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 errors2: read the Findings page before cutting any wire
Size of the job17 wires · 9 connectors · 5 part lines

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
No supply/ground nets found to cross-check.

If any reading doesn't match, stop and get help before powering up.

errorINJECTOR_BALLASTKV8The 7M-GTE injectors (7M-GTE fuel injector) are low-impedance, but KV8 drives saturated (high-Z) injectors only. Add a ballast resistor pack in series with each injector, or use an ECU with low-Z / peak-and-hold injector drivers.
errorPHYS_REQUIRED_OPENKV8-D-1KV8-D-1 "ECU 14V supply" is required but not wired.
warnDATASET_GAPKV8 A14 of 26 cavities on KV8 A have no pin data (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,14,15,19). Anything there is invisible to these checks.
warnNO_FUEL_PUMPfuel pumpThis 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.

Notes

Fit check: unconfirmed. Confirm these before building: - Trigger pattern for Toyota 7M-GTE not found in the ECU's docs (No 7M-GTE/7M-GE decoder.) Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-11. Review every wire against both manuals before building. Open items: - Main-relay feed: no ecu_main_power pin on the stock or the new ECU - KV8-D 1: ECU 14V supply: required by Emtron KV8 but no stock pin feeds it; wire by hand - Fuel-pump control: Emtron KV8 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: - KV8-D 15: Ignition switch input: not fed (the stock ECU has no ignition-sense pin); feed it from a switched-ignition source
