GT3 ECU Pins

[Jean-Marc]

Can someone please let me know the pin code on the pre 2001 ECU?

I can't find it in any of my manuals and need it for a data logger - this is for a cup car but until 2001 the ecus were the same

Is this what you need?

[Jean-Marc]

Is this what you need?

Close but no cigar yet. It's the diagram that shows every pin that goes in the DME e.g. pin 80 = rpm signal pin 81 = ... etc

My manuals (pdf versions...) has everything except that! I have the 964 and 993 manuals and they have a very simple page with a view of the connector and next to each pin the function...

TIA

I sent you a PM with some info...

I sent you a PM with some info...

Loren,

Something funny happened with my race car and I don't know what it is... The RPM should have been a white wire and the throttle position a yellow and black.

I could never find the yellow and black but I did find the white and guess what... NOTHING was logging.

I finally got the RPM signal from the violet/green wire in the OBD II plug, conveniently located in the middle of the rear section.

Thanks for everything!

OBD II plug under the dash board?

No, it's a cup car so the OBD II plug is in the middle, behind the only seat.

That's because the white wire is a input to the ECU which the ECU translates to an RPM signal and outputs via the wire marked "TN-SIGNAL" (Violet/Green I believe).

Should this also work on street GT3s, and more broadly 996s?

Do any of you know which OBD II plug pin the violet/green wire goes to? (I'm also debating tapping in through the connector versus splicing into the wire)

Specifically this thread was about an RoW (not US) pre 2001 GT3. And, Carerra's have had 3 different DME's so each should be reviewed independently.

Ah, thanks Loren, the variety must explain the lack of specifc information on various boards. So does that mean that the RPM signal is on different pins on the ODBII connector (not DME) for different 996 models? I would have thought that they might have kept that consistent. Is the best thing to just look for the violet/green wire (or could it be different colors?)?

[Loren]

o does that mean that the RPM signal is on different pins on the ODBII connector (not DME) for different 996 models?

I did not say that. What I am saying is that the DME's from MY99 are very different from the DME's used MY01. As well in MY05 they changed again. Some of the OBD II wiring is different.

The best solution is to say what year and model car you are interested in so someone can check the schematic.

Gotcha! For me, it's a USA 2004 GT3... thanks in advance!

[Loren]

For a MY04 GT3 (US) it will be A9 on the OBD II connector - should be a violet/green wire. So in this case it is the same.

Thank you very much!

[EdNewman]

Loren, any idea on a 12 volt rpm signal? Violet/Green is a 5 volt signal which does not work with Traqmate :-( This is for a 2003 996 C2 Thanks

A coil or fuel injector pulse would work fine

[EdNewman]

Got it working, just needed a seperate ground. It is a 12 volt signal. Any idea on what wire color is the 5 volt potentiometer sensor for the E-gas?

Does anyone know what's the pin #/wire for the tach signal at the DME for a MY04 GT3?

Just as I quoted above - it is easiest to take it off the OBD II connector.

If you must take off the DME it is pin D17 (same violet/green wire.
