ABF Wiring simple
« on: 18 July 2011, 21:18 »
Well i sent my my loom to Rubjonny who does his thing.. but when i received it back i had no idea where most things went.. RobJonny then promptly sent me a PM with this info which should benefit a lot of people wishing to do lets face it the most common install in a mk2 chassis..

This should help with labelling the loom up for a faster install when on the car  :wink:

small bit that goes on the engine:
2 & 3 pin plug furthest away from round plug - idle & tps plugs on the throttle body
3 pin plug near round plug - dizzy
2 pin white plug - white coolant sensor side of head
single spade connector - black coolant sensor side of head
ring terminal - bolt to rear of head
3 pin & 5 pin plug - isv and fuel rail
blue wire with single spade - large blue or brown sensor on filter housing (has black outer sheath, peel back the big rubber boot to check wire colour)
yellow wire with single spade - large white sensor on filter housing (has black outer sheath, peel back the big rubber boot to check wire colour)
green/black single spade - small white sensor on filter housing

fusebox:
4 main fb plugs will only fit the sockets they need to go in due to the layout, pin orientation and the locking peg on the back
single pin with large spade and red wire - Z/1
single pin grey/white wire - diagnostics
3 random single wires - mk3 dash so unused

engine bay:
7 pin plug near ecu connector - the old mk2 tci-h unit
2 pin and 4 pin plugs near fusebox plugs - inlet temp and lambda
2 pin plug on its own with red/white and brown/white - outside temp sensor in passenger side inner wing
brown ring terminal on its own - battery -ve
2 pin plug red/black and blue/black - reverse switch
single pin plug blue wire - alternator wire (the blue wire on mk2 lighting loom near battery +ve is now unused, or you can use this instead whichever is easier)
3x 3 pin plugs near big round plug - knock sensors and crank sensor. the 2 knock sensor plugs are the ones that are the same shape, and are colour coded to the knock sensor plugs
chunky red/black wire - starter motor

diagnostics and immob box:
black - ign live
brown - earth (i use the stud on the a pillar with 13mm nut)
red/white and brown - live and earth to ciggy lighter wires

HTH  :smiley:

Any chance of some pics of the loom?
Inlet temp and lambda im not sure of. I just had to go out and plug it all in my engine to check against your list. It seems a lot is still attached on the engine thankfully.
EDIT: got 2 and 4 pin plugs attached on inlet it seems so now im confused. What is the lamda sensor gonna plug into?

the 4pin plug is the lambda one and the 2 pin is the inlet temp

Got them on the engine and they go to the back of the multiplug. They were allready there without the rest of the loom, just cant figure out what to do with the wires that will come off the  lambda sensor for the downpipe when i get one.
Is there not a plug for that?

C ant get to it now. Those plugs are allready plugged in.
From what ive read i will need a 4 wire lambda sensor with a boss welded onto downpipe.
Where these 4 wires gonna go?
