terminal, eith er on e of the two signal output lines from the ECM can be
used. Leave the remaining line disconnected. Do not connect to ground.
- Battery A Note Z
Note E: The ECM speedometer and tachometer output signal line
J voltages are zero-cros sing square waves. The speedometer signals at J1-
37 and J1-36 are complements of each other. The tachometer signals at
J1-38 and J1-39 are complements of each other. Maximum signal
H amplitude will be +/- 5 volts or greater if load current is less than 4mA.
