SYSTEM CONNECTORS
The V-MAC IV system utilizes many different connector styles and sizes. The
Engine Management System (EMS) Module, Instrument Cluster Module (ICM),
and the Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) are some of the largest
connectors in the system. These connectors and control units are where the
majority of the V-MAC IV system testing is performed. This section illustrates
the EMS Module, ICM, and Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) connectors
and includes charts with connector terminal identification and functions. The
charts should not be used as a replacement for the detailed tests that appear in
this manual. The charts are intended as an identification reference for use when
repairing a connector or terminal.

Engine Management System (EMS) Module

The Engine Management System (EMS) Module has two 62 pin connectors. To
disconnect a connector from the EMS Module, pull back on the connector lock
and gently pull the connector back on its heel and away from the EMS Module.
For easy reference, the following illustration shows each pin number as it
appears on the connector. Be sure that the connector is aligned as shown below
to avoid confusion when checking pin numbers. The connector numbers and
EMS Module orientation are shown as a reference for reconnecting the EMS
Module to the engine harness.
