Programmable Output x4 setup

[ddog]

Hi guys, I need some help in understanding how to wire up programmable out puts on the V3.0 PCB(MS2) as I am trying to go full stand alone and need to create spare outputs for two fans and two VRIS solenoids (MX6 V6). I already have the 4 MK-RelayCtrl Kits to wire it to the PCB.
I plan to use the ACCEL LED, WARMUP LED, IAC1 and Knock Sensor for the "spare outputs" as Both the FIDLE and IAC2 outputs were already used from following Diyautotune MX6/Probe guide.

I have been using the MSEXTRA, Megamanual and DIYautotune site to try and understand the spare outputs and I am still a bit confused on it. Below is an example of me using the WARMUP LED circuit as a programmable output. Can someone please give me some guidance on this

Using the WARMUP LED circuit for FAN1:
Input side - BASE on transistor connects to top of R27 or U1 with inline 1kohm resistor.
Output side -COLLECTOR can connect to SPR 2/3/4
Ground - EMITTER connects to proto area ground
* diode is connected externally from the PCB on the coil side of relay

On the output side does it matter which DB37 pinouts (SPR1-4 or IAC1/2A-B) ,you connect it to once it does not conflict with any other existing in use circuits?

Also from the above example do I need to remove R27 or just jumper to it?

You got it. Although the diode can also be on the main board. We have a picture of what the mod looks like here:

Right - as long as you know what wire you're using and don't try to make the pin pull double duty, you'll be fine.

No.

Thank you for the response Matt.

I have been looking at the relay contolkit setup on DIYautotune for wiring up the diode internally. It says the diode goes to 12V source 0n D9. Do I connect the diode to any 12V source on the board?

[Matt Cramer]

S12 might be the best point to connect it to.

Thanks again, found the 12v points of supplies on Msextra manual:

12v on left side of U5
12v on S12 underneath R57
12v on S12c under Q11

S12 is a better one for flyback as it is upstream of D10.

S12 is a better one for flyback as it is upstream of D10.

I created one ciruit so far connected to S12c, will remedy this.

Would connecting all four diodes from the 4 additional circuits to S12 cause any problems? I have the same question for the ground connections as I was also planning to split the four ground connections of the circuits between the two proto area grounds.
