexes baro + MAP through that solenoid: with it off the sensor reads atmosphere, with it energized it reads manifold. After re-routing the sensor reads MAP only, so the standalone needs its own barometric source — its onboard baro sensor if fitted, or a separate baro sensor on a spare analog input. (Alternative, not recommended: keep the hose stock and have the ECU energize the solenoid permanently via a low-side output switched with ignition; this costs an output.)
Why: With the solenoid off (its default) the sensor reads atmospheric pressure, not manifold pressure, so a standalone that uses this sensor as its MAP input would read the wrong value.
Where: EGR boost solenoid and the pressure sensor's vacuum hose (sensor signal 4AE).

| Open errors | 1: read the Findings page before cutting any wire |
| Size of the job | 32 wires · 7 connectors · 0 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): Re-route the pressure-sensor vacuum hose to the intake manifold.
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 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-E2 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-A2 | open (OL) | 5 V sensor reference must not touch sensor ground | |
| 2 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-H4 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-A2 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch sensor ground | |
| 3 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-H4 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-G4 | open (OL) | +12 V supply must not touch power ground | |
| 4 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-G4 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-E2 | open (OL) | power ground must not touch 5 V sensor reference | |
| 5 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-H4 | MAXXECUMINI-C1-E2 | 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.
