Tacho signal wire from 1HD-FTE ECU

Post by fester2au »

Guys I am having trouble identifying the signal wire from a 1Hd-FTE ute ECU so need help, I expect the wagon version uses the same trigger also. No sure of year but it would be an early version I expect (pre 2000 ish).

I need the wire colour code and/or the pinout location from the ECU. Actually ECU pinout would be handy to cross reference.

I have the factory manual on CD but the wiring section is not that straight forward to follow, at least not like older style wiring diagrams.

if you have a wagon 1HD-FTE, doesnt that loom run CAN-BUS, which confuses the hell out of everything as its common wires for data, not electrical current?

That could explain why the wiring diagrams seem to disappear into thin air or at least have very few wires. My engine is ute based but unfortunately I only have the wiring diagram (factory CD) from the wagon. I was hoping it would be fairly clear. Maybe I need to find the wiring for a ute.

Thansk Mark, just that some of the masking tape labels are finally starting to fade out so I'm not totally sure and wanted to cross check properly. Haven't looked that far intot he dash but will when I swap tachos over. If you can find that printout it would be handy.
