Question about db37 cable

Post by geaux »

New guy!! HI!!

I bought a db37 cable since I figured it would be easier and much neater than trying to make one. My plan is to attach to the wires. My question is are the wire colors in this diagram standard to db37?

I modified this from an image I got off the internet to correspond to my single cylinder project.

Who did you buy the cable from and which Megasquirt product are you using?
EDIT: The sensor grounding is incorrect in that (old) image.

That was fast. I am using megasquirt ii and I ordered the cable off the net from Hong Kong I think.

I can test with a meter easy enough, just thought I would be lazy and see if anybody had a quick answer if the wire colors are suppose to be standardized to pin numbers.

Something is wrong with the ground wires?

You'll have to check with your supplier about their wire colours.

You can find a list of pin names and function in the Hardware Manual. Click on Manuals above.
