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.

Statusdraft · not yet verified: nobody has reported building and running this harness
Open errors10: read the Findings page before cutting any wire
Size of the job65 wires · 10 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).

Notes

Fit check: needs add-on. Resolve these before building: - No drive-by-wire; needs a cable-throttle conversion or an external DBW controller - Trigger pattern for Honda C32B not found in the ECU's docs (Trigger-pattern list is only inside MEITE software, not published online) - Only 4 ignition outputs for 6 cylinders: wasted spark (pair coils per firing order) - Only 4 injector outputs for 6 injectors: batch / semi-sequential injection - This car has Honda Type 1A (1997+) immobilizer; needs a delete/bypass Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-11. Review every wire against both manuals before building.
